  • PREP SOFTBALL: Central Hardin...

    April Pence and Amber Hiller are in the same year in grade, but the Central Hardin juniors are worlds apart when it comes to on-field playing time. Pence has been a standout pitcher since middle school, while Hiller began the season on the bench before earning a starting role in left field.

    Despite their huge disparity in experience, both players were able to come through in the clutch in Wednesday night’s rain-delayed 17th District Softball Tournament championship at Elizabethtown.

  • PREP BASEBALL: Central blanks...

    The Golden Rule says do unto others as you would have them do unto you, so the Central Hardin Bruins did exactly to North Hardin what the Trojans did to Elizabethtown the night before.

    The Bruins jumped out to a five-run lead in the first inning and cruised to an 8-0 victory over the Trojans for their fifth consecutive 17th District Baseball Tournament championship Wednesday evening at Central Park.

  • PREP BASEBALL: Milby, Dragons...

    HORSE CAVE— With a matchup looming against the pitcher who struck them out 18 times earlier this season, the LaRue County Hawks were primed for another chance.

    They got the opportunity they’ve been waiting for against Green County ace Brennen Milby, but they may have been a little too excited.

  • PREP SOFTBALL: Lady Hawks wait...

    Another day turned into yet another rain delay for the 18th District Softball Tournament.

    The championship game, which was originally scheduled for Tuesday night at Caverna, was pushed back again – this time to a 1 p.m. start today between top-seeded Green County and second-seeded LaRue County – after heavy rain and storms moved through the region Wednesday afternoon.

    Lady Hawks coach Aaron Howell is plenty tired of Mother Nature intervening.

  • PREP BASEBALL: North stuns E...

    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.

  • PREP BASEBALL: Central Hardin...

    Central Hardin senior catcher Gabe Hogan knows junior pitcher Josh Krupinski likes to work fast and he found a groove early against the John Hardin Bulldogs on Tuesday.

    Once the Central Hardin bats started to get cranked up, the Bruins made fast work of the Bulldogs.

    The combination of Krupinski and an opportunistic offense added up to a 10-0 Central Hardin victory in five innings in the 17th District Baseball Tournament semifinals at Central Park.

  • PREP SOFTBALL: Central Hardin...

    With what could be a long and memorable postseason ahead of it, Central Hardin is being careful not to get too far ahead of itself.

    “One game at a time,” said Central Hardin junior Jessica Nall.

    Central Hardin’s playoff opener went just as planned as the No. 9 Lady Bruins scored in every inning and beat John Hardin, 15-0 in four innings in the 17th District Softball Tournament semifinals at Elizabethtown on Tuesday.

  • PREP SOFTBALL: North Hardin...

    Bailey Blair’s mind felt like a blender entering Tuesday night’s 17th District Softball Tournament late semifinal at Elizabethtown.

    North Hardin’s standout sophomore pitcher was dealing with a slump, facing the team (the Elizabethtown Lady Panthers) which ended her season last year in a game she blamed herself for and she was taking the circle for the first time since learning about the death of her longtime pitching coach, Vernon Bibb, who passed away Friday after a lengthy illness.

  • PREP BASEBALL/SOFTBALL: LaRue,...

    Mother Nature wins again.

    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.

    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.”
