    When a team outscores the opposition 25-0, outhits them 23-5 and makes zero errors in two games that team is more than likely going to win.  
    That is just what Harrison County’s Fillies did in their two games of the 38th District Tournament at Shirley Field in Cynthiana, turning back Robertson County 21-0 Sunday and Nicholas County 4-0 Monday.

  • Honoring the greats

    Sunday night I was sitting in a hotel room in Berlin, Ohio, watching ESPN.  
    The ceremony from Yankee Stadium retiring Derek Jeter’s number two jersey was on before the game between the Yankees and Houston. Ironically, it was only the day before that the Harrison County Thorobreds baseball program honored three former players in the “Fence of Fame” ceremony.
