Schedule of events for Day Two at State Track and Field Championships

The track season will be over in about, oh, around 17 hours for our local high school track teams. If you want to get some sun tomorrow, come on down to Jefferson City and see plenty of kids medal. This might be the most medalists the Howard County area will have in the five years I’ve been here.

Glasgow medaled in three events, and if no one is DQ’d in the finals, we’re looking for at least medals in at least eight more events tomorrow between Glasgow and New Franklin, and possibly more in the field events.

Sectional track meet qualifiers head to Boonville

For the first time since I’ve come to Fayette, I’ll get to see New Franklin and Glasgow athletes at the sectional meet. It helps that those two schools also happen to be competing at the same place as Fayette.

Usually when I go to a sectional track meet, I’m there to cover anywhere from three to five events. If you look at the schedule sheet to the right, I’ve highlighted all the events I need to cover. It’s clearly more than five this year.

To make it easier for me, I’m going to go ahead and listed the athletes competing, in chronological order based on the time schedule. Or if you’d prefer, here are the heat sheets for the Class 1 sectional and the Class 2 sectional. Putting together this list may have taken longer than how long tomorrow’s track meet may last.

I think I’ll go ahead and order my media credentials for next week’s state track and field championships in Jefferson City.

2013 Lewis & Clark All-Conference baseball

For the first time in five years under head coach Chris Kendrick (and, for all I know, maybe even the first time ever), the Fayette baseball team had four players named to the 2013 All-Conference baseball team.

It’s the third consecutive year Landon Ball has been named to the team, the second year for Collin O’Connell, and they’re joined by Jerrod Riley and Sam Miller, who received the honors for their first time.

Below is the full list. Not surprisingly, Westran brings home the most All-Conference honors. Paris had the second most with five.

First team

• Landon Ball, sr., P/SS — Fayette
• Collin O’Connell, jr., OF — Fayette
• Jerrod Riley, fr., P/IF — Fayette
• Steven Hayhurst, sr., C/P/OF — Paris
• Shane Umstead, jr., DH/3B — Paris
• Laine Forest, fr., SS — Paris
• Stephan Whelan, sr., 1B/P — Paris
• Luke Armentrout, soph., OF — Salisbury
• Justin Linebaugh, jr., P — Salisbury
• Daniel Linneman, soph., C — Salisbury
• Dylan Smith, sr., P — Slater
• Justin Stiager, jr., 3B/P — Westran
• Devin Perkins, sr., C — Westran
• Zane Jacoby, soph., P/OF — Westran
• Mathew Edwards, fr., SS — Westran

Honorable mention

• Sam Miller, sr., INF — Fayette
• Tucker Gruber, fr., 2B — Paris
• Lane Springer, soph., P — Salisbury
• Austin Eddy, jr., SS — Slater
• Ely Botkins, jr., OF/P — Westran
• Jake Ingerbritson, soph., OF — Westran
• Parker Howard, soph., 2B — Westran

2013 conference baseball standings

Compiling area basketball standings was a piece of cake compared to the chaos of putting together spring baseball standings.

It’s actually been easier to keep track of postponements and cancellations than it has been tracking down scores since mid-March. But I’m giving it the old college try.

I guarantee this isn’t perfect, but it’s the best I can do. Most of my data came from the MSHSAA website, but I get the feeling a lot of coaches aren’t updating their schedules and scores, so some of this information is likely incomplete. But I know I have the records correctly for our coverage area teams.

Peruse this list at your liking. If a team has an asterisk next to it, it’s because I don’t feel confident that I have their up-to-date record.

Lewis & Clark Conference

1. Westran: 6-1
2. Salisbury: 4-4
3. Fayette: 3-4
4. Paris: 3-4
5. Slater: 0-2

(I feel pretty good about having the L&C records correctly listed)

Central Activities Conference

1. Sturgeon: 6-0
2. Cairo: 7-1
3. New Franklin: 7-4
4. Glasgow: 1-2
5. *Brunswick: 0-3
6. Madison: 0-5
7. *Keytesville: no record

Cooper County Activities Association

1. Pilot Grove: 7-2
2. *Jamestown: 1-1
3. Higbee: 1-4
4. Otterville: 1-5
5. *Bunceton: 0-1
6. *Prairie Home: no record

Independents

1. Harrisburg: 9-1

Kendrick hired as principal at Bunceton

Fayette High School boys basketball and baseball head coach Chris Kendrick announced Friday he is stepping down at the end of this school year as a physical education teacher to accept the positions of K-12 principal and athletic director of the Cooper County R-IV school district in Bunceton.

Kendrick said he will not coach at Bunceton and he will just serve as an administrator.

“The hard thing to think about was this was something that, if I (left Fayette), I was going to do it in a way in which I had a good opportunity to go somewhere and just be in administration,” Kendrick said. “That opportunity presented itself and I was able to take advantage of it.”

Kendrick, 32, has been at Fayette since the 2008-09 school year. In that time as the boys basketball head coach, he has compiled a 91-42 record (including 38-12 in the Lewis & Clark Conference) and led the Falcons to two Slater Wildcat Classic championships and a title in the Northwest Hughesville Tournament.

The Falcons had their most successful season under Kendrick in 2009-10, posting a 21-7 record and winning a share of the Lewis & Clark Conference championship. Fayette also appeared in the Class 2 District 7 championship game in 2010 and 2013 during Kendrick’s tenure.

As baseball coach, Kendrick has a 20-45 record with Fayette, but the Falcons are off to their best start under Kendrick in 2013 with a 3-4 record.

Kendrick said he and his family will continue to live in Fayette.

Comparing the 2012 vs. 2013 Fayette Relays

I don’t get many chances to do analysis, so I’m going to take advantage of this opportunity.

I understand that last Thursday was the first quality time many high school track teams were able to get out on the track for the 2013 season. Coincidentally, for a lot of them, it happened to be at a track meet, not at a practice.

So common sense tells me that, with a limited number of practices because of the inclement weather, numbers should be down, right? Well, that got me curious, and I got the idea to compare numbers from last year’s Fayette Relays to last week’s meet. For most schools, last year’s Fayette Relays was a team’s second meet of the season.

Yeah, some numbers are down, but believe it or not, there were some numbers that were up. And those numbers that are up give me reason to believe there is a lot of promise for those athletes this season. Below are some of the figures comparing results for Fayette and Glasgow athletes. (New Franklin did not complete in this year’s Fayette Relays).

NOTE: I’ll list these by Name: 2013 result (2012 result).
