BEDFORD – As a three-sport athlete, Bedford North Lawrence’s Kline Woodward avoided the temptation to specialize during his high school career. Now he will get the chance to focus on his favorite pastime at the next level. Woodward signed with Lincoln Trail College to play baseball on Tuesday. After competing in football (he was All-Hoosier Hills Conference as an offensive lineman and linebacker) and basketball (a reserve off the bench), he will pinpoint his energy on his best sport.

BEDFORD – Baseball superstition – the sport is rampant with unproven but universally upheld beliefs – dictates the phrase “no-hitter” cannot be mentioned when a pitcher is hurling such a gem. Don’t dare do that. The jinx will surely cause bad luck, and the immediate end of the bid.
