  • Urchins win Union Co. Tournament

    East Union dethroned the two-time defending Union County Champion New Albany Bulldogs last Thursday, picking up their first county title since 2005.

    Only three teams participated in this year's Union County Tournament, as West Union and Myrtle were each playing games in Florida last week. This year's county showdown saw all three teams lose to one another, and going by least amount of runs given up, the Urchins claim the 2009 tournament crown. East Union gave up only eight runs, followed by Ingomar with 15 and New Albany with 16.

  • Tarrant: An athlete for all...

    Gathering outside the hitting cage, the members of New Albany's fast pitch softball team are socializing while taking turns getting in practice. For Ellen Tarrant, there is no time as she leaves from practicing with one sport to tryouts for another.

    This fast-paced life is one that the sophomore has come to enjoy, as she goes practically nonstop all year.

    Slow pitch softball, cheerleading, powerlifting and fast pitch softball are Tarrant's sports during the school year, not to mention traveling with Dizzy Dean softball during the summer.
