    May 18, 2013 | 0 0 comments | 3 3 recommendations | email to a friend
    Entering his 12th season in charge of the Carrollton High School football program, Rayvan Teague is tinkering with something he doesn’t do too often when it comes to his grunts in the trenches. Through the first week of spring practice, the Trojan coach has kept a keen eye on the line of scrimmage, where an ongoing development is underway with three Carrollton linemen working both sides of the ball. With three of his top defensive linemen also serving as some of the best bodies on the offensi...

    The course the Carrollton High School girls’ golf team navigated to reach the GHSA State Golf Championships may not have been the mapped out route, but the Lady Trojans ultimately reached their desired destination, nonetheless. And, quite honestly, the little speed bump along the way may be just what this group needed to add a little more fuel to the fire. In a new format implemented by the GHSA this year, the second-place finisher at region didn’t receive the automatic berth into the state t...

    In 2008, the Bremen High School boys’ golf team made the most of its trip to state by bringing home the Class A title, and this year’s group is ready to make a little history of its own. The Blue Devils took a big first step toward that goal by winning the Region 5-AA Tournament championship, making their qualifying score for state and getting to bypass the new sectional tournament. Bremen will tee off Monday morning at the Rocky Creek Golf Club in Vidalia for the Class AA portion of the GHSA...

    City of Harrisburg Mayor Linda Thompson holds a news conference in Harrisburg PennsylvaniaBy Hilary Russ (Reuters) - In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania's cash-hungry capital city, local political battles are waged much as they are across the United States: with big personalities and bare-knuckled verbal brawls. But unlike most cities, Harrisburg's financial troubles have thrust it into the national spotlight, most recently with a slap from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for fraud. Financing for a single incinerator has been driving the city toward insolvency since 2009. The $3.7 trillion U.S. ...

U.S. Ambassador Gerald Feierstein was thousands of miles (km) away at the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa, without his wife and family on what is called an "unaccompanied" posting. He is one of more than a thousand U.S. diplomats on such tours of duty in danger spots around the world, part of a trend that is changing the definition of being a diplomat. ...
