Right when she learned to walk, Debbie Biddle said she learned to run.

“Don’t we all run before we walk?” she said.

A computer teacher at Harrison County High School, Biddle runs twice a day... running at least 50 miles each week.

“I started running like I run now because I was no longer playing team sports, and still wanted to exercise,” she said.

At college, Biddle began long-distance running, and she hasn’t stopped since.

The Harrison County Fillies and Thorobreds both lost tough games last week and are looking for the weather to clear so they can get back in the gym and correct some mistakes.

On Saturday, the Breds were once again plagued by poor post defense as they dropped a 68-64 decision to Madison Southern in the West Jessamine Colt Classic in Nicholasville.

Eagles center Joey Wallace worked on the Breds around the basket and scored 25 of his game-high 31 points in the second half.

Cincinnati Reds fans gathered at Angilo’s restaurant Thursday morning to welcome Reds players and administrators. As part of a winter caravan, the Reds stopped throughout West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. Above, Reds second-baseman Brandon Phillips signed baseballs, t-shirts, and schedules for Cynthiana fans. Along with Phillips were Hall of Fame broadcaster Marty Brennaman, broadcaster Chris Welsh, 2007 #1 draft pick Devin Mesoraco, Reds Hall of Famer Lee May, VP and Assistant GM Bob Miller, Senior Special Assistant to the General Manager Gene Bennett and Reds mascot Gapper.

On Saturday night in Covington, the Harrison County Thorobreds found out what it’s like to take on the best team in the state.

Top-ranked Holmes (16-1) had little trouble taking care of the Thorobreds, jumping to an early lead and cruising to a 63-42 win.

“In all reality, Holmes took it easy on us,” said HCHS Head Coach Mike Reitz. “This one could have been a  90-30 game or something like that.”
