METRO ROUNDUP: Kovach named second-team All-American

STAFF REPORT The Tribune-Star

TERRE HAUTE — Rose-Hulman senior running back Kyle Kovach has been named to the Beyond College Sports Network’s NCAA Division III second-team All-America team.

Kovach was Division III’s all-purpose yardage leader in 2011, averaging 225.1 yards per game, and earned his second straight Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference rushing title with 1,213 yards on 298 carries. He had a school-record 246 yards on the ground at Anderson and a 221-yard performance at Kalamazoo that’s fifth-best in Engineer history.

HIs all-purpose yards last fall included 408 receiving yards on 46 catches, 486 kickoff return yards on 24 attempts and 144 punt return yards on 20 attempts. He was named to the SI.com/Associated Press Little All-America third team as its all-purpose player.

Kovach is currently third on the Rose-Hulman career rushing list with 3,005 yards and needs just 311 during the fall season to become the school’s all-time leading rusher. He is already Rose’s career leader in all-purpose yards with 5,192 and ranks third in rushing touchdowns (31) and fourth in total touchdowns (38).

Rose-Hulman opens the 2012 season Sept. 1 with a home game against Kalamazoo.

n Johnson fails to advance — At Eugene, Ore., Felisha Johnson of Indiana State finished 13th in women’s shot put Thursday night at the Olympic Track and Field Trials, finishing three inches short of advancing to the finals.

Johnson’s career best is 56-11 1/4, set in the NCAA outdoor finals earlier this month.

Jeneva McCall of Southern Illinois was fifth (57-9 3/4) and Brittany Smith of Illinois State 11th (54-11 1/4) to advance.

n Post 346 wins — Wayne Newton Post 346 exploded for 12 runs in the second and third innings Thursday night and coasted to a 13-5, five-inning win over Charlton, Mo., in the first round of the Paducah Tournament.

Terre Haute trailed 1-0 going into the bottom of the second, but scored five times, then added seven more runs in the third to win via the tournament’s eight-run rule.

Cody Thornton and Tony Rosselli had four RBIs each to support winning pitcher Kodie Girton. Post 346 plays back-to-back games today, against powerhouse Columbia, Tenn., at 1:30 and then against one of the Paducah teams at 5:30.

Post 346 allowed just four runs in six games, an opening 1-0 loss and then five straight victories, with Cody Brock, Austin Hicks and Greg Hannum doing the pitching.

Denim Matchett had a bases-loaded double that was the big blow in an 11-2 win over Teutopolis in the championship game. Now 17-3, the Post 346 juniors will have their state tournament at Kokomo in three weeks.



n Champions — At Fishers, the Terre Haute Havoc won the 2012 Indiana 11U state baseball tournament last weekend, winning all five of its games.

    But if there were no excuses forthcoming from Kirchner and his Terre Haute North High School softball team, it wouldn’t have been hard to find a spectator or two to come up with extenuating circumstances about the Patriots’ 4-1 loss at the Class 4A Martinsville Sectional.
