The Harrison County Middle School Colts lost two more games on Thursday but the eighth grade team showed some much-needed improvement over the previous outing.
The seventh grade Colts put together a decent drive to start the game but did not score and gave the ball up on downs to Royal Springs.  
Royal Springs then put together a sustained drive and scored late in the first quarter to lead 8-0 after the first six minute period.

The Harrison County Thorobreds played Friday night in a scrimmage that could have been dubbed the Mosquito Bowl.  
Frankfort High School was the host to a five-team scrimmage that was played in a field off Old Lawrenceburg Road next to the Kentucky River.
The Breds’ first opponent was George Rogers Clark in a format that had each team play 10 offensive plays and then 10 defensive plays.  

On Monday, the National Labor Relations Board decided that the football players at Northwestern University could not form a college football players union to demand better treatment and pay for play.  
This was a good decision though the board did not put the issue aside only the one particular situation.  
They used to say that the Northwestern players would tell the Ohio State bullies and others that were pushing them around to “go ahead and have your fun now, when we graduate you will be working for me.”
