  • 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.

  • PREP TRACK: North Hardin sweeps...

    BARDSTOWN — North Hardin’s reigns atop the 11-school Lincoln Trail Heartland Conference didn’t even come close to ending Tuesday night.

    The Trojans and Lady Trojans racked win after win, proving why they’re considered the best in the state in Class 3-A – and hoping to sweep the state titles in a few weeks at the University of Louisville.

    If both teams perform the way they did during the conference meet at Nelson County’s Cardinal Stadium, that could become a reality.

  • PREP SOFTBALL: Central Hardin...

    Central Hardin junior pitcher Jessica Nall donned some shades to block out the sun invading her circle Tuesday evening on the road against the Elizabethtown Lady Panthers.

    Meanwhile, her hot-hitting and free-swinging Lady Bruin teammates blocked out any chance of a massive upset with another – yet increasingly more routine – offensive barrage.

    Taking advantage of 14 hits, 10 walks and 10 stolen bases, Nall and the Lady Bruins achieved a program milestone in their 16-1 win in five innings against their 17th District rival.
