This is true. Linton was invited, I believe in 2018? And yes, baseball was a factor, so the AD told me. They didn’t like the idea of playing a full round-robin conference scheduled. It didn’t leave enough room on the slate to step outside the conference to play the likes of Castle and Jasper.

Interesting. The new Vigo County School Corporation Superintendent, Dr. Robert Haworth, just came from Elkhart...

Yep!

Agree, Tut. Much as I want to see the Miners win - and you know how much that is - hated to see it happen with Tell City having players sidelined. And I’m sure the Miner players would have preferred to go against the Marksmen at full strength. Unfortunate end to a great season for Tell City. The program has come a long way from 76-8 in 2015.

Kudos to Boonville then. Linton’s won more than a few games in the past thanks to second-half adjustments.

You win some, you lose some. Still proud of the Miners effort tonight. Give yourselves a chance to win and let the chips fall where they may. No such thing as “moral victories” obviously but at least the naysayers can’t say Linton doesn’t play anyone anymore. This loss, disappointing as it is will only serve to make the program better. If not in the immediate future, then maybe in the coming years as we continue to elevate the program to the next level.

Yes it was.

Miners 2-point conversion attempt In OT picked off in the end zone. Boonville 44 Linton 42, Final, OT.

Miners and Pioneers tied at 36 with 18 seconds to play. Looks like they’re headed to overtime.

Hunter Johns 70-yard punt return for a TD. Gennicks 2-pt conversion. Miners lead 36-28 1:31 to play.

Linton 28 Boonville 28 9 minutes left.

Linton 22 Boonville 20 3rd. Both teams score on 1st possession of the 2nd half.

Linton 14 Boonville 14 at the half.

I miss the “old days” too. It’s not that I don’t care, I’m just having a hard time getting interested. It doesn’t help that I’m not covering the Miners anymore. Team seems to be coming along pretty well though.

All that’s missing is the flatus hoagies.
