There’s no way to disguise the fact that the 2008 soccer year for the Harrison County Thorobreds was dismal.

They finished the year with a 1-14 record. They were shutout nine times, including their last five regular season games and their district tournament loss to Montgomery County, 1-0. They began the season with seven straight losses, defeated Frankfort 1-0, then lost seven more games to wrap up the season. They scored only six goals all year, and never played a game when they scored more than once.

It will be a hungry Harrison County Fillies soccer team that takes the field for the 2009 season.

Coming off a 6-12-2 season in 2008, and a season ending 3-2 loss to Montgomery County in the 24th  District Tournament semi-finals, Coach Kim Jenkins thinks she has the senior leadership this year to turn that record around.

Fall sports schedules for all the HCHS teams are completed and will be available to the public soon. They were sent to the printer today and should be available around town in the next week or two.

One date that the athletic department at the high school is excited about is the Oct. 10 football game between the Breds and visiting Pendleton County.

Pitcher Logan Dailey and outfielder Malcolm Thomas are two of 18 underclassmen from across Kentucky that will represent the Commonwealth in a national baseball tournament that will be held in Plainfield, Ill., July 29-Aug. 1.

Dailey, a junior-to-be in the 2009-10 school year, was the Harrison County Thorobreds top pitcher during the 2009 season, finishing the year with a record of 8-2 with an ERA of 1.30.

He pitched a complete game shutout in the Breds 2-0 win over Louisville Trinity in the first round of the Forcht Bank/KHSAA State Baseball Tournament this spring.
