  • District 29 baseball: Lively no-hits Trimble

    GOSHEN – Last month Drew Lively teamed with fellow senior pitcher Eddie Mathis to throw a perfect game against Trimble County.

    Monday Lively nearly repeated that feat on his own.

    Lively pitched five no-hit innings as South Oldham beat Trimble 10-0 in the first round of the District 29 tournament at North Oldham.

    The win clinched No. 1 seed South a spot in Wednesday’s district title game, which was played after The Era’s press deadline. The Dragons also punched a ticket to the Region 8 tournament, which begins Monday at Henry County.

  • Magistrate rematch features court battle

    One of the closest races for magistrate in 2010 will see a repeat race on May 20.

    Current 5th District Magistrate JD Sparks is running for re-election against the person he beat for the job four years ago, former magistrate Iva Davis. The first race between the two was decided by a mere 13 votes.

    And both candidates are feeling good about the second round.

    “I’ve had a wonderful response from the 5th District,” Davis said. “I’ve put out 350 signs, had people walking with me. I’m overwhelmed with the support.”
