  • Destiny is key for Ky. Derby

    By Chuck Harper

    Webster’s Dictionary defines destiny as “the hidden power believed to control what will happen in the future; fate.”
    The 139th running of the Kentucky Derby will have no short supply of destiny.
    Didn’t it just seem to you that the Louisville Cardinals were on a mission to cut down the nets in Atlanta? When Kevin Ware (No. 5, remember that number) went down with that devastating leg injury, it just gave them more resolve to win the whole thing.
    Destiny? Probably.
    Kentucky Derby 139 and the 2013 NCAA Tournament have some interesting things in common.

  • South Oldham evens OC series...

    It was wet and wild but South Oldham found a way to win, outlasting rival Oldham County 5-4 April 17 in a game delayed for 45 minutes because of lightning.
    For the second time this season, the Dragons turned the table on a district opponent that had previously beaten them, upending the Colonels one day after a 5-2 loss muddied the district picture.
    But early on, it looked like OC was the team to beat.
