  • PREP SOFTBALL/BASEBALL: Lady Waves win district title (05/22)

    The Meade County Lady Waves are the queens of the 11th District yet again.

    Top-seeded Meade County won its third straight district tournament title Tuesday night, topping second-seeded Breckinridge County, 8-0 in Lewisport.

    “The girls played really well,” said veteran Meade County coach Mike Harreld. “It was just a great, total team effort. Breck County is a much-improved team. I thought we looked pretty sharp. I still feel like we’ve got to get some bunts down and hit a little bit better, but overall we looked pretty good.”

    The 18th District baseball and softball tournament championship games between LaRue County and Green County were rained out Tuesday and rescheduled for 6 tonight at Caverna – that is, if Mother Nature allows it.

    More rain and thunderstorms are in the forecast for today, meaning both games could get pushed back to Thursday. Because LaRue County and Green County have graduation Friday night, Lady Hawks coach Aaron Howell hopes Plan ‘A’ works out.

  • PREP BASEBALL: North stuns E'town (5/22)

    The North Hardin Trojans have waited six years to get back to the 5th Region Baseball Tournament, so a 35-minute lightning delay Tuesday night was merely a speed bump for them.

    With North Hardin leading 5-0 in the bottom of the sixth, the teams were pulled off the field.

    The break didn’t bother sophomore Javier Echevarria as he returned to the mound and shut the door on any comeback hopes Elizabethtown might have had, knocking the Panthers out of the 17th District Baseball Tournament with a 5-1 win at Central Park.
