The Neoga baseball game scheduled for today against Effingham has been rescheduled to tomorrow - 4/18/12 - at 4:00 pm.

The NTC conference announced 2 major changes in the upcoming 2012-2013 scholastic bowl season.  Unfortunately Cowden-Herrick will not be participating in scholastic bowl in the 2012-2013 school year so the number of teams will go to 10.  This will require a change in the schedule.  We will post it on the website as soon as all the changes have been made and we have done our best to make sure the new schedule works for the 10 teams.  In other news the conference has voted to change the scoring system used in the conference to match the new system used by IHSA in sectional, regional and state play.  Under the new system each toss-up will be worth 15 points and each bonus will be a 3 part bonus with each part being worth 10 points each.  We will still maintain the types of questions, and timing rules (12 minute halves, 10 second toss ups and 30 second bonus rounds) which does differ from the IHSA format a bit.  We felt taking the half time out of the game takes away some of the excitement and strategy of using the clock. Yes - schoalstic bowl CAN be exciting.  Come watch a few games and find out!

The NTC Conference track meet is coming on May 1st so it is time to start looking at entries and registration.  This year again we will be using Direct Athletics and Hy-Tek to manage and score the meet.  The request to set up the meet has been submitted to Direct Athletics and should be available for member schools to start entering your entries.

Entries at Direct Athletics will close at NOON on APRIL 30th

We will be running the heat reports around NOON on May 1st
