BEDFORD – Cold starts, particularly in the chill of winter, can cause engine damage. While it’s usually unavoidable, it’s not recommended. Best to let the oil circulate before taking off.
Bedford North Lawrence, after a week without practice because of a school-mandated shutdown of all extracurricular activities, will restart it high-octane basketball engine on Saturday afternoon, hitting the road to face Madison.
This is not the best-case scenario, but in this virus-dictated world, it’s unavoidable. The No.7 Stars haven’t played since the 62-37 victory over Seymour on Dec. 9, and they haven’t been on the court at all this week. But away they go to a big Hoosier Hills Conference showdown between two of the league frontrunners.

BEDFORD – Chloe McKnight really didn’t want to wait one more game to make history. And as her senior teammate discovered, sitting at home under virus quarantine, that might never come. One more is not guaranteed any more. Carpe diem.
McKnight seized the day, becoming the eighth player in Bedford North Lawrence history to score 1,000 career points, as the No.7 Stars celebrated a premature Senior Night – minus one – with a memorable victory over Seymour.

BEDFORD – Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, and 2020 certainly qualifies. That’s why, in case the worst should happen, Bedford North Lawrence will honor its best earlier than normal.
Normal? What’s that now? Rather than tempt Fate and wait until the traditional home finale in late January to celebrate the six seniors on the roster, the Stars will fast-forward the annual observance for the team elders to Thursday night.
The seventh-ranked Stars (7-1) will face Seymour (4-3) in an important Hoosier Hills Conference clash, but for a brief time that will be overshadowed as the senior class of Chloe McKnight, Irye Gomez, Jenna Louden, Haley Deckard, Makena Moore and Grace Kinser take their bows.
