Kroner: Ex-Urbana athletes get message across
URBANA – The names are ones of multi-sport Urbana High athletes from nearly a quarter of a century ago: Kirk Mammen, Mark Mammen and Dave Williams.
The individuals are ones, however, who are still prominent in the sporting community.
They might be more recognizable by their stage names as SuperDome, Tanglefoot Jones and Six-burgh.
Athletes of the Week
Mason Silver. Senior, St. Joseph-Ogden, Golf
Recently: Shot a 72 and placed second in the 22-team Pekin Golf Invitational. He competed as an individual because SJ-O doesn't have a team.
I need tickets to ... Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan.
If I had a million dollars, I'd ... buy land with a lake and woods on it.
