Napoleon High School to host Brian Stuard Night
Members of the Napoleon Athletic Boosters will honor Napoleon High School graduate Brian Stuard during a ceremony prior to the NHS/Columbia Central High School boys’ varsity basketball game Dec. 16. Stuard is starting his fourth season on the PGA Tour after finishing 51st in the FedEx Cup standings in 2013-14. He earned more than $1.85 million during the recently-completed season. Brian Stuard Night will begin with an autograph session in a room overlooking the basketball court from 5:30 to approximately 6:45 p.m. Those in attendance of the basketball game may have items signed by Stuard during that 75-minute period in the upstairs balcony. A 10-minute ceremony will take place following the NHS/CCHS junior varsity basketball game. Stuard will meet with media members following the ceremony and enjoy the friendly rivalry between the two schools following interviews. One of his best friends in high school is D.J. Heselschwerdt, coach of the NHS boys’ varsity squad. For more information, call NHS at 536-8667. Courtesy of Jeff Steers

Lumen Christi’s Khari Willis named JTV Sports Player of the Year
By Larry Jacobson, JTV Sports From a pure numbers perspective, the ‘nuts and bolts’ of Khari Willis – Lumen Christi’s standout senior running back and one of four finalists for the state’s Player of the Year – are staggering. Consider this year’s totals, which rank as one of the greatest single-season rushing marks in state history: 2,800 rushing yards and 30 touchdowns. 11.6 yards per carry and 233 yards per game. 50 carries and 412 yards in the season-ending playoff loss to Monroe St. Mary’s. But this is the best part about knowing the young man: He’s an even better person than he is a football player. When asked who he turns to for advice or guidance, on or off the playing field, Khari motioned to his father, John, sitting a few feet away from him. “My dad’s never forced me into anything,” Khari said. “He’s always let me choose what it is I want to do, and then he helps me get better at it. But he’s always let me take that first step.” “I’ve always told my kids that I don’t care what they do, I just want them to do it well,” John Willis said. “Once they’ve…
Hanover-Horton’s Johnnie Stewart named JTV Sports Coach of the Year
Stewart guided Hanover-Horton to best season ever; looks to make it the norm By Mike Moore Staff Writer Hanover – The shock and the awe, the celebration and the excitement, it was all a direct result of the greatness displayed on the field all fall. If Johnnie Stewart gets his wish, the 2014 season will become the norm with the Hanover-Horton football program, and not the exception. But taking a step back, focusing on the here and now, and appreciating this season for what it was, Stewart was an easy choice for the 2014 JTV Sports Football Coach of the Year. “This was a very special year,” Stewart said earlier this week. “In all my years of coaching, this is going to be one group and one season I’ll truly miss.” The Comets seemingly made history at every step this fall. Their 8-2 final record was the best in program history. The trip to the Division 6 playoffs was just the fourth such event, ever. The 6-1 mark in the Cascades Conference was the best since joining in 1976. The 282 points scored was third best in program history and the 189 allowed was the lowest since 2002. Needless to…
