The Napoleon High School volleyball program has tweaked that old saying in light of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions not allowing them to practice indoors. When life gives you lemons, don’t just make lemonade – make a sand volleyball court is their new mantra. The idea of creating two sand volleyball courts in the southeast corner of Jackson County began in June. A conversation before the start of summer volleyball workouts between two rival coaches led to an idea to attack COVID-19. Columbia Central High School volleyball Coach Jenny Tompkins and Napoleon High School Coach Lisa Bradley discussed the possibility of building outdoor volleyball courts at each of the schools. Napoleon built theirs within a matter of weeks and CCHS just completed their outdoor sand court last week. Last week the Michigan High School Athletic Association ruled volleyball, swimming and boys’ soccer could continue to practice outside, but not compete or…

By Jeff Steers JTV Sports (August 22, 2020 6:08 PM) Close but no cigar has always been the mantra for local golfer Dave Crandall. Finally, he finished off two solid rounds of golf with excellent putting. Crandall won the Jackson Stableford Golf Tournament at Ella Sharp Park on Saturday with a two-round total of 29. He defeated Tom Butterfield by eight points and Scott Denig by nine points to earn his first major golf title in Jackson. The tournament used the Stableford Scoring System giving golfers eight points for a double eagle; five points for an eagle; two points for a birdie; zero points for a par; minus one point for a bogey; and minus three points for a double bogey or worse. Crandall said he finally put it all together to win a major title. He always seems to be around the lead in major tournaments in Jackson, but hasn’t been able to close out the win. Crandall lost in a playoff two years ago at the Jackson Masters Golf Tournament. “Today I didn’t miss any…
