North Oldham

BUCKNER — Oldham County got back on the right track Monday after an overwhelming weekend tournament.

Senior Whitney Leanhart hit a two-run triple in the second inning to spark a 3-0 victory over Sacred Heart Academy Monday to move Oldham County to 6-2 on the season.

The Lady Colonels’ two losses came over the weekend against Madisonville-North Hopkins and Male in the Big M Chevrolet Classic in Elizabethtown in blowout fashion.

 LEXINGTON – South Oldham doesn’t have much time for celebration before it must shift its focus to the next challenge.

Although Thursday night’s 58-34 victory over Owensboro Catholic did merit postgame festivities as the school’s first Sweet 16 victory, the Dragons quickly hit the reset button Friday morning.

“It was fun and exciting making history for South Oldham,” senior Jacob Bray said Friday morning. “It felt good.”

Whether South Oldham wins its first state tournament game Thursday night or not, the 2015-16 season will be remembered as one of the best in school history.

On top of setting a school record for wins in a season with a 28-5 record, a South Oldham win over Owensboro Catholic in the first round of the Whitaker Bank/KHSAA Boys’ Sweet 16 Thursday night, would mark the 300th career win for head coach Steve Simpson in his 16 years at the helm at South Oldham.

CRESTWOOD —South Oldham senior Isaac Fields remembers the surreal feeling when the Dragons first stepped into Rupp Arena when he was a freshman.

That was three years ago, and Fields said that feeling will probably come up again this year even if it is South Oldham’s third time since 2013 to play in the Whitaker Bank/KHSAA Boys’ Sweet 16.
