  • Tailgating on the Hilltop, let...

    Some friends of mine go to Commonwealth Stadium at 10 a.m. for a 7:30 p.m. kick off and another friend and his lovely wife have a blue bus that goes up sometimes on Friday night for a Saturday game. 

    What in the world?!! You might say. There must be something going on besides football.

    Absolutely not. It is football college style and they are going so early and buying a bus and painting it blue, redecorating with a sofa and recliners and other home-style objects so they will be ready to tailgate.

  • Playoff time and great memories

    The playoffs are set and the eight teams left will decide this year’s championship. 

    I think that the American League is wide open with Tampa Bay maybe the slight favorite. The National League has the Phillies as a clear cut favorite but the Giants could come in to surprise. 

    It will be really interesting with the World Series favorite being from the American League unless the Phillies do win the National League.  Then the Phillies should be the favorite due to H2O, Halladay, Oswalt and Hammels, the pitching trio who could dominate any team.

    Freshman Nathan Radford had his best race of the year (25th, 20:19) and Keenan Palmer and David Johnson also had strong races. Seventh grader Travis Fry was a surprise at the meet as he finished 67th in the varsity race in a time of 24:33.

  • Fillies finish home schedule...

    The Harrison County Fillies Volleyball team ended the regular season home schedule Tuesday night with a two set romp over neighboring Bourbon County. 

    The Fillies won 25-17 and 25-11 as they passed the ball very well during the contest. 

    “Our passing was better tonight so Allison (Cordray, the setter) could set up our hitters better,” noted Coach Bill Faulkner.  “Deidre and Madeline had some excellent slams tonight due to better sets. Overall, we reacted to the serve better.”

  • Tigers rip Thorobreds Saturday...

    Homecoming 2010 was first made uncomfortable by the rain, though the community needs the rain. The Bardstown Tigers absolutely spoiled the night as they ran rough shod over the Harrison County Thorobreds dominating every facet of the game. 

    The Thorobreds, playing without their three fastest players who were out with injuries, could never catch up to the fleet footed Tigers. 

    “We were not very good,” lamented Breds’ Coach Mark Carroll. “The same issues we had last week came back tonight and hurt us again.”

  • Slucher scores four times in 50-...

    Junior running back Nick Slucher scored the only points in the first half on a one-yard run with two seconds to play.  It was difficult to foresee that the Thorobreds would put 43 points on the board in the second half by the first half play, but that is just what happened. 

    Three of the second half touchdowns were on runs of four, one and 13 yards by Slucher has he was the work horse for the Thorobreds’ offense Friday. 

    He carried the ball for 142 yards on 19 carries and did not see any action in the fourth quarter.

  • Harrison cross country runs well...

    “It was a great day for our runners and I was happy for them,” said Coach Danny Simpson after the Capitol View Classic Saturday in Frankfort. 

    The race, which was run at The Archives on a hilly, rugged course, featured many of the better teams from central Kentucky. It was also the rare event where all of the participants were awarded a medal for the hard work that they put in during the day. Both the boys’ and girls’ varsity teams finished fourth in the team standings in this event.
