  • Youthful veterans return for...

    “Youth” and “veteran” usually do not go together, but in the case of Harrison County’s golf teams, it is a perfect description.  
    One senior, Fillies’ Morgan Nelly, stands on the roster of the Fillies and Thorobreds with only two juniors, six sophomores, three eighth graders, a seventh grader and a fifth grader making up the total of Coach Jason Crisp’s 2014 line up.

    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.
