  • Grand Stamm: Stunning Soccer...

    Since I began covering sports in 2002 for my high school newspaper in Rowan County, I have regularly worked with athletic officials at the collegiate and high school levels.

    It might just be in passing or it might be to ask an off-the-record question and I feel like I’ve had a good relationship when I’ve interacted with these officials.

    I find many are friendly and helpful, even humorous.

  • North boys, South girls win...

    From the beginning of the Class 2A Region 3 cross country championship race on Saturday, North Oldham senior Taylor Sanders had a certain mindset.

  • Scott County too much for Oldham

    GEORGETOWN --- As Oldham County entered its first playoff game against Scott County the Colonels didn’t think they would be in the situation they were in.

    LOUISVILLE --- There wasn’t a whole lot of let up this morning.

    In its first round win over Letcher County Central yesterday at the KHSAA State Volleyball Tournament, North Oldham wasn’t happy with the way it let the Lady Cougars hang around.
