Bailey Back at Bedford: Former Indiana Hoosier star Damon Bailey, a state legend, has returned to where his career started — Bedford North Lawrence High School. Bailey finished as Indiana’s most prolific high school scorer in history at Bedford before attending Indiana for four years. After dazzling the NCAA, the NBA’s Indiana Pacers selected Bailey in the second round of the 1994 draft. But his professional career was less successful, and he has been a staple of the Bedford community for several years now. Bedford’s coach quit weeks before the season opened, so the school turned to a local hero to rescue the team from a potential disaster. The school board must approve Bailey before he officially becomes coach. That vote shouldn’t take long, though.

Former college basketball coach Mike Jarvis is back with a new book, The Seven C's of Leadership.
"Every one of us has leadership within us and this book offers fascinating principals that work in any setting—from the locker room to the executive board room. In The Seven C's of Leadership, Coach Jarvis lays out the essential ingredients of leadership."
-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
"The Seven C's of Leadership is a slam dunk! Coach Jarvis has always been an outstanding leader because he has the ability to decipher what true leadership really means.”
