Daily Reporter staff reports
Sports seasons don’t get more entertaining than the one Hancock County experienced this school year.
In the year that was, fans witnessed school and state records falling at unprecedented rates, championship aspirations become reality and droughts wash away in victory.
Student-athletes from Eastern Hancock, New Palestine, Mt. Vernon and Greenfield-Central all distinguished themselves with outstanding team and individual achievements.
During the next four editions, the Daily Reporter sports staff is going to give readers a chance to relive those memories with our annual Sports Photos of the Year and Best in Show for 2014-15.
Up first, Daily Reporter photographer Tom Russo is turning back the clock and taking readers behind the lens to catch a glimpse of his perspective on the year in sports.
Russo has picked through his selects and is revealing his favorite photos — including some images never before published.
Leading up the Fourth of July, the Daily Reporter is highlighting the spectacular, the heartbreaking and the unexpected in consecutive editions Friday and Saturday.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, sports editor Rich Torres and sportswriter Jim Ayello are announcing their Best in Show, with special recognition going out to the top individuals, best teams and elite county coaches.
Who is the Best Male and Female Athlete for 2014-15? Which sports programs will be named this year’s top performer? Who scored the Best Upset, and which school can claim this year’s Breakout Athlete?
