North Oldham

CRESTWOOD — Trips Left 81 Keanan Stick.

South Oldham last ran that play a year ago against Conner, but not since then. It’s three receivers left and Keanan John, South’s top receiver, on the backside to the right of the field.

It was a common theme all game: John facing one-on-one coverage with no safeties over the top and quarterback Drew Zaubi would let it fly hoping his man would make the play.

The early signing period began Wednesday morning for high school student athletes signing letter of intents to carry their athletic careers to the college level.

Five local students from North Oldham, Oldham County and South Oldham signed Wednesday and more will sign in the coming days.

Listed below are high school athletes planning to sign in the next week.

 LEXINGTON – David St. Louis spoke with Drew LaMaster Friday night before the state cross country meet about the dynasty North Oldham has built at this level.

St. Louis, the current boys’ coach, was telling LaMaster, the coach from 2006-11, about how long the streak could go.

“I said, ‘We can keep this this up and we might make it interesting since St. Henry won (11) in a row,’” St. Louis said.

North Oldham still has a ways to go, but it’s well on the way.

CRESTWOOD — South Oldham learned quickly that the playoffs won’t offer an easy opponents. Once the Dragons learned that lesson early, they settled down and took control.

The Dragons scored 21-straight to break a tie at halftime to seal a second round playoff spot next week against Fairdale at 7:30 p.m at Dragon Stadium.
