  • Fillies split 2, end losing...

    The Harrison County Fillies battled Montgomery County hard on the Hilltop on Thursday, but were unable to score with the Lady Indians and fell 67-50.  
    The Indians’ fast-paced offense made it difficult for the Fillies to defend them, which allowed for some easy baskets.
    Point guard Kelsey Cummins was hampered by illness and some early foul trouble which led to some ball handling issues for the Fillies.

  • Playoffs and poor sportsmanship...

    The NFL playoffs are now down to the last four teams and there are some big surprises.  
    No doubt the biggest surprise is the Jets beating the Patriots, especially since Bill Belichick is a genius according to the east coast sportswriters and major television announcers.  
    The Patriots were really never in this game after the first Jet score as their offense sputtered all over the field much to the dismay of the home crowd.

  • Profile of an assistant

    This week’s profile is of the four cheerleader assistants.  
    Head Coach DeDe Shirley commented that cheerleading, unlike many other sports, requires the ultimate in timing and teamwork, which is also how the assistants’ roles work.  
    While one may be stronger in the gymnastic aspects, another may be stronger in dance, another in routines and yet another in strength and conditioning.  
    So it takes a coordinated effort to work with the number of girls involved and to get the utmost effort and results.

  • Cheerleaders repeat as region...

    Greg Shirley is probably a little biased when it comes to cheerleading since his wife, DeDe, is the head coach at Harrison County High School.  
    But Greg described the routine that the Harrison County High School cheerleaders did on Saturday as the most exciting two and one half minutes of sports, compared to the first Saturday in May’s most exciting two minutes in sports.  
    That is how well the performance went on Saturday for the Harrison County squad.
