Heading into the postseason, LaRue County coach Aaron Howell liked what he saw from his Lady Hawks on Thursday.

They pounded out 20 hits, scored 13 runs and backed junior pitcher Brigitte Skaggs with solid defense to roll to a 13-2 win over homestanding 5th Region rival Elizabethtown.

Postal workers delivered more than mail last week.

They brought area families in need the chance to eat and a local charity a way to save money while providing services.

Stamp Out Hunger brought in 7,223 pounds of food in Elizabethtown and about 8,700 pounds from Radcliff. The Vine Grove and Fort Knox post offices also collected food.

That amount was about the same as last year’s collection for Radcliff and 183 pounds less than last year for Elizabethtown.

LEXINGTON — When she finally got to take the court for the first time Thursday during the opening day of the KHSAA State Tennis Tournament at the University of Kentucky, Elizabethtown senior doubles player Mary-Chapin Snow had time to almost finish a 272-page book.

Maybe that book — Gillian Flynn’s Sharp Objects, which Snow actually called a quick read — seemed long, but then again, so was her wait.

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.
