  • Harrison wrestlers return strong...

    Frank Sinatra sang the song “High Hopes” in 1959 but Old Blue Eyes didn’t have anything on Harrison County wrestling Coach Luke Tucker.  
    The veteran coach and his assistants have a returning group that includes 10 state qualifiers from 2013-14 and a couple of newcomers that could make the Thorobreds a regional contender in every weight class.
    Last year the Thorobreds finished third in the region behind Johnson Central and Montgomery County.  The goal for the Breds is to pass these two and become region champs in 2014-15.

  • Life is short, then you’re gone

    St. Louis Cardinal outfielder Oscar Taveras’ death Sunday made me think about how quickly a person can go from upright to six feet under.  
    Here was a 22-year-young man with an extremely promising future and everything to live for losing his life in a car accident along with his 18-year-old girlfriend. What a shame.  
    This was a terrible accident but as callous as it sounds “accidents happen.”

  • Thorobreds fall to Colonels...

    The Harrison County Thorobreds offense once again fizzled to a stop gaining only five total yards Saturday afternoon in a 56-0 loss to the Covington Catholic Colonels.  
    The big Colonel defensive line dominated the youthful Thorobreds making running and passing difficult all afternoon.  
    Penalties were also an issue as the Thorobreds were flagged for 81 yards on nine infractions.  
    Covington Catholic scored on their first possession after the Breds picked up one first down and punted the ball away in the game’s opening series.

    The weather tried to prevent it, but eventually the Harrison County Thorobreds won the 38th District Soccer Championship defeating Pendleton County, 3-2, Saturday afternoon in Falmouth.  
    The Breds defeated Mason County, 7-0, in Thursday’s first match of the district tournament sending the Royals home with a season-ending mark of 0-14.
