 CRESTWOOD —South Oldham lacrosse coach Bob Newton hopes his team’s best playing days are still to come, and it seems that the Lady Dragons are warming up to those days now. South capped its home schedule with an 11-4 win over Atherton last Thursday for Senior Night. South, only in its second year with a girls lacrosse program, graduates 10 seniors that Newton calls the “backbone” of the program.

 CRESTWOOD ----— Based on the result of South Oldham’s 11-8 win over North Oldham Friday night, it would be easy to draw a conclusion that the two teams would be the top contenders in the district. You wouldn’t have known that the Mustangs were winless at the time and that the Dragons were winners of five straight.

 Two days from now, I’ll make a huge check mark on my bucket list. Growing up a sports fan in Tennessee, the Kentucky Derby was something we only acknowledged. For just a few — maybe 10 — minutes on the first Saturday in May, I would tune into NBC to watch the Derby. I had no wager or care for who won. I just watched it to fulfill my curiosity of the biggest sporting event that day.
