North Oldham

BUCKNER – There’s a group of girls at Oldham County Middle School with something to prove.

There are about seven or eight of them. They play basketball. They’re the Lady Colonels, and they’re on the verge of something special and they’re ready to tell me all about it.

GOSHEN — North Oldham senior Grace Oglesby’s nationally recognized success at the butterfly swim may be from a result of consequences when she was younger.

When Oglesby was 12, the butterfly was considered a punishing exercise by her coach. Any time the young Oglesby wasn’t doing a freestyle to standards, she was forced to practice long sets of butterfly, which is considered the most physically demanding form of swim.

North Oldham athletic director Alan Yanke announced the resignation of two head coaches on Thursday.

Ann Revell, the only girls soccer coach ever at North, will not return next season after 13 years at the helm and field hockey coach Michelle Dixon also announced her resignation.

Dixon coached two years at North and helped build the interest in the sport also in its second year as a KHSAA sponsored sport.

The Lady Mustangs went 6-12 this season.

CRESTWOOD — The defensive side of the ball was one of South Oldham’s more consistent areas as they transitioned from 23 graduated seniors from last year’s squad.

The defensive line and secondary brought back a few starters, but the linebacker position was left with big question marks as to who would fill the role left by Conner John, who walked on at the University of Kentucky after leading the team with 126 total tackles.
