  • ‘Football is a rough...

    Kentucky is No. 1 and well deserving of the top spot. Okay, I got that over with.

    I watched the Vikings give the game to the Saints Sunday night with my wife and answered many interesting questions. Most of them concern Brett Favre and why he was getting hammered on almost every pass in the second half. 

    Can they do that? 

    Why does he stay in there and let them knock him down? 

    Peyton Manning ducks down to the ground when he sees them coming, why doesn’t Favre?

  • Fillies split games over weekend

    Harrison County’s Fillies played perhaps their best game of the year Friday night, but came away on the short end of the score at Campbell County. 

    The Lady Camels, who are thought to be a top four team in the region, could never pull away and edged the Fillies 63-55. 

    Harrison County trailed by six at the end of the first period but a balanced attack for the most part brought the Fillies back in the second. At the half, the game was knotted at 23.

  • Scott Eagles too tall for Fillies

    Scott High’s Eagles came to town Tuesday evening and defeated the Harrison County Fillies by a 44-33 margin. 

    The Fillies game plan was superb. The one thing that Coach Jason Crisp warned his team about came true in a big way. 

    “I told them if we could keep Stinson from having a big game, we could win this game,” Crisp said. 

    Unfortunately, sophomore Taylor Stinson took advantage of the Fillies’ double team defense on 6-foot-4 Lauren Tibbs and poured in 21 points for the night.

  • It’s time to take the...

    It’s down to the final four in the NFL and I was surprised by three of the four winners.  So I will not talk about that this week except to say I am for the Colts and Saints. I am willing to overlook Drew Brees being Purdue alum because there are two Indiana University players on the Saints. 

    I wish more people would go to the high school ball games.

    The basketball gym does not have a track to stay off of, there isn’t a bad seat in the house and the product in both boys and girls is entertaining.

  • Bred’s wrestlers...

    In what Coach Russ Riegel determined to be the low point of the season the Harrison County Thorobred wrestling team was soundly defeated Wednesday at Campbell County. The Breds faced the Camels of Campbell County and a team from Mt. Healthy of Ohio.

    The first session of the day with Campbell found the Bred grapplers only winning two matches as they fell by a 64-10 margin.

  • Camels send Breds to third...

    Malcolm Thomas’ running lay up with 1.8 seconds left fell off the rim and the Harrison County Thorobreds went down to defeat at the hands of the Camels of Campbell County Tuesday night. 

    This was the third straight defeat and the second where Harrison County felt like it should have won. 

    The Breds led at the end of the first quarter after trailing early in the game.  Thomas hit for seven points in the first period as the Breds took a 14-11 lead.

  • Fillies stop losing streak at...

    The Harrison County Fillies played Montgomery County last Wednesday, Mason County Saturday and traveled to Deming on Tuesday night as they worked through a busy stretch of the schedule.

    Montgomery County faced a determined Fillies squad who played them tough the entire night.

    In this turnover-plagued game, the heavily favored Lady Indians struggled against the Harrison County zone for the majority of the time.  Harrison trailed by only one at the end of the first period and were still only one down at half 24-23.
