    Despite the weather and two inexperienced quarterbacks, the Harrison County Thorobreds did better than expected in the passing league games on Pendleton County’s field Friday night.  
    Harrison County defeated the home team and Bracken County while dropping the match with Holy Cross of Covington.
    “Our quarterbacks performed well for their first time playing the position,” noted Coach Jim Carr. “Senior Mark Taylor and sophomore Luke Slucher each threw for three or four touchdowns and freshman Ben VanHook also did well.”

  • Murray earns three medals in...

    Kentucky athlete Tim Murray can be easily considered one of the most accomplished, successful and least known athletes in Kentucky.
    Which is odd, really. He makes a remarkable first impression. And it has very little to do with that fact that he’s a bit over four feet tall.
    As an athletic trainer and physical therapy assistant at Harrison Memorial Hospital, Murray has contact with people who are often surprised by his appearance — at first.

  • Mid summer, slow time for high...

    The dead period for high school sports leaves a gap in activity which makes me kind of unfocused and almost disinterested in sports.  
    I would much rather go to and write about high school sports than any other with the possible exception of a baseball game in St. Louis.  
    Major League Baseball is so poorly covered by the Lexington media that it is hard to actually find out what is going on with anyone except maybe the Reds and as you probably know I am not a fan of the Red Legs.

  • Lewis and Collins overall...

    Chris Lewis and IV Collins shot a red hot 96 on Sunday morning. That score survived challenges from two other duets to win 2014’s The Jungle by one shot 163 to 164.  
    Tom Korona/Ron Reanult and David McIlvain/Shearl Moore came in just one stroke shy of tying and putting the match into playoffs.  
    Johnny Mac Dawson/Clint Bishop trailed by three strokes at 166 and Josh Ashbrook/Brian Parker came in with 167, just four strokes off the pace.

  • A hodge podge of thoughts

    I am sitting in my office on this cloudy weather-threatening day thinking about a bunch of different sports-related items.  
    I am glad the World Cup is finally over after what seemed to be months of coverage.  
    Germany won over Argentina 1-nil (0) Sunday and then the people in Argentina rioted with 30 police people injured and 60 or so rioters arrested.  
    What in the world is wrong with these people?  
    Football is almost here as practice has begun for both the high school and middle school teams.
