  • COLLEGE BASKETBALL: Towne Mall...

    After standing in line for more than an hour Sunday afternoon to meet Louisville senior point guard Peyton Siva during his autograph signing at Towne Mall, Elizabethtown High School sophomore Reauna Cleaver – a center on the school’s girls’ basketball team – was a bit disappointed in herself.

    She admitted instead of just smiling in the duo’s posed photo, she should have kissed him.

  • PREP SOFTBALL ROUNDUP:...

    It was a tough Saturday for the Elizabethtown Lady Panthers, who dropped a pair of one-run games to 5th Region rivals Taylor County and Nelson County.

    Taylor County scored twice in the bottom of the eighth to rally for a 9-8 win, while Nelson County scored one in the seventh for a 5-4 victory.

    * After Elizabethtown (6-7) took an 8-7 lead in the top of the eighth, Taylor County junior Becca Orberson hit a walk-off two-run double for the win.

    The Lady Panthers led 3-0 and 6-2. Taylor County tied it with a three-run sixth inning.

  • PREP BASEBALL ROUNDUP: Central...

    Just after picking up their biggest win of the season over the state’s top-ranked team, the third-ranked Central Hardin Bruins suffered a heartbreaking loss Saturday in the Russell County Round Robin.

    No. 13 Russell County scored on a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the eighth to knock off Central Hardin, 2-1.

    “It’s a pretty tough loss,” Central Hardin coach Todd Thompson said. “We had a few missed opportunities earlier in the game, and that shouldn’t have happened.”

    Eric Avant and the John Hardin Bulldogs are starting to find their stride.

    So are Inna Bezhenar and the Lady Bulldogs.

    Led by the senior duo of Avant and Bezhenar, John Hardin swept the team titles at Saturday’s Central Hardin Invitational. The Bulldogs won by 23 points over Elizabethtown, 147-124, while the Lady Bulldogs topped the Lady Panthers by seven, 159-152.

  • PREP BASEBALL: Elizabethtown...

    Elizabethtown broke out of its funk in a big way Saturday afternoon.

    The Panthers pounded out 19 hits en route to a 13-5 victory over the homestanding John Hardin Bulldogs in a 17th District game to snap a three-game losing skid.

    “It turns our attention to a win,” said Elizabethtown senior Cannon Pender, who went 4-for-5 with three runs scored. “We’ve had some tough losses this week, but we played a lot better today. It was big to get a win in general to turn things around.”

  • PREP TRACK: E'town, Central...

    In all sports, rivalries are essential. No matter the level of play, rivalries spice things up.

    Major League Baseball has Yankees-Red Sox and Cubs-Cardinals. In the National Football League, Cowboys-Redskins historically has been an intense rivalry. And in college sports, especially basketball, you can’t go wrong with North Carolina-Duke or Kentucky-Louisville.

    On the local level, rivalries exist between Elizabethtown and Central Hardin, North Hardin and John Hardin and LaRue County and Elizabethtown.
