Bryson Clifford and Jacob Markley were each eliminated in the first round of the state tennis competition, but not before each played well against top competition.  
Clifford faced off with Corbin’s Caroline Reedy and battled her way only to drop each set 6-3, 6-3.
Markley’s opponent, Adam Slone of Lexington Christian, handled the Union College-bound senior, 6-1, 6-0, in sets in which the score does not tell the story of how difficult each point was to score.  

After every track meet that is held in the athletic complex, Coach Danny Simpson always writes to me that he and Coach Robert Walker want to thank all of the parents and volunteers without whom the meet would have been very difficult to have.  
This made me think of all of the volunteers that we have around our county in the sports world.
Volunteer coaches come in many different styles.  

Harrison County made Senior Night successful Monday with a 10-3 defeat of Franklin County on the Hilltop.  
The evening began with the recognition of six seniors, five players and one stat girl. Stat girl Audrey Ramsey joined senior players Nolan Brossart, John King, Christian Persinger, Jordan Riley and Zach Royce on the field for the pregame ceremony and after the game for a reception.
Franklin County and Harrison County had matched up only 11 days ago on the Flyers’ field with Franklin County winning by a 6-2 score.  

The Harrison County Fillies lost to Henry Clay Thursday, 11-6, in nine innings and then went on the road Friday, Monday and Tuesday to win two of three.
The Henry Clay game was tight throughout with the two teams trading the lead until the second extra inning.  
The Lady Blue Devils (14-8) rallied with five runs for the win.
The Fillies took an early lead facing Somerset when Sydney Motell singled with two outs in the first, Courtney Newsom doubled and Macy Martin singled to drive in Motell for a 1-0 lead after one inning.
