Denise Andrea Pearson, she was my sister!!!
Denise's favorite song!! "Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac.
Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
and wouldn't you love to love her?
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
and who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen
woman, taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
She is like a cat in the dark
and then she is the darkness
she rules her life like a fine skylark
and when the sky is starless
All your life you've never seen
woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
will you ever win?
Will you ever win?
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
She rings like a bell through the night
and wouldn't you love to love her?
She rules her life like a bird in flight
and who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen
woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
will you ever win?
Will you ever win?
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Oooooh
Taken by
Taken by the sky
Taken by
Taken by the sky
Taken by
Taken by the sky
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
My sister Denise's 2nd favorite song! "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan!

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lie
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
My sister Denise's 3rd favorite song! "I can only imagine" by MercyMe!
I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk
By Your side
I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When Your face
Is before me
I can only imagine
[Chorus]:
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for You Jesus or in awe of You be still
Will I stand in Your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself
Standing in the Son
I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever
Forever worship You
I can only imagine

CC baseball makes more news!
The 2008-09 school year produced a state champion, as well as several near misses.
Central Catholic's baseball team capped the school year with a blowout victory in the Class A state championship to highlight area athletics. It was the program's third title in the last six years.
Central Catholic's baseball team capped the school year with a blowout victory in the Class A state championship to highlight area athletics. It was the program's third title in the last six years.
Harrison's softball team and McCutcheon's cross country team fell just short of state titles, as did West Lafayette's Raymond Mahon and McCutcheon's Megan Gallagher in the 500 freestyle events at the swimming state finals.
McCutcheon's baseball team and Delphi's softball team each lost by one run to the eventual state champion in the regional finals of the state tournament, while Benton Central and Crawfordsville each fell a few points short of competing in the Class 3A girls basketball state finals.
Delphi junior Braden Atwood also bowed out to eventual state champion Michael Duckworth in the quarterfinals of the individual state wrestling tournament.
Central Catholic's volleyball team made a second straight trip to the Class A state semifinals, while Harrison lost the 4A regional championship to eventual state runner-up Muncie Central.
For the third straight season, Central Catholic's boys basketball team lost the north Class A semistate game at Crawley Center. The Knights fell to Triton for the second year in a row.
Feels like the first time
Harrison's trip to the softball state finals marked the first time the Raiders were among the final two teams.
Coach Abby Willis' team put on an improbable run that included an upset of top-ranked and previously unbeaten Homestead in the regional. The Raiders lost to Center Grove 2-0 in the state championship game.
McCutcheon's girls swimming team outscored Twin Lakes by 31 points to win the program's first sectional title this season.
The Mavericks won five events in the process, including two individual titles by Megan Gallagher, who also was a part of two victorious relays.
That team was one of three Mavericks programs to win a first sectional title.
McCutcheon's boys soccer team won its first, while the girls soccer program claimed its first sectional and regional titles before falling one game short of the state finals.
Likewise, Crawfordsville's girls basketball team won its first sectional championship this season, then followed with the program's first regional title. The Athenians lost 49-44 to Owen Valley in the Class 3A Southport Semistate.
Southmont also won the program's first softball sectional.Long time coming
Lafayette Jeff broke a drought of 14 years without a girls basketball sectional title when the Bronchos defeated McCutcheon for the title this year.
That pales in comparison to Rensselaer's boys track team. The Bombers claimed their first sectional crown since 1990, while Fountain Central's wrestling team hoisted its first sectional trophy since the 1991-92 school year.
West Lafayette's boys basketball team overcame a regular-season loss to Frankfort to win the program's first sectional since 2000 and North Montgomery's football team won its first sectional title since winning back-to-back state championships in 1995 and '96.

CC determined to repeat!
INDIANAPOLIS -- Minutes after winning their second state championship in three years, Central Catholic's senior leaders shared a unanimous vision for the program's future.

"Nothing less," senior shortstop Dru Anthrop said. "If they have the will, they have the way. They can do it, and all they have to do is set their mind to it and they'll be fine."
The Knights must replace senior starters Anthrop, Tyler Child and Matt Combs and reserves Michael Lippai and Ben Wiley. But Central Catholic returns enough talent to make another run to Victory Field next season.
Every significant arm on the Knights pitching staff returns, as does the bulk of a lineup that scored 60 runs in six tournament games.
"Those guys are going to be tough to replace," CC coach Tim Bordenet said of his outgoing seniors. "At the same time, we do have a lot of guys back with experience, and this tournament run will definitely help them as well."
Junior pitcher Taylor Glaze finished off a 9-0 season with five one-hit innings in a 14-1 state championship victory over Vincennes Rivet. He compiled a 1.19 ERA with 59 strikeouts in 70 2/3 innings as the Knights' ace.
Central Catholic also returns juniors Brett Haan (6-1, 2.42 ERA) and Chas Bobillo (4-1, 2.74 ERA) and promising freshmen Austin Munn and Nick Stone. The top five pitchers return from a staff that finished with a 2.26 ERA.
"It's going to be great next year; I'm going to come and watch," said Child, a three-year starter at catcher. "I'd like to see another championship next year."
Cleanup hitter and second baseman Reed Drysdale (.439, 51 RBIs) will be a four-year starter next season. Junior center fielder Scott Windler (.454, 3 home runs, 50 runs) enjoyed a breakout season, and juniors Bobillo, Cole Hruskovich and Jason Aldridge took on bigger roles.
After losing six starters from the 2008 team to graduation, the Knights relied on the emergence of several first-time starters. As those players improved, Central Catholic won 15 of its last 16 regular season games.
"Every game, everyone got better, and it carried on into this game" Glaze said.
Strong freshman seasons from Munn and Stone set the foundation for the program's next three seasons.
Munn capped his rookie season with a 3-for-4 performance as the designated hitter in the title game. He also went 3-0 and struck out 28 batters in 21 innings.
Stone also went 3-0 while posting a 1.77 ERA and 27 strikeouts in 27 2/3 innings.
Expectations will be high again next season, but that's nothing new to the Knights.
"Same thing -- nothing less," Glaze said. "We can do this again, we really can. We've just got to work at it.
"I'm not saying we will, but we can. We definitely can."

STATE CHAMPS ARE THE CENTRAL CATHOLIC KNIGHTS IN LAFAYETTE, IN!!!!!! A 14-1 thumping of Rivet. BUT!!! Before I go on, kudos to this team (Rivet) to have made it this far. Most have read the article on JCOnline. They had trouble getting enough players to field the team. They begged a female to play & she did & she did it right. She started in left field & had a designated hitter for her. She made some routine plays in left field, did have an error on a routine fly ball as she dropped it. I think as the storm was blowing in the wind played some tricks on a couple fly balls. She did have a nice sliding catch. And came to bat once before the game ended. The girl drilled one into right field & right to our right fielder. Nice contact, the girl has game.
Kudos to our fans and our parents. She got a standing ovation from our fans when she drilled that line drive into right field.
JCOnline news:
