Sports briefs: East students to get in free to athletic events

The Columbus East athletics department announced earlier this week that all students will have free admission to all of its home athletic events for the 2024-25 school year, except for IHSAA-sanctioned postseason events.

The athletics department said that was made possible by anonymous longtime East supporters.

Earlier this summer, Columbus North announced that students would get in free to its home sporting events.

Former Columbus North football player Tyrrice DeGraffenried recently committed to continue his football career at Trine.

DeGraffenried recorded 38 tackles and returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown as a senior last year for the Bull Dogs.
