  • Fillies pitching coach Philpott...

    There will be an empty spot in the corner of the Harrison County Fillies dugout next season and a bucket seat missing an occupant. 

    After a total of 15 years of high school softball coaching, most spent as a pitching coach, Gary Philpott has decided that the past year was his last. 

    The 15 years of softball coaching in high school is only the tip of the iceberg as far as Philpott’s coaching career goes.

  • If the conferences all realign,...

    Here is my idea for realigning the conferences. 

    There would be four conferences. One for the student athletes, two for kind of middle of the road schools and one for pro’s in waiting.

    First, the student athlete conference.  Some teams are obvious: Vanderbilt, Northwestern and Duke would make up the core of the actual student athlete conference along with Stanford.

  • New track facility something to...

    We may be bragging too much, but I doubt it. 

    The Harrison County Athletic Complex is just a really good track facility which is a fact, not a boast. 

    I spent the entire regional track meet Saturday in the broiling sun watching some outstanding performances and also watching the reaction of the visiting athletes and coaches.

  • Breds trounce St. Pat 14-2, move...

    The Harrison County Baseball Breds jumped all over Maysville St. Patrick Monday afternoon and advanced in the 10th Region Tournament by a 14-2 margin. 

    Eric Sanders started the run production when he doubled in the bottom of the first and score on Jared Martin’s single. 

    The onslaught was in full force in the bottom of the second as the Breds scored nine runs on seven hits, two walks and two St. Patrick errors.  Hunter Hill, Matthew Dye each had run-scoring doubles and Josh Moss, Christian Chasteen and Shane Fowler each drove in runs with singles.

    The Harrison County Fillies and Thorobreds track squads ended the regular season Thursday on the Hilltop with very good performances and look now to improve on this effort Saturday in the Region 4 meet.

    Harrison County dominated the relays winning the 800m relay and finishing second in the 3200m relay and the 400m relay.
