The Harrison County Fillies traveled to Boyd County, last Friday to participate in the Tri-State Showdown held on several fields in the Boyd County vicinity.  
The Fillies were plagued by errors and injury as pitcher Jima Hill was hampered by a back injury and the Fillies committed 15 errors in the three contests.  

It is good to be home

Vacation is nice but being home is always better even though our weather makes it less appealing.  
I thought that I was entered in a NASCAR race coming home from Florida including some big backups in which I assumed that someone was black flagged.  As you know if you travel I-75 the speed limit appears to be a suggestion and not one that is taken seriously.  
I did see a couple of vehicles trading paint as they say but other than that the 900-mile race home in one day was uneventful.

One of the Fillies wins was on a technicality but a fine performance nevertheless.  
On Wednesday the Bracken County team visited the Hilltop and was swept by both the Breds and Fillies.

Harrison County scored twice in the second on a single by Chris O’Neal and a home run by Andrew Day.  

“We All Scream for Ice Cream”

Let me tell you something I enjoyed about the NCAA Basketball tournament besides the games, the commercials. I especially enjoyed the Capital One commercial featuring Samuel L. Jackson, Spike Lee and Charles Barkley.
In a 30-second commercial those three are sitting in a car together headed to the tournament site, San Antonio. Charles says he is excited to be able to visit the “A La Mode”. Jackson corrects him by saying, “Charles, it is Alamo.”

Coach Kevin Gaunce saw a match that was dominated by his team Tuesday night in Versailles, but the Harrison County Middle School Fillies lost 2-1.  Woodford County had only four shots on goal in the first half but went into the break with a 2-0 advantage.  
The second half was more of the same.  The home squad did not have a single shot on goal but held off the determined Fillies for the 2-1 victory.
