Westfield growing ‘by leaps and bounds’
By JANET HART LEONARDLast Sunday I watched as each one
of them took offtheir ball cap andwiped the perspira-tion from theirfrowning andsweating brow.They kicked at themuddy dirt. Youcould see the lookof overwhelmingdisappointment asthey looked at the
scoreboard. 7-0 going into the fifth in-ning of the World Series of the U9 base-ball teams at the Field of Dreams.
They were the coaches.What do you say to a team of little
boys who were facing a loss in thechampionship game, the last game of theseason. I'm not sure what they did saybut the boys scored a run in the bottomof the fifth inning.
Sixth inning and a quick three outsfor the opposing team, who had alreadybegan celebrating. Then our little guysgrabbed their bats. A walk. A hit to leftfield. A steal (yes! Jake). A run. Anotherrun. Then FOUR more. That's right. Theend of the sixth inning and the score isTIED!
No way. Impossible? What were thechances?
We then went into an extra inningplaying the California Rule. Only a fewparents and Grand Chuck had ever heardof it. Each team starts with one out andthe team who is batting starts with arunner on second. Top of the seventhand the opposing team gets two moreouts.
Then we are up. "Just one runboys...just one." Runner placed on sec-ond then got to third on a wild pitch. Ournext batter hit the most wonderfulground ball. Run kids run! The runneron third clicked his cleats and off he ran!There is no place like Home plate whenyou need just one more run...SAFE! Wewon!
You would have thought that theseboys actually won the big league WorldSeries. They had done the improbable.They were the Champs.
It wasn't just about winning but notgiving up. Some lessons have to belearned by experience, not by lectures.
Someday those nine year olds willremember the lesson that they learnedthat day. I know it's something that theircoaches will never forget.
Never give up...NEVER!
Batter up andnever give up!
By RICHIE HALLAnyone wanting to beat the Saturday
afternoon heat at the Hamilton County 4-HFair headed into the Exhibition Center.
They would've seen some furry friends,as the cat show took place that afternoon. Acat show may seem unlikely at a county4-H Fair, but there have been several 10-year members that have spent their entirecareer showing their feline companions.
"This is the only project that I've donefor 10 years," said Shawn Piccock. TheCarmel graduate was there with her cat,nine-year-old Buttercup. Piccock has beenshowing Buttercup for eight years; sheshowed another cat her first two years.
"It's really fun because you get to learnmore and more as you go on, and how tobetter groom your cat," said Piccock, whoturns 19 on July 27 and is headed to theUniversity of Southern Indiana. "So I reallyliked it."
Piccock said Buttercup gets nervous,although she said the judges don't really seethat when her cat is on the stage. Piccockhas been the overall grand champion twiceand also earned reserve champion honorstwice.
"Getting ready for the show, she knowswhen it's going to happen, so she goes andhides," said Piccock. "But other than that,she's totally fine with it."
Another 10-year-member is RachelBledsoe, who also just graduated from Car-mel. She brought Max to the 4-H Fair forthe first time, after years of showing anoth-er cat, Boomer. Max is 11 months old,Boomer is now 15.
Bledsoe said her younger cat is "playfuland energetic," although he was cool at thecat show Saturday.
"Max is just really calm, it's not reallyfazing him right now," said Bledsoe. "He'sbeen asleep."
It's a different story at home, however."He likes to get into things and climb
and play with toys," said Bledsoe. "Hewants to play with Boomer, and Boomerdoesn't really like it."
Bledsoe, 18, will be going to IUPUI thisfall. She has also enjoyed showing catscalling it a "very positive experience."
The next generation was also on displayat the cat show. Brooke Daugherty will bea fourth-grader at Brooks School Elementa-ry in Fishers, and she was at the show forthe first time with her cat, Henry, wholooked cool in a Hawaiian-themed cage.
"I was definitely nervous, but I think itwent really well," said Daughtery, 9. Shenoted that Henry is a little shy.

"There was another female cat next tohim, he was kind of hissing at it a littlebecause they were trying to mark their ter-ritories," said Daugherty. But other thanthat, he actually did really good.
Daugherty has had Henry "since the dayafter the was born." Her friend is now sixyears old. "I got him from a vet," she said.
She's learned quite a bit about cats aswell.
"We learned a lot about body parts andhow to groom them and proper stuff to dowith them and how to take care of them,"said Daugherty.
Jackie Morgan, the cat show projectleader, said there were about 45 animals atthe show this year.
"We see a lot of quality animals here atHamilton County," said Morgan. "We see alot of enthusiasm and support from theparents with the young people. We're verypleased with the turnout and the quality ofthe animals."

By DON JELLISONReporter Editor
The final numbersappear to be in thehand of Bud Wright,and the Sheridan foot-ball coach isn’t talk-ing. Well, not yet.Well, not much.
Entering the 2015season, Wright is thewinningest coachamong those stillcoaching. He also is
the all-time leader.Bud, a Sheridan graduate who played
football for the Blackhawks, is about toenter his 50th season as Sheridan’s coach.Overall, his 51st season coaching highschool football.
Wright has won 392 games. That’s No.1 on the active coaches list. No. 2 is RussRadtke of New Prairie with 324 victories.Should Wright retire today, which hewon’t, Radtke still is 68 wins behind. That’sa lot of wins, considering regular seasons infootball consist of just nine games. Thencomes the playoff.
Just when you think Bud is about toretire, something special comes along. Thisseason it’s a group of strong, promisingsophomores.
Wright appears to be pumped. Again.But, Bud also likes to fish in Florida and
now that son Kevin is coaching in Florida,well, who really knows.
Wright will say this. He wants to win400 games. Then let the others chase. In
today’s world, you probably won’t seecoaches staying in the game long enough tocatch Bud Wright.
Ever.“That’s my goal, winning 400 games,”
Wright told me this past week.He needs eight. With this year’s sched-
ule, playing in the Hoosier Heartland Con-ference, reaching eight wins will bedifficult. Bud Wright has accomplished lotsof difficult tasks in his football coachingcareer.
So, this year, maybe next year, it won’tbe shocking if Bud reaches his goal.
Sheridan’s home schedule this year atBud Wright Stadium will include gameswith North White, Eastern and Taylor. Onthe road, Sheridan will play at WesternBoone, Clinton Central, Carroll, Tri-Cen-tral and Tipton.
The big difference in the schedule thisyear is a regular-season playoff game basedon the conference records.
Here’s kind of something interesting inWright’s search for eight wins. Sheridan’slast season to do that was 2012 when theBlackhawks went 9-2, losing to LafayetteCentral Catholic in the semi-state. TheBlackhawks won five games the next sea-son and seven games last season.
Here are a couple other things when itcomes to football wins.
The No. 6 winningest current coach isFishers’ Rick Wimmer with 234. In fifthplace is Mo Moriarity, the former Carmelcoach, with 262 wins. Moriarity nowcoaches at Bloomington South.
Kevin Wright, now in Florida, has won188 games.
Among the leaders on the all-time list(those active and those retired) is formerCarmel coach Dick Dullaghan with 312.
He’s No. 7, all-time. No. 12 is anotherformer Carmel coach, Jim Belden, with 283.
For now, and likely forever, Bud Wrightis the leader. What will be the final totalwill be decided.
Bud is 8 wins away from goal
