  • PREP SOFTBALL: Already in region...

    Over the next two weeks, the Meade County Lady Waves are going to know the easiest route to Hancock County better than even the most sophisticated GPS.

    That’s because Meade County is already guaranteed a spot in next week’s 3rd Region Softball Tournament at Hancock County – which is also coincidentally the site of this week’s three-team 11th District Tournament.

  • PREP SOFTBALL: ‘It’s not going...

    LaRue County’s quest for a third straight 5th Region Softball Tournament berth is as simple as this: Can the Lady Hawks get to Reagan Kingrey for a third and final time tonight?

    Kingrey is the senior pitcher for the third-seeded Caverna Lady Colonels (10-15), who host the second-seeded Lady Hawks (17-19) in the 18th District Tournament semifinals at 7 tonight. Kingrey was in the circle for both of her team’s games against LaRue County this season, a 6-1 Lady Hawk win April 18 in Horse Cave and a 10-1 LaRue County win April 22 in Hodgenville.

  • PREP BASEBALL: South Warren...

    Elizabethtown coach Don Pitts doesn’t like to lose, but he could find a little solace in Friday night’s 6-1 setback to the South Warren Raiders at Panther Baseball Park’s Ron Myers Field.

    His cousin, South Warren junior Ty Pitts, picked up the win, working 1 2/3 innings in relief, and he went 1-for-3 with a triple and a run scored.

    “If I’m going to get beat by somebody, who better to get beat by than family,” Pitts said. “Those Pitts are a tough bunch.”

    NORTH HARDIN10, NELSON COUNTY 0. The Trojans scored three times in each of the first two innings on its way to a five-inning triumph over the visiting Cardinals.

    Each of the first four hitters in North Hardin’s lineup – senior Jamaal Wilson, senior Jordan Sanchez, sophomore Javier Echevarria and junior Graham Mathews – had two hits and scored at least once. Sanchez had a pair of doubles.

    Sophomore Lance Baker got the win, throwing all five innings and giving up just two hits.

    Pence earned her 11th victory by striking out one and walking just one, giving the Lady Bruins their second victory over the Lady Cardinals (27-9) in the last nine days.

  • PREP TRACK: Elizabethtown's...

    LOUISVILLE — Having grown used to watching James Washington come from behind to win a few times before, Jeff McNeil wasn’t surprised when the Elizabethtown junior did it again during Friday night’s Class 2-A KHSAA State Track & Field Championships.

    Heading into the last two hurdles in the 110-meter race, Washington was just behind Shelby County senior Michael Barry. But like he has before, Washington found a little something extra to guide him to the gold medal at the University of Louisville’s Owsley Frazier Cardinal Park.

  • PREP TRACK: North Hardin sweeps...

    LOUISVILLE— It was the sweetest victory lap Coach James Webb has experienced. And one of the coldest after he was drenched with a cooler of water.

    But it was worth it after watching North Hardin become the first school to sweep the Class 3-A state meet in 31 years. Lexington Bryan Station was the last school to do it in 1982.

  • PREP GIRLS' TENNIS:...

    LEXINGTON— As Mackenzie Snow raised her racket for a slam, she took her eye off of the ball for a split second and missed it as a look of surprise crept over her face.

    Mary-Chapin Snow, however, had her back.

    The older sister circled back around to the ball and sent a return to the middle of the court to Covington Notre Dame’s Laura Irons.

    After Irons returned it, Mackenzie Snow made a nice play at the net for a winner.

  • GIRLS' PREP TENNIS: More...

    LEXINGTON — When she finally got to take the court for the first time Thursday during the opening day of the KHSAA State Tennis Tournament at the University of Kentucky, Elizabethtown senior doubles player Mary-Chapin Snow had time to almost finish a 272-page book.

    Maybe that book — Gillian Flynn’s Sharp Objects, which Snow actually called a quick read — seemed long, but then again, so was her wait.

  • PREP TRACK: Meers, Johnson hope...

    Dante Johnson and Bryce Meers want to help North Hardin make history by becoming the first school to win both the boys’ and girls’ team titles at the KHSAA State Track & Field Championships.

    And if all goes according to plan for the dynamic duo, they’ll get the day started off with a bang in Saturday’s Class 3-A state meet at the University of Louisville’s Owsley Frazier Cardinal Park.
