OAKLAND CITY, Ind. - The National Christian College Athletic Association Mid-East Region softball playoff series between Covenant College and Oakland City University was moved from a campus shut down because of no water supply to a place with way too much water Monday. Rain washed out the scheduled two games Monday in the tournament transplanted from Lookout Mountain to Indiana, and today is very iffy, according to Covenant coach Sara Russell. She said the OCU coach has lined up a better-draining area high school field for Wednesday, if needed.

- Junior Bryson Harper from Sequatchie County High School reset his Bryan College record for the 1,500-meter run with a third-place time of 3 minutes, 51.63 seconds at Butler University's Stan Lyons Invitational track and field meet Saturday in Indianapolis.
