Newton’s Law
Central Indiana
He’s already secured one Class 5A state championship ring and thirsts for a second. And when Carmel High School quarterback Morgan Newton takes the field for the Greyhounds, he does so equipped with a Howitzer arm and a fullback’s lower-body strength. And intelligence. Don’t leave that out. The kid carries a 3.5 grade-point average.
And at an age where most teenagers sometimes travel great lengths to avoid those style-cramping... More

Still Stading Strong
Central Indiana
In terms of appearance, the Blockhouse is as basic as a quarterback sneak, with an exterior comprised of bricks painted gray and an interior design altered by whatever new mess has been made.
Yet to Rebel Nation, this monument to gridiron simplicity epitomizes character and tradition. It is a place where triumphs have been noisily celebrated and where gut-wrenching losses have turned the building pin-drop quiet.
It’s... More

Adding some Hart
Central Indiana
John Hart has taken the head coaching job one of the highest profile football

sat down with Hart to discuss several hot topics.

Views From The Dugout
Central Indiana
The voicemail greeting on Pat O'Neil's cell phone is O'Neil asking a question that has plagued mankind for years: "Who let the 'Dogs out?" The eighth-year Brownsburg baseball coach bleeds purple now, but early on it was the orange of LaPorte High School, his alma mater. A Slicer from the Class of 1975, O'Neil played for and later coached under legendary coach Ken Schreiber, who in 38 seasons won an... More

Pure Royalty
Central Indiana
McConnell: I talked to a few good sources about you – nothing bad, I promise – and the people around here say that you’re the true definition of a three-sport athlete (between volleyball, basketball and softball). How do you define what a three-sport athlete is, in your mind?
Williams: I think being a true three-sport athlete basically means that you have to sacrifice your time and yourself for the... More

Blink and She’s Gone
Central Indiana
Candyce McGrone is well accomplished, leading the Warren Central girls track team to consecutive state championships as a sophomore and junior with several individual sprint and team relay titles. Yet as HSSTM’s Brian Moore finds out, despite her blazing speed and being the No. 1 sprinter in the country, McGrone is a bottle of nerves before the gun goes off.

Briana Bass
Central Indiana
Moore: Take us through a situation like this: season-opening game in early November, on the road against a tough Mooresville squad, down by two with less than 10 seconds to play. You hit a shot to force overtime and eventually led your team to a big win. What’s going through your mind in situations like that?
Bass: They missed the tail end of a one-and-one at the free throw... More

Candid Keefer
Central Indiana
HSSTM: It’s often said that you can’t teach size. While that’s about the most obvious cliché, you of all people should know it’s true. You’ve had quite a line of big men over the years at LN, especially recently, and this year is no different led by the 6-foot-9 Stephan Van Treese. What is your strategy to grooming the guys in the middle?
Keefer: When you think of basketball,... More

Grill
Central Indiana
HSSTM: Last year, you coached Center Grove to a 19-7 record and won a regional championship. Yet going into the postseason, perhaps due to a 3-4 finish in the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference (MIC), your team seemed to be overlooked. Did you use that as motivation heading into sectionals?
Lentz: I always feel like when you’re playing in the MIC, most people on the outside aren’t fully aware that... More
