  • Oldham County falls to Ballard

    Three weeks removed from a week nine matchup with Ballard, Oldham County returned to Pat Crawford Stadium for the second round of Class 6A playoffs and another shot at the Bruins.
    Though the dates were different, the results were all too familiar to coach Matt Brown and the Colonels as they fell 30-14 to close their season.
    Field position was key to the game as Oldham County never found ideal situations to strike.
    Nonetheless, in the first half, the Colonels made their presence felt often, matching Ballard punch for punch.

  • Season of firsts ends for South...

    Story by RANDY HEITE
    South Oldham’s season came to an end Friday night as they lost to Cooper 49-28.
    Cooper got started quickly with a short 5-yard run by A.J Collins. South Oldham’s Kevin Kuriger had his own 5-yard touchdown with less than a minute left in the first quarter to tie it at 7.
    Cooper’s Tyler Morris would connect with Collins again for a 3-yard-touchdown, but South was not going to let Cooper have the lead for long — senior quarterback Jack Sherry ran it in from 6 yards out. At the half, South Oldham was down 21-14.

  • A season to remember: North...

    Three months ago, the North Oldham Mustangs entered the 2012 season with a nearly unbearable amount of pressure hanging on their shoulders. On Oct. 27, they lived up to expectations by returning to the state’s biggest stage and walking away with two wins.
    Though their run didn’t end quite the way they hoped — a 3-0 loss to Mercy in the state semifinal game — coach Brian Jones said he is proud of what his girls accomplished.
