Bill and Karen Hopkins have moved around preaching their own gospel, the sport of pickleball. The two introduced Oldham County to the sport several years ago when they arrived and now help to run a group that plays four days a week at the La Grange Community Center.

It took a few innings for South Oldham softball to find a spark offensively, but runs weren’t as necessary as pitcher Aaliyah Tomes turned in one of the best games in her career. The freshman held Bullitt Central to six hits and one run in six innings to earn the win in South Oldham’s 9-1 victory on Thursday night.

Trevor Chapman and Ian Gifford each scored four goals as South Oldham boys lacrosse snapped their two-game losing streak with a 16-11 win over St. Charles North (Ill.) Saturday evening. Chapman scored three goals in the second half, but it was his score late in the third quarter that stood out.

Behind 13 goals by freshmen starting attackers Jake Justice, Austin Barnes and Luke Mettling, Oldham County defeated Scott County 17-7 on Wednesday night for their first win of the season. After scoring two goals in its first two games, the Colonels put the ball in the back of the net 17 times, the most goals scored by the team since March 2016.
