BUCKNER – Oldham County crawled up from a deep valley Tuesday against Walton-Verona. The only problem was that once the Lady Colonels reached the top of the hill, they slipped and fell right back down.

Playing its first game in nearly two weeks, OC came back from a 16-point deficit Tuesday to take a fourth quarter lead, only to see the Bearcats regain control and win 65-58.

It will be easier for patrons of a popular Crestwood event center to consume alcohol, thanks to the results of a special election.

The election, held Tuesday at the South Oldham Fire Station on Old La Grange road, will now allow Yew Dell Botanical Gardens to sell alcohol by the drink during events. The change was passed by an 87 percent margin.

Yew Dell is host to many business events and weddings year-round, but previously could only make alcohol available by hiring a licensed caterer to provide it.

LOUISVILLE – North Oldham’s swimmers were county kings and queens of the pool again Friday night.

Two and a half months after Oldham County football coach Matt Brown resigned, the school has named his replacement.

Mike Shatzer was announced as the Colonels’ new head coach Tuesday afternoon in a videoconference with the players and coaching staff.

Shatzer comes to Buckner after a year at Park Crossing High School in Montgomery, Ala., where he taught history and helped start a football program at the school, which opened last fall.
