CORRECTION In the story referring to the lost spring sports season for the Pike Central Lady Charger softball seniors last week, Karsyn Pipes was inadvertently misidentified in her biography. She is the shortstop for the Lady Chargers, not the Lady Titans. We regret the misidentification. PAC to give seniors medals The Pocket Athletic Conference on Monday unanimously voted to recognize all senior spring sport student-athletes as All-Pocket Athletic Conference for the 2020 season. The Pocket Athletic Conference member school administrators agreed that during these unprecedented times in high school sports, in which student-athletes had no control over how their final season as a high school student ended, that it was appropri- ate to name each as All-Conference. Each student-athlete will receive a medal. The Pocket Athletic Conference consists of the following high schools: Forest Park, Gibson Southern, Heritage Hills, North Posey, Pike Central, Southridge, South Spencer, Tecumseh and Tell City.
