Landmark Christian

The Landmark War Eagles varsity football team opened up their 2010 season by traveling to Augusta to take on the Aquinas Fighting Irish.

It was expected that Sandy Creek, the reigning Class AAAA state champions, would come out and make a statement against one of their county rivals in the season opener. And they did.

Landmark Christian School went 6-5 last year and lost in the opening round of the state playoffs to Commerce, 29-19. They produced a region record of 6-2, losing to Holy Innocents and Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy, and started the season with non-region losses to Brookstone and Warren County. The War Eagles, undoubtedly, would like things to go differently this year.

Whitewater’s varsity baseball team (23-6) has been cruising lately. The Wildcats won their first two playoff series in two games, have won eight in a row and haven’t scored under five runs since Apr. 19. Whitewater beat Hilllgrove 7-1 and 8-6 last week to make the Class AAAA quarterfinal. The Wildcats got solid at bats in the series from Alex Liquori, Tanner Dingler, Joel Van Asch, Kyle Dearing and Garrett Knowles among others.

The win pits them against the Jones County Greyhounds tomorrow with the doubleheader starting at 4 p.m.

The state track meets for girls took place last weekend and area schools proved their mettle with top finishes.

Whitewater's varsity baseball team is getting a taste of the sweet sixteen, while Landmark continues their quest to return to the Class A title game.

For those of you wanting to see a McIntosh/Starr’s Mill rematch in the state finals, both teams are still on track.

The second round of the state soccer playoffs starts this week and the match-ups are a lot more intense.

The state baseball playoffs begin this week and for the first time since 2003 Starr’s Mill will not be part of it.

Landmark Christian’s boys capped off a magical regular season with a region championship.
