  • PREP TENNIS: Central Hardin (...

    It’s a situation Hares and Vasu Patel have been in many times.

    After the top-seeded senior cousins dropped their opening set Friday against the third-seeded Elizabethtown junior tandem of Daniel Crain and Faizan Movania in the Lincoln Heritage Conference Tennis Tournament boys’ doubles semifinals Freeman Lake Park, the Patels were prepared.

    That’s because Central Hardin coach Eric Mitchell always draws up scenarios for his top doubles team during practice designed to have them fight back from early deficits.

  • PREP BASEBALL-SOFTBALL ROUNDUP:...

    John Hardin snapped a six-game losing skid Thursday by sweeping 17th District rival Fort Knox in a doubleheader.

    The Bulldogs (9-13) won Game 1, 5-2 and Game 2, 21-0 in five innings.

    * Junior Dale Gumm (2-4) struck out 17 and gave up just one hit as John Hardin won Game 1.

    Junior Lavonte Wilson tripled and singled.

    * In Game 2, Gumm had three doubles and three RBIs, while senior Montaque Pittman doubled, singled and drove in three runs. Sophomore Dakoda Rothermel had a double and two singles, while senior Zach Miller drove in three runs.

  • PREP SOFTBALL: Central Hardin...

    When scouting 17th District rival Central Hardin earlier this season, one thing stood out to first-year John Hardin coach Deron Bell. If faced with off-speed pitches, Bell noticed the Lady Bruins weren’t as patient at the plate. Throw them faster pitches, and it could be disastrous.

    Bell and his Lady Bulldogs found that out Thursday. For the first two innings, John Hardin senior Katlyn Geer had the 21st-ranked Lady Bruins swinging at everything and producing routine plays for her defense.

  • PREP TENNIS: John Hardin pulls...

    In most situations, receiving a first-round bye is an advantage.

    John Hardin’s doubles team of senior Jared Anderson and freshman Carson McCann turned their first-round match of the Lincoln Heritage Conference Tournament into their own advantage.

    With strong winds having a significant impact on the play at Freeman Lake, Anderson and McCann used their opening-round victory over Fort Knox to get their bearings in the difficult conditions.

  • PREP SOFTBALL: North Hardin...

    Cady Wilson was in and out of the lineup last season as a freshman second baseman for the North Hardin Trojans. When she hit, she played. When she didn’t, she stayed in the dugout.

    It’s going to be hard for veteran coach Donnie Baker to yank his sophomore leadoff hitter out of the lineup any time soon.

    Wilson reached base in 3-of-4 plate appearances and scored twice, plus drove in two runs in the Trojans’ huge second inning as North Hardin cruised to a 17th District victory Thursday over the visiting Elizabethtown Lady Panthers, 8-1.

  • PREP BASEBALL: Central Hardin...

    Central Hardin assistant coach Scott Squires tracks what the coaching staff calls productive outs. Squires must have been busy Thursday evening, because the Bruins had plenty of them.

    After Central Hardin’s 10-1 victory Tuesday night, Coach Todd Thompson said the team needed to change its approach at the plate to be more productive.

    The message was received loud and clear.

  • PREP BASEBALL ROUNDUP: E'...

    Sophomore Zeke Pinkham hit a two-run homer in a five-run fourth inning, helping lead the Elizabethtown Panthers to an 8-2 win over visiting 5th Region rival Washington County on Wednesday.

    Pinkham also singled and scored twice for Elizabethtown (11-4), which won its third straight. Sophomore Cody Bridges doubled and singled, while senior Cannon Pender tripled and singled. Freshman Hunter Sullivan hit two singles and drove in two runs.

    Pender (4-2) struck out six and scattered three hits, two unearned runs and one walk in seven innings.

    Blair (7-10) struck out four and gave up three hits and one run as North Hardin won for the fourth time in five games.
