-Michelle Wie fired a 2 under 70 in the final round of the Honda LPGA Thailand but her playing partner, Yani Tseng, bested that with a five under round of her own. That propelled Tseng, at -15 for the tournament, to her third consecutive win of the season. Wie finished second at -10 with I.K. Kim and Karrie Webb tying for third at -9. Wie started the day one behind Tseng and stayed with her through nine holes, each of them shooting three under 33's. Tseng continued her hot play with birds at holes 10, 12 and 13 to pull away from the Wie Lass who failed to find a birdie on the back nine.
-Here in Loogootee yesterday morning, the Vincennes Rivet Lady Patriots played even with the Northeast Dubois Lady Jeeps through three quarters and then pulled away to a 12 point victory, 47-35. (Dave Wininger showed up for the 11am scramble and asked me why I wasn't listening to the game on the radio, especially since the Rivet girls were trying to lose - that was late in the third quarter when the Jeeps were playing the Patriots even. Turned it on and caught the fourth quarter race to victory by the purple and gold.) That propelled them into the regional final against Tecumseh who bested Borden, 42-32, in the second morning game. After a tight first quarter, which closed with the Rivet girls up 9-7, the game became a showcase for a lock down end to end defensive expertise of the #1 ranked girl's basketball team in the state as they rolled to a very impressive 59 to 28 victory. Vincennes Rivet (26-0) will face Jac-Cen-Del (19-5) in the semi-state next Saturday at either Southport or Bedford North Lawrence. Fort Wayne Canterbury (22-2) faces Turkey Run (23-2) in the other Class A semi-state.
-Irish men and women lost their basketball games yesterday, the men to West Virginia and the women to UCON. Not a particularly good day for Irish fans.
-More golf out at Lakeview today with temps getting into the 60's.
-One last item: Don't forget Rex Hudson's 80th birthday celebration up at the Odd Fellows Lodge in Bloomfield. One to four this afternoon. See you there, Rex, but just in case I forget, a big Happy Birthday to you.
