South Oldham

 South Oldham senior Cole Dowdy has added another award to his stellar year in cross country. Dowdy has been named the 2015-16 Kentucky Boys Cross Country Gatorade Runner of the Year, an award honoring the nation’s best high school athletes by The Gatorade Company in collaboration with USA TODAY High School Sports. The Gatorade Company announced the award for Dowdy Friday morning, which qualifies him as a finalist for the Gatorade National Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year award announced later this month.

When Oldham County wrestling opened its season at home in late November, it was the start of a year of high expectations.  The successes of one state champion and a team returning as one of the top dual squads in the state brought anticipation and head coach Aaron Riordan, in the spirit of itching suspense, wasn’t going to reveal the lineup just yet in the opener.

GOSHEN — South Oldham has spent significant time recently in practice working on it’s 3-point shooting. It’s an area the Lady Dragons haven’t fared so well in this season, so it was a new feeling for Sydney Herold when the shots fell in clutch moments Tuesday night. Herold hit a 3-pointer to force overtime and the Lady Dragons took care of business late in a 62-57 overtime win at North Oldham.

 BUCKNER — Oldham County believes it has turned the corner from a dismal start to 2016. The Colonels mission to return to solid and aggressive defense allowed them to pull away late against the equally tough North Oldham Mustangs. Oldham County out worked North Oldham down the stretch to earn a 56-38 win Friday night in Buckner to complete its regular season District 29 slate.
