It's great to see the Webster County Lady Trojans staking a claim near the summit of the Second Region mountain top. They've lost only twice all season — both times to the Henderson County Lady Colonels.

The Lady Colonels had no trouble overcoming bigger opponents at the recent RE/MAX Holiday Classic at Daviess County High School.

Two games into the girls basketball season, it's too early to put permanent labels on Henderson County players. But here are some observations, gleaned from a couple of lopsided wins:

There's a legend about the 1927 Yankees winning the World Series before it even began. Their opponents lost heart while watching them murder the ball in batting practice.

Saturday will go down as a special date in Henderson County High School history. How often does a school win two regional championships in the same day?

What was the most hotly-debated topic of the 2012 Olympics? There are plenty of candidates.

The Union County Bravettes looked better and better as the tournament progressed — yet they were eliminated in the first round. They fell to the eventual champion Christian County Lady Colonels, who then rolled to lopsided victories in the semis ...

A couple Kentucky Wildcats were late-round selections in the recent NFL draft. Now just wait for the UK cavalcade of stars this summer when professional basketball does its thing.

The final figures say Duncan McCormick came within a couple of strokes of winning the Jace Bugg Men's City Golf Championship. In truth, he came a lot closer.

Following Union County's 16-14 triumph over Caldwell County Friday, I approached the Braves coaching staff and uttered three words I'd never said before: "Where's your kicker?"

Forget the offense's second-half dominance and the lop-sided final score. After Union County closed out a 35-19 win over Madisonville, Braves Nation was still buzzing about a highlight-reel defensive play.
