BUCKNER – Fishermen have a  better chance of landing the big one in the Wendell Moore Park Lake thanks to a new fishing dock.
The dock,  which stretches 50-feet out into the lake, ends a 30-foot wide T and allows improved access to the water on the 20 plus acre lake. The lake has limited access along a sometimes steep shoreline and since half the lake is not available due to the shoreline being on the grounds of the Kentucky State Reformatory.

They are the arm and the bat that just may carry the Oldham County High School baseball team over the hump to a regional baseball championship this season.
Seniors Ryan Lakin and Wade Mason have both been selected to the Kentucky High School Baseball Coaches’ Association preseason all-state team after strong junior seasons that saw them lead the Colonels to a 21-12 record and regional semifinals last year.

NEW CASTLE – Region champion Oldham County High School placed three players on the coaches All-Eighth Region team.
The OCHS trio, senior Nolan Denise and juniors Tyler Wesley and Kerry Smith, reflected the Colonels’ overall balance among their starting five as two other OCHS players, seniors Dylan Henderson and Blake Payne finished just out of the voting.

NEW CASTLE – Dylan Henderson started the biggest day of his life by finding his shot.

A personal, early morning shooting session led to the biggest game of his life as the Oldham County High School senior hit six three-pointers and scored 22 points Tuesday to lead the Colonels to a shockingly easy 70-50 blowout of Spencer County in the Eighth Region finals.
