Still in their blood
Campbellsville hosted a first-ever event Memorial Day weekend as more than 50 contestants, representing more than 30 communities, participated in the Campbellsville Open Horseshoe Pitching Tournament at Miller Park.
With 12 new pits ready, according to Ralph White, one of the organizers, the state-sanctioned tournament was a huge success.

Jessie takes Lady Cards' hoop reins
Jenny Jessie is sliding over one seat, but it's a seat she's quite familiar with.
Jessie was formally hired as the head basketball coach for the Taylor County Lady Cardinals on Tuesday night, but it was a move almost everyone knew would happen when David Parsons announced his retirement near the start of the 2007-2008 season.
"I am very excited and honored to have this opportunity," Jessie said. "I think Taylor County basketball is a program that can be built into a force across the region.
"We have a great deal of young talent that has lots of varsity experience."
