  • Thorobred wrestlers finish...

    In a dual meet dominated by the powerful northern Kentucky schools, the Harrison County High School wrestling team finished second in a six-team meet. The meet was well run, taking four and one half hours to complete with each team wrestling the others.  
    Ryle High School was the overall winner followed by the Thorobreds.  
    The Breds were hampered all day with forfeits in three weight classes due to an illness, a wrestler competing in the middle school state meet and in the 140 lb class just no one to wrestle.

  • Middle school basketball wrap up

    The Harrison County Middle School seventh and eighth grade boys’ basketball played three games each the first three days of February.  
    This number of games resulted from weather problems, which have hindered efforts to get these games played.  
    Each of the teams won two of the three games that they played.
    The seventh graders open the week with a 39-31 loss to the Scott County Middle Cardinals. In this game, the Colts jumped out to an early lead, but turnovers allowed the Cardinals to come back and take a 19-13 halftime lead.

  • Football is over and baseball is...

    When the Super Bowl ended Sunday night, it marked the football season’s end and the beginning of baseball.
    Here in Cynthiana we have already had the Reds’ Caravan at Angilo’s, sponsored by the Red’s affiliate WCYN, and the Lexington Legend’s visit to Biancke’s last Thursday also in cooperation with the radio station.  
    Both of the visits and the end of football indicates that it is time to oil the glove and the batting gloves, polish the cleats and get ready for baseball.

  • Fillies lose at Clark County...

    Monday night the Harrison County Fillies met probably the best team in the 10th Region and came away with a 60-41 loss against the powerhouse Clark County Lady Cards.  
    The game was tied early at two, but the Lady Cards scored the next 16 straight and took a 20-3 first quarter lead.  
    The Fillies continued to battle, but the home standing Lady Cards were just too powerful and deep at every position.

  • Pre-game ceremonies: The great,...

    In the past week I have witnessed the best pre-game ceremony ever, a touching and very appropriate one and one that I would describe as pitiful, disrespectful and just plain uncalled for.
    Being a little under the weather on Saturday, I stayed home, in the house all day except for going out to pick up the paper on the driveway.  
    If there would have been someone to do that I wouldn’t have done that either. I do not get sick often and therefore do not operate well when I do.

  • Fillies, Breds lose at Pendleton...

    It was all Pendleton County Friday night as they retired a jersey, honored a teacher/ administrator and won two ball games over rival Harrison County in the girl/boy doubleheader.  
    The Cancer Awareness Night games also featured a presentation by former UK player Mark Krebs about his book covering the struggles of his family with his mother’s cancer diagnosis and eventual death.  
    The Fillies and Lady Cats opened the evening with a game that, after a couple of early lead changes, was all Lady Cats.
