    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.

    The South Warren Lady Spartans upended the Elizabethtown Lady Panthers, the reigning girls’ team champion, 154-130.

    However, thanks to some solid throwing from senior Dalton Swank and some great leaping from senior one-year wonder Chas Jones, the Elizabethtown boys were able to defend their team title.

    Wednesday night’s showdown for the 17th District Softball Tournament No. 1 seed wasn’t much of one.
