BEDFORD – South Oldham and Trimble County will play a more important game in a couple of weeks. But Wednesday night the Lady Dragons made people picking against them in that game take a second look.

South held a streaking Lady Raider team to just two first quarter points and held on for a 49-46 road win.

BUCKNER – Oldham County football players hadn’t seen a Colonel head football coach face-to-face in nearly three months.

But once the players met recently hired head coach Mike Shatzer Friday at OCHS, they said they liked what they saw.

Shatzer, who’s still teaching at his current job in Alabama, drove north to meet his new team Friday. He introduced himself to players in the weight room before addressing players, parents and others involved with the program in the school library before the boys basketball game against Simon Kenton.

GOSHEN – North Oldham girls basketball began a five-games-in-five-nights gauntlet Tuesday on a strong note.

The Carroll game was the first for North (7-11) in a stretch of five straight days of games. The Lady Mustangs will play at Spencer County Wednesday, at Shelby County Thursday and at Seneca Friday before rounding out the week at home against Southern Saturday.
