Look for a detailed story of the Sherman Lady Tide’s amazing season in next week’s edition of the Coal Valley News.
RON’S RAMBLINGS Although she did not pitch for a Boone County team, it would be difficult for any sports enthusiast not to recognize the name of Andrea Williamson, softball pitcher supreme from Harts Creek in Southern Lincoln County.

All of us who follow student/athletes develop a certain attachment and find ourselves moved when the end of a career rolls around.
At Scott High, a number of such athletes have passed us by in recent years. This time around, one of the most obviously dedicated and talented is Sara Browning, who played softball for Sco...
