  • It is the time of the year

    This is a great time of the year if you are a particular fan of not knowing what shoe is dropping next.  The NCAA tournament had several teams that most people expected to reach the Sweet 16 actually get there.  
    Duke, Villanova, Kansas, Purdue, Gonzaga, West Virginia, and yes, Kentucky I expected to be there.  I also had Texas Tech, Michigan, and a few others making it.

  • Something new and the same old...

    J.D. Kendall, son of Larry and Debbie Kendall, won the Elks Hoop Shoot Region last Saturday in Paris, Tennessee.  All J.D. had to do to win this is make 25 of 25 free throws. He defeated shooters from Tennessee, Missouri and Arkansas to win the competition.  
    Can you imagine the tension and pressure on a young man when shooting free throws in front of a gym full of people, some he knows most he doesn’t, in a gym six hours from his home?

    The Harrison County Fillies track squad and the Harrison County Thorobreds track squad have two very different scenarios going into the 2018 season.  The one similarity is that neither team has had any kind of decent weather to prepare for the season that is scheduled to begin Saturday at Woodford County.

    When a team loses seven seniors even the Harrison County baseball program with all of its success has some questions and some holes to fill.  
    That is what veteran Hall of Fame Coach Mac Whitaker is working on as his 41st season approaches.  Whitaker has the holes filled for now but depth is a problem without an answer yet.
