Sailing Lake George Lasers end season LAKE GEORGE — The Laser fleet enjoyed highly competitive racing for its final racing session of the summer season with eight skippers participating. Two races were held to make up for the past two Sundays when the wind was too light for racing. The first race was a two-lap triangular course set up by race chair Jack Stiefel. Nancy Stiefel took the early lead in 5 to 8 mph southwest wind. During the second lap, she lost control of the boat at the second windward mark and nearly capsized. Four boats passed her and she never caught up. Steve Kindler had a rudder problem but was able to fix it on the course and finish sixth. Jack Stiefel won the race and ended up winning the season championship. Jeff Smith narrowly edged out Kirsten Meyer for second place. The second race was one triangle plus two up-and-back legs. Nancy Stiefel again took the early lead and maintained it to the end. This win helped her move up one position in the season’s final standings. Smith and Meyer again had a very close finish, with Smith pulling ahead at the finish line by inches. The third annual Lake George Laser Regatta will cap the season on Sept. 7. Sailors will gather at The Retreat in the evening after racing in the afternoon for the awarding of trophies for both the summer season and the regatta. Jack Stiefel is coordinating the regatta and plans to run up to six short races starting at 1 p.m. The entry fee is $15. For more information, call Stiefel at 833-9896.

COLTS: Indy may play it safe against Bengals FROM PAGE B1
Offensive lineman Hugh Thornton sprained his right ankle in rookie mini-camp and fourth-round pick Khaled Holmes sustained the same injury four days into training camp. Tight end Dwayne Allen (right foot) missed the last two games and Fleener has already had to contend with a concussion and a right knee injury. Right guard Mike McGlynn also missed the Cleveland game after bruising his knee in practice last week, and left tackle Anthony Castonzo departed Saturday’s game on the opening series with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee. Five players, including free-agent signee Lawrence Sidbury (shoulder), have already been put on injured reserve and are gone for the season. But somehow, the Colts have minimized their losses. “They’re working their butts off to get back,” Luck said of Allen and Fleener. “I’m sure we’ll see them soon.”
The Colts, coming off an 11-5 season and a nine-game improvement over 2011, have looked good at full strength. Angerer, Landry and linebacker Jerrell Freeman all played against Cleveland, marking the first time Indy’s starting defense was on the field all preseason. The starting defense allowed only four first downs, 104 total yards and pitched a shutout against the Browns for nearly 2½ quarters. “I’ve been good for a while, it’s just a matter of being smart,” Angerer said. “We definitely have the right guys. Our defensive line is playing tremendous and the guys behind us (the secondary) are great, but we’re definitely not all there yet.” Neither is the offense, which has been piecing things together for the last month. Luck played most of Saturday’s game without two of his starting linemen, and with Justice Cunningham and Dominique Jones as the only tight ends on a roster that was expected to use
more double-tight end formations. But it looks as if all the missing players could be back for the opener. Allen returned to practice last week. McGlynn was walking around the locker room just fine Monday, a good sign for a player trying to fend off a challenge for his starting job. Bradshaw is expected to be full go when the season starts, and Fleener and Holmes are practicing again. Even Castonzo sounds optimistic. “It was very good news to hear, that it was kind of a minor thing and it should not cut into the season,” he said Monday. “We’re kind of taking day by day, but the goal is to be ready for Oakland.” The only real question this week is whether the Colts will play it safe against Cincinnati. Coach Chuck Pagano was to meet with his coaching staff later Monday to make that decision. One thing is clear, though. “We’ll be smart,” he said. “I’ll let you know at a later date.”
EAST NOBLE: Tournament at PH up next FROM PAGE B1
Kavan Edwards added a block to putting them ahead 22-15 and from there, they didn’t look back as they took the third set 25-15. As the fourth set began, North Side came out swinging with an early 6-2 lead. Once again, the Knights would not go away as they tied it up 9-9 after a Kourtney Edwards block. The Redskins answered back tying it up at 13 and retook the lead, however briefly. After a change of possession, East Noble’s Sydney Rodenbeck gave the Knights a slim 20-19 lead. Following a time out, Kourtney Edwards put the dagger in the Redskins heart, ending the game with a kill as the final set ended with a

score of 25-20. Ramey was pleased overall with her team’s
outing, in particular, freshman Payton Hart. “She’s going to do well as long as we can keep her injury free. Tonight was the first time we saw her a little bit on the flustered side,” said Ramey, “she doesn’t look like she’s lacking experience at all.” The Knights are now riding a three game winning streak and look to ride this wave of momentum into the Prairie Heights Tournament this weekend. “We’re concentrating on one match at a time,” she said, “Garrett has been playing strong so hopefully we can keep focused and win Thursday going into Saturday because that will be a big momentum (boost) going into the weekend.”

under bogey golf for 18 holes (Dornte and Kelly) is a huge confidence booster,” Sanborn said. “I see the team setting their sights on the home stretch. They are having fun and playing some good golf.” Monday’s results Carroll 167, East Noble 159 Carroll: Sarah Bannister 37, Kierstin Murphy 37, Ali Richard 45, Emily McDermit 48, Kyra Salter 53.
