Conley punts in All-Star Game

Greenfield-Central punter Jordan Conley helped the South win the annual North-South All-Star football game 13-7.

Conley punted four times for an average of 33.5 yards, but two of his four punts pinned the North inside its 20 yard line. His first kick was a coffin-corner boot that sailed out of bounds at the 5.

His last kick pinned the North at its own 19, forcing it to have a long field in the closing minutes. The North drove inside the South 25, but could not finish the drive.

Conley was the lone Hancock County representative in this year's annual game.

Gibson throws 1 1/3 scoreless

Greenfield-Central graduate Kyle Gibson threw 1 1/3 scoreless innings in tonight's All-Star Futures Game -- a contest pitting the top prospects from throughout minor league baseball played at Arizona's Chase Field. That is also the site of Tuesday's MLB All-Star Game.

Gibson allowed two hits in his time in. He came in with the game tied 3-3 in the sixth and the World team having scored three runs in the inning. The first batter he faced hit an RBI triple, but Gibson retired the next batter to end the threat. In the seventh, he allowed a leadoff single, then induced a flyout to left, a popout to first and then picked off the runner to end the inning.

Gibson, the Minnesota Twins' first-round pick in 2010, currently pitches for the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings in the Twins' system.
