  • PREP SOFTBALL: John Hardin pulls...

    The Geers got the fourth-seeded John Hardin Lady Bulldogs in gear Monday evening, while Taylor Miller finally put away the fifth-seeded Fort Knox Lady Eagles.

    Katlyn Geer picked up the complete-game win and helped herself by belting her first home run of the season, younger sister Paige Geer also had a solid day at the plate and Miller hit her first homer, too, as John Hardin pulled away for a 14-4 win in five innings in the 17th District Softball Tournament’s lone quarterfinal at Elizabethtown.

  • PREP BASEBALL: John Hardin tops...

    The Fort Knox Eagles were on the verge of breaking their 46-game 17th District losing streak, but the John Hardin Bulldogs stole one from them.

    Literally.

    The fourth-seeded Bulldogs scored two runs on a wild pitch and an error to rally for a 2-1 victory over fifth-seeded Fort Knox in the district tournament quarterfinal Monday evening at Central Hardin High School.

  • PREP BASEBALL: LaRue County...

    HORSECAVE – Monday night’s performance certainly wasn’t a formula LaRue County hopes to follow again in the future, but if it ends with a ‘W,’ like it did for the Hawks in their 18th District Tournament semifinal against Hart County, they certainly won’t be complaining.

  • PREP SOFTBALL: Mullins lifts...

    HORSE CAVE — Sierra Mullins didn’t see if the ball was fair or foul. Aaron Howell didn’t hesitate when waving Trishtian Cruse home.

    In the 18th District Softball Tournament semifinals Monday night at Caverna, it was win or go home.

    Thanks in part to Mullins’ RBI slap double in the bottom of the sixth, the second-seeded LaRue County Lady Hawks are moving on after picking up a 4-2 win over the third-seeded Lady Colonels.

  • PREP BASEBALL: Bruins shooting...

    The Central Hardin Bruins are in a situation they've seen several times the last few years. The Bruins go into the postseason with a huge target on their backs.

    The Bruins went undefeated in the 17th District regular season for a third consecutive year. They have won 35 consecutive games against district teams with their last loss coming to Elizabethtown on April 20, 2010.

  • PREP BASEBALL: Hawks hope to...

    The LaRue County Hawks have put together an impressive string of 18th District championships. They have won 11 consecutive titles, dominating the district like never seen before.

  • PREP BASEBALL: LaRue County...

    When LaRue County senior Cole Hughes is on the mound, he has a tendency to take an analytical approach. His mind is usually spinning. He’s thinking about what pitch a batter hasn’t hit and maybe a pitch he hasn’t seen yet.

    It’s an approach that has served Hughes well during his career and made him one of the most successful pitchers in LaRue County history.

  • PREP BASEBALL: Green Wave want...

    Last season’s historic run in the KHSAA State Baseball Tournament was an eye-opening experience for the Meade County Green Wave.

    Now they have their sights set on an encore performance.

    “I think that opened all our eyes,” Meade County senior Jake Wilson said. “We’ve been saying we can do this and that, but what we accomplished last year made us realize those things are possible.”

  • PREP SOFTBALL: Can anyone derail...

    Like a runaway locomotive, the Central Hardin softball team has been rolling right along on the tracks this season.

    The ninth-ranked Lady Bruins carry a 13-0 record against 5th Region teams entering this week’s 17th District Tournament at Elizabethtown. The Lady Bruins would run their winning streak to 37 over district teams if they were to win their fourth straight district tournament title at 7 Wednesday night.

    How does a team derail the Lady Bruin Express? At least two area coaches said it wouldn’t be easy.

  • PREP SOFTBALL: ‘It’s not going...

    LaRue County’s quest for a third straight 5th Region Softball Tournament berth is as simple as this: Can the Lady Hawks get to Reagan Kingrey for a third and final time tonight?

    Kingrey is the senior pitcher for the third-seeded Caverna Lady Colonels (10-15), who host the second-seeded Lady Hawks (17-19) in the 18th District Tournament semifinals at 7 tonight. Kingrey was in the circle for both of her team’s games against LaRue County this season, a 6-1 Lady Hawk win April 18 in Horse Cave and a 10-1 LaRue County win April 22 in Hodgenville.
