As hosts of a pod in the American Legion Wood Bat Classic the Cannons of course set sights on winning not only their bracket but playing for the title as well. The tinkering head coach Austin Sharp drew up nearly worked as West Plains advanced to the first round of elimination play, losing to eventual tournament runner-up, the Billings Scarlets, 3-1 on...
SPOKANE — During an unusually quiet week in an otherwise busy time for AAA American Legion play, the West Plains Cannons had just two games, winning both in decidedly different ways 11-0 and 3-2 over the Spokane Northstars, June 4 and 5. “I don’t think we hit a ball out of the infield in the first inning and we scored six runs,” Cannons Coach Austin Sharp said of the June 4 rout of the Rogers High-based team. The Cannon’s “small ball” strategy allowed them to open the floodgates early in the first game. “We’ve always...

INDIANAPOLIS – A 25-7 stretch of the second half by the Kansas Jayhawks drowned out Eastern Washington's chances in the first round of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament March 20.

While this plea may not carry much weight I’m going to present it anyway. Ringo my beagle has an eating disorder, meaning that if an entire bag of food were somehow left within reach of his snout, he just might eat until he burst. But that’s not the point. Somehow when we got him as a pup nearly 14 years ago on Father’s Day we were told that he was typical of many beagles. They eat, eat, eat and slowly become big and round. Through careful exercise, Ringo has remained a constant 35 or so pounds. He became my wife’s regular...
