  • PREP TENNIS: Sore arm, silver...

    From his days playing tee-ball all the way through seventh grade, Tad Skaggs’ favorite sport was always baseball.

    Those feelings resurface every time he watches the Central Hardin baseball team play or catches a game on television.

    But ever since an arm injury forced him to quit playing, the senior has been pounding the ball in a different way.

    Instead of possibly playing on the state’s top-ranked baseball team at Central Hardin, Skaggs has forged a different path, and a successful one at that.

  • PREP SOFTBALL: Meade's win...

    From the outset, Bailey Blair and North Hardin made it very clear they weren’t going to let Meade County junior Ashley Nikolao and freshman Rachel Ayer beat them Tuesday.

    Since Nikolao went 3-for-3 with three extra-base hits and Ayer hit a home run when the teams met March 29, Blair issued a combined six intentional walks to the No. 3 and No. 5 hitters in Meade County’s lineup.

    For the Lady Waves, that was just fine.

  • PREP BASEBALL: Meade tops...

    The Meade County Green Wave did what many teams haven’t been able to do this season against Central Hardin senior Drew Harrington: score.

    Although they only had three hits, the Green Wave took advantage of two errors in the top of the eighth inning to upset the top-ranked Bruins, 3-1 on Tuesday at Central Park.

    “I talked to them early on that we were going to have bad at-bats,” Meade County coach Todd Clanton said. “But we can’t get down. We have to keep grinding it at the plate and good things will happen.”

  • PREP COACHING ROUNDUP: Garrison...

    One Hardin County Schools high school recently filled a varsity coaching position for this coming fall season, while another finds itself in a hurry to fill another open position.

    North Hardin announced Tony Garrison as its girls’ soccer coach, while Brian Walters is no longer John Hardin’s volleyball coach.

    Garrison follows Hayley Yourous, who stepped down after a 55-85-15 mark in eight seasons. North Hardin was 9-8-1 this past season, losing 8-0 to Elizabethtown in the 17th District Tournament semifinals.

  • PREP BASEBALL: Meade County...

    The Meade County Green Wave earned a chance to defend their 3rd Region Tournament title Monday night with a doubleheader sweep at 11th District rival Hancock County.

    The Green Wave won Game 1, 11-2, and Game 2, 6-1, to earn the No. 1 seed in the district tournament. Since Meade County is in a three-team district, the top seed means a bye into the district final – and 1-of-2 berths in the region tournament.

  • PREP SOFTBALL ROUNDUP: Central...

    A walkoff squeeze play by a prolific power hitter kept the ninth-ranked Central Hardin Lady Bruins from being upset Monday night by Marion County.

    Senior Baylee Sullivan doubled to leadoff of the bottom of the seventh and took third on a fielder’s choice on a ball hit by senior Jackie Holbert before scoring on a bunt by Jordan Lasley as Central Hardin earned a 2-1 win over reigning 5th Region Tournament runner-up Lady Knights (19-9).

  • Bluegrass Middle School...

    Bluegrass Middle School cheerleading coach Stephanie Phillips kept telling her squad it would compete in more competition. But she had no idea that it would all end with the Colts being ranked No. 1.

    After competitions in Louisville and Bowling Green, Phillips told the squad it would do one more event before calling it a season. But the Colts finished first and were named grand champions at the Cheer Elite Bluegrass Classic National Championship in early March at Lexington Christian Academy, where they earned a bid to the U.S. Finals.

  • PREP TENNIS: E'town beats...

    If there’s one thing the Elizabethtown girls’ tennis team can take away from State Team Sectionals on Saturday, it’s that they’ll be well-prepped for what’s to come this week.

    The Lady Panthers split a pair of matches in an up-and-down day against hard-hitting South Oldham and Louisville Sacred Heart in their final tune-up before the state tournament begins Thursday in Lexington.
