  • PREP TENNIS: Seeds hold true at...

    For many, the first round of the 5th Region Tennis Tournament is all about surviving and advancing.

    Doing so with a clean bill of health is also highly encouraged.

    “I told the guys, ‘If you’re up a bit, don’t go diving for a ball and break your leg,’” said LaRue County boys’ coach Roger Pierce. “’Because if you’re really up, hopefully you’ll get to play Monday.’”

  • PREP BASEBALL-SOFTBALL ROUNDUP:...

    Senior Cannon Pender and junior Preston Patterson combined for two doubles, two singles and seven RBIs as the visiting Elizabethtown Panthers cruised to a 14-1 five-inning victory over 17th District rival Fort Knox on Thursday.

    Elizabethtown (19-6, 6-2 district), which had 13 hits, broke the game open with nine runs in the second inning. Freshman Hunter Sullivan tripled, while sophomores Zeke Pinkham and Cody Bridges each had two singles.

    Senior Garrett Morgan struck out five in four innings to improve to 4-0. He allowed three hits.

  • PREP TENNIS: Region tourney set...

    When John Hardin traveled to Marion County for a match March 25, a highly anticipated singles duel was on the horizon.

    Except it never happened.

    On the way to the meet, John Hardin junior Tyler Edlin expected to square off against Marion County star sophomore Alex Spalding.

    Instead, Spalding played doubles that day and Edlin followed suit, putting the showdown on hold.

    That matchup may be just around the corner.

  • PREP BASEBALL: Central gets bats...

    Central Hardin coach Todd Thompson realizes the high school baseball season is long and it can be a grind at times. Players will struggle batting from time to time. What he doesn’t want is his players stressing or pressing about it.

    That was the message Thompson gave the team after back-to-back losses in last weekend’s Louisville Invitational Tournament. The Bruins weren’t productive at the plate, scoring only five runs and getting 14 hits.

  • PREP SOFTBALL: North Hardin...

    North Hardin star sophomore pitcher Bailey Blair admitted she didn’t have her best stuff Thursday night, while veteran coach Donnie Baker said neither did the rest of the Trojans.

    But for the second straight 17th District game, North Hardin did enough to keep itself in contention for the district’s regular-season title. Overcoming four errors, North Hardin held on for a 5-4 road win over the surprisingly solid Elizabethtown Lady Panthers.

  • PREP TRACK: North's coaches...

    Coming from Meade County, Tyler Breeds thought it was strange when he noticed how many coaches the North Hardin track teams had at their disposal.

    It was a bit of an adjustment for Breeds, who was used to being coached primarily by Larry Garner and Jason Newton. Having nine coaches, he said, was shocking.

    But now in his senior year, Breeds knows why.

  • PREP BASEBALL: Hawks rally past...

    In last week’s win over John Hardin, North Hardin pitcher Javier Echevarria used his home field to his advantage.

    Trying to preserve a shutout, Echevarria uncorked a wild pitch but because of the brick backstop, the ball shot back to catcher Graham Mathews, and Echevarria easily tagged out the Bulldog runner.

    With the bases load, two outs and Echevarria at the plate in the bottom of the seventh on Wednesday evening, the comeback factor worked against the Trojans.

  • PREP SOFTBALL: Sluggish North...

    It certainly wasn’t their best game of the season, but the North Hardin Trojans weren’t complaining afterward.

    The Lady Trojans were outhit 10-6 and made several late errors that let John Hardin cut into their lead.

    By that time, however, visiting North Hardin had built an eight-run advantage thanks to a patient approach at the plate and their ability to capitalize on several Lady Bulldogs errors, so there was no harm done in a 9-4 17th District triumph.
