A recent letter writer is “still waiting for Mr. Obama to begin working with Republicans, and stop forcing his agenda on this once great country.”

NFL: Deaderick claimed by...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.– Brandon Deaderick wasn’t out of job long. And now he gets to play in a far warmer climate.

One day after being cut by the New England Patriots, the former Elizabethtown High School and University of Alabama star defensive lineman was claimed off the waiver wire Tuesday by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

To make room for the 6-foot-4, 305-pound Deaderick, the Jaguars waived rookie receiver Cole McKenzie on Tuesday.

PREP BASEBALL ROUNDUP: Trojans...

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.

PREP TENNIS: E'town beats...

If there’s one thing the Elizabethtown girls’ tennis team can take away from State Team Sectionals on Saturday, it’s that they’ll be well-prepped for what’s to come this week.

The Lady Panthers split a pair of matches in an up-and-down day against hard-hitting South Oldham and Louisville Sacred Heart in their final tune-up before the state tournament begins Thursday in Lexington.

PREP TRACK: Royal, Jones...

Prior to the season, Bill Larrington was worried the Elizabethtown Panthers wouldn’t have anyone competing in the boys’ high jump. That would mean giving up critical points throughout the season.

Having coached the high jump for several years, this was an unusual predicament for Larrington. But after years of pestering and prodding, Larrington finally convinced senior Chas Jones to join the team, and a few months later, found a diamond in the rough shooting hoops inside Charlie Rawlings Memorial Gymnasium during spring break.

Bluegrass Middle School...

Bluegrass Middle School cheerleading coach Stephanie Phillips kept telling her squad it would compete in more competition. But she had no idea that it would all end with the Colts being ranked No. 1.

After competitions in Louisville and Bowling Green, Phillips told the squad it would do one more event before calling it a season. But the Colts finished first and were named grand champions at the Cheer Elite Bluegrass Classic National Championship in early March at Lexington Christian Academy, where they earned a bid to the U.S. Finals.

GIRLS" PREP TENNIS OPINION...

There are certain ways to tell spring has finally arrived. The weather starts to get warmer, although it seemed like that wasn’t going to happen this year. The flowers start to bloom, and in turn, anyone with allergies like me begins to have problems. The trees and grass begin to turn green once again.

Possibly the biggest sign spring is in full bloom in our area is the Elizabethtown girls’ tennis team wins another 5th Region championship. It seems like a rite of passage every spring.
