By all accounts, this has been a good year for Jacksonville State center fielder Michael Bishop. A fun year. A productive year.
It’s been a different kind of year, as well, particularly as it relates to the role the junior has assumed and embraced.

Danica Patrick made history at the Daytona 500 by becoming the first woman to win a pole in Sprint Cup history.
On race day she ran in the top 10 all day and led three times.
Nothing to this superspeedway stuff, right?

Coty Blanchard was thinking about doing something a couple of weeks ago that would seem, well, unthinkable, now.
The versatile Jacksonville State infielder was considering changing his walkup song.
Now, that might not seem like a big deal to some, but ballplayers are a superstitious lot. Just about the time Blanchard was thinking about changing the name of that tune, he got hot at the plate — and so did the Gamecocks. Now, the song that follows the two-sport star to the plate has become something of a team anthem.

All the Jacksonville State hitters remember how hard it was to score on Anthony Ricciardi the first time they faced him this year, so coach Jim Case couldn’t help being impressed with what they did against him Wednesday night.
The Gamecocks erupted for three runs in the first and two more in the third against the Alabama State senior right-hander on the way to a 9-2 victory at Rudy Abbott Field.

The guys who live there may be called firemen, but a call to the bullpen from the Jacksonville State dugout isn’t always a call for help.
A lot of times this year it has been a call to put the game to bed.
The Gamecocks have one of the top stable of stoppers in the reliever-rich Ohio Valley Conference. It has been so deep and — in conference games, at least — so effective, JSU coach Jim Case is not afraid to go to any one of them at any time.

Connor Slane had two pretty good days in his final high school tournament before the state sectionals.
All he did was win medalist honors, be selected for the event’s $1,000 scholarship and make a shot that clinched the team victory. His birdie on the first hole of the team playoff Tuesday secured Pelham High’s win in the fourth annual Kelsey Goodwin Memorial Golf Classic at Cider Ridge Golf Club.

On a day when pitching was the premium, one inning can – and did – make all the difference to Jacksonville State. Tennessee Tech scored four runs in the second inning Sunday and they were all it needed to hold off the Gamecocks 4-0 and avoid being swept in the Ohio Valley Conference series.

Jana McGinnis admitted she was hesitant at first to attend the screening of a student film about former Jacksonville State softball player Tera Ross even though she whole-heartedly supported the project.
But after watching the 31-minute documentary, she was glad she went.
McGinnis and her three Jacksonville State assistant coaches sat in the back of the Self Hall media library Thursday as student filmmakers Billy Dunn, Bradley McGuire and Robert Pearson premiered “Go Hard: The Tera Ross Story” in their video editing class.

Jim Case has the Jacksonville State baseball team playing some of its best ball of the season and it couldn’t be coming at a better time.

Adam Scott’s playoff victory Sunday in the Masters may have been a wonderful thing for the folks in Australia, but it’s bound to fire up the opponents of the long and anchored putters.

Jason Day stands over every shot here feeling like it’s the biggest shot he’s ever hit in his life. This place, this tournament, this major, has a way of making you feel that way.
With that kind of approach — provided, of course, he keeps pulling them off — he could be wearing a green jacket come Sunday evening.
