  • Profile of an assistant

    At the suggestion of one of the varsity coaches, I am going to do a series of articles on the assistant coaches of the various sports at Harrison County High School.
    The first coach is Fillies Basketball assistant Kim Furnish.  
    Kim is the youngest child of Jim and Teresa Furnish and a 2002 graduate of Harrison County High School.  
    She played basketball at Harrison County for Coach Mac Whitaker and started on both the 2000 and 2002 Regional Champion teams.

  • Breds in Bracken tournament,...

    The Harrison County Thorobreds are finishing 2010 by playing in a tournament in Bracken County.  
    The tournament began on Monday with the Breds facing the Lewis County Lions of the 16th region at 4:45 p.m.  
    The Lions brought a 5-4 record into the game with a line up that included eight seniors to face the inexperienced Thorobreds.
    It didn’t take long for the Lions to show their poise and senior leadership as they handled the Harrison County trap and press with little difficulty.

  • New Year’s resolutions or how...

    2010 is nearing its end and a lot of people at the end of any year make a list of changes or improvements that they hope to make for the New Year.
    I am going to list some sports related changes that I would like to see along with some others that I would like to make for me and others.
    The first change I would like to see is all sports to get rid of challenges of the officials’ calls by coaches.

  • Fillies split games in Pendleton...

    The Harrison County Fillies won on Monday and lost on Tuesday in the Edwardo’s Classic Tournament in Falmouth.  
    The tournament is actually a round robin affair with the Fillies playing Grant County, Pendleton County and Campbell County in successive nights.
    The junior varsity squads also play so it is an excellent opportunity for all of the teams to get some work in and gain experience.  
    The Monday night battle was a tale of two halves as the Fillies were lethargic to start the game with the Lady Braves of Grant County.

  • Christmas week brings back fond...

    I just saw a segment of 60 Minutes featuring people with memories that were so detailed they could remember everything that ever happened to them and at exactly what time it occurred.  
    I can remember many things that happened in my youth especially at Christmastime. Christmas in my family meant Christmas Eve with the Aldridge family. Since my dad was one of nine children, there could be anywhere between 50 to 80 people in a small house though we never noticed it being crowded.
