Chester City Administrator Jeff Kerr has baseballs autographed by Pete Rose, Johnny Bench and the entire 1980 Philadelphia Phillies World Series team that sit on his desk. None of those, though, hold as special a place in his heart as one scribbled on by his late step-father.

Richard Hall said he had a tough time on hole number four at the Chester Golf Club on Sunday. "I think I four-putted for a double bogey," Hall said. It probably won't be his performance on number four that Hall will remember, though. One hole prior, he had his second-ever hole-in-one. Hall has been playing golf since his senior year of high school in 1961. He plays about twice week, he said.

Great Falls graduate Torrey Craig reached the 20-point plateau for the third straight game; however, a five-plus minute drought in the second half proved to be the difference in the contest as Dayton claimed a four-point win Sunday inside the University of Dayton Arena. At halftime, the two teams were deadlocked at 32, but Upstate (6-4) used a quick 5-0 spurt to take a 37-32 lead with 18:49 to play. Mario Blessing connected on a three-pointer from the wing and Ricardo Glenn connected on his lay-up to give the Spartans the five-point lead.
