  • PREP BASEBALL: Green Wave want to build off last year's success (05/20)

    Last season’s historic run in the KHSAA State Baseball Tournament was an eye-opening experience for the Meade County Green Wave.

    Now they have their sights set on an encore performance.

    “I think that opened all our eyes,” Meade County senior Jake Wilson said. “We’ve been saying we can do this and that, but what we accomplished last year made us realize those things are possible.”

  • PREP BASEBALL: Hawks hope to continue streaks (05/20)

    The LaRue County Hawks have put together an impressive string of 18th District championships. They have won 11 consecutive titles, dominating the district like never seen before.

  • PREP BASEBALL: Bruins shooting for fifth straight title (05/20)

    The Central Hardin Bruins are in a situation they've seen several times the last few years. The Bruins go into the postseason with a huge target on their backs.

    The Bruins went undefeated in the 17th District regular season for a third consecutive year. They have won 35 consecutive games against district teams with their last loss coming to Elizabethtown on April 20, 2010.

  • PREP SOFTBALL: Can anyone derail Central Hardin in the 17th? (05/20)

    Like a runaway locomotive, the Central Hardin softball team has been rolling right along on the tracks this season.

    The ninth-ranked Lady Bruins carry a 13-0 record against 5th Region teams entering this week’s 17th District Tournament at Elizabethtown. The Lady Bruins would run their winning streak to 37 over district teams if they were to win their fourth straight district tournament title at 7 Wednesday night.

    How does a team derail the Lady Bruin Express? At least two area coaches said it wouldn’t be easy.

  • PREP SOFTBALL: Already in region, Meade County still not looking ahead (05/20)

    Over the next two weeks, the Meade County Lady Waves are going to know the easiest route to Hancock County better than even the most sophisticated GPS.

    That’s because Meade County is already guaranteed a spot in next week’s 3rd Region Softball Tournament at Hancock County – which is also coincidentally the site of this week’s three-team 11th District Tournament.

  • PREP SOFTBALL: ‘It’s not going to be easy’ for LaRue County (05/20)

    LaRue County’s quest for a third straight 5th Region Softball Tournament berth is as simple as this: Can the Lady Hawks get to Reagan Kingrey for a third and final time tonight?

    Kingrey is the senior pitcher for the third-seeded Caverna Lady Colonels (10-15), who host the second-seeded Lady Hawks (17-19) in the 18th District Tournament semifinals at 7 tonight. Kingrey was in the circle for both of her team’s games against LaRue County this season, a 6-1 Lady Hawk win April 18 in Horse Cave and a 10-1 LaRue County win April 22 in Hodgenville.

  • Hail covers areas in LaRue County

    The ground in some areas in LaRue County was white from the amount of hail that fell Sunday afternoon, said Troy Williams with the LaRue County Sheriff’s Department.

    At times, the hail reached golf-ball size, Williams said. The county hadn’t sustained any damage as of early Sunday evening, he said.

  • PREP BASEBALL: South Warren's Pitts gets the best of Elizabethtown's Pitts (05/19)

    Elizabethtown coach Don Pitts doesn’t like to lose, but he could find a little solace in Friday night’s 6-1 setback to the South Warren Raiders at Panther Baseball Park’s Ron Myers Field.

    His cousin, South Warren junior Ty Pitts, picked up the win, working 1 2/3 innings in relief, and he went 1-for-3 with a triple and a run scored.

    “If I’m going to get beat by somebody, who better to get beat by than family,” Pitts said. “Those Pitts are a tough bunch.”

  • PREP BASEBALL ROUNDUP: North Hardin crushes Nelson County (05/19)

    NORTH HARDIN10, NELSON COUNTY 0. The Trojans scored three times in each of the first two innings on its way to a five-inning triumph over the visiting Cardinals.

    Each of the first four hitters in North Hardin’s lineup – senior Jamaal Wilson, senior Jordan Sanchez, sophomore Javier Echevarria and junior Graham Mathews – had two hits and scored at least once. Sanchez had a pair of doubles.

    Sophomore Lance Baker got the win, throwing all five innings and giving up just two hits.
