Meade County senior Jake Wilson grew up knowing what he wanted to do after high school. He wanted to play Division I baseball.

Wilson fulfilled a lifelong dream Wednesday afternoon as he signed a national letter of intent to play next season at Eastern Kentucky. Although he was the starting quarterback for football, the 6-foot-3, 215-pound Wilson had his sights set on baseball the entire time.

With just a casual glance at Jared Anderson and Carson McCann, they seem to be an unusual fit as doubles partners.

Anderson is a senior, stands 6-foot-4 and rocks neatly kept, short hair.

McCann, in contrast, is a freshman and though he says he is 6-foot, appears much shorter when standing next to Anderson. And the most distinguishable part of McCann is his long, flowing hair that nearly reaches his shoulders.

If you have to put a label on the John Hardin tandem, an appropriate nickname would be Hardin County’s “Odd Couple.”

Sophomore Lance Baker just had one hit Wednesday night, but it was a big one for the North Hardin Trojans.

Baker’s bases-loaded, three-run double lifted the homestanding Trojans to a 5-4 win over Breckinridge County. Baker drove in junior Sy Ogden, sophomore Blake Yates and freshman Gardy Sanchez.

Junior Graham Mathews went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI for the Trojans (16-14), who trailed 4-1 entering the bottom of the sixth.

Carol Rogers can eat about half of a double buck burger, a staple of Sonora’s Bucksnort Café.

The burger includes two oversized beef patties totaling nearly a pound of meat, multiple types of cheese, bacon and other additions, she said.

“You name it, it’s on there,” she said. “It’s about six inches tall. It’s a big one.”

Participants in a burger eating competition Friday at the Sonora Veterans Memorial Park can tackle the monster burgers while promoting the park.
