BUCKNER – The moment couldn’t have been any better for Oldham County’s Ashley McMurtrey.

It happened on her home floor, in front of all her friends and family and in a Lady Colonel win.

Five county basketball games have been canceled because of inclement weather, including one involving two county teams.

The North Oldham at Oldham County boys basketball game scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday has been postponed until Jan. 23, per OC athletics director Kevin Combs.

Meanwhile OC's girls basketball game at Breckinridge County that was scheduled for Friday night has been canceled, according to Lady Colonel coach Jace Bryant.

Oldham County has interviewed six candidates for its vacant football head coaching position and still has "two or three" interviews left to conduct, OC athletics director Kevin Combs told The Era Thursday.

OC's search committee began interviewing candidates earlier this month and hopes to wrap up its interviews by early next week, Combs said.

A coach will likely be in place by the end of the month, Combs said.

District games are magnified in a district where teams play each other just once during a season.

And when North Oldham heads to Oldham County at 7:30 p.m. Friday, there will be high District 29 stakes.
