  • 1974 grad still enjoying...

    Just to show how old I and the class of 1974 are getting, there wasn't a girls' basketball team when we graduated in 1974.

    The sport which was halted decades earlier (matter of fact Sue Smith's mother was a stand-out) started back again for the 1974-75 campaign.

    At least one local young lady didn't get a chance to display her skills while still in high school.

    She did go on to play at Western Kentucky University and probably goes down as one of the best female athletes ever produced in Taylor County.

    Eighth-grader Kelsey Feltner paced the Lady Eagles by winning the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes and also being on the second-place 4x100- and 4x-200-meter relay teams (along with Danika Smith, Erica Crider and Stephanie Cowherd).

    Smith was second in the 100 dash while Crider was fourth in 100 hurdles and Baker fourth in the discus.

  • Eagles clobber Cardinals 9-1 on...

    Campbellsville High school took advantage of five Taylor County errors and rolled past the visiting Cardinals 9-1 on Tuesday afternoon.

    After Taylor County failed to score in the first when its first two hitters (Chance Walls and Chase Roution) reached on walks, the Eagles tallied two unearned runs in the second and never trailed.

    Aaron Schwoebel's one-out single moved Taylor Levi, who reached on an error to third where he scored on Adam Simmons' infield single.

    A walk to Kyle Martin loaded the bases and Tyler Finn's free pass made it 2-0.

    Graham, who competed against 2008 College Player of the Year Tyler Hansbrough and against current NBA players Travis Outlaw and Al Jefferson, played his final game when the Tigers lost to Oklahoma City in the NAIA Division 1 semifinals last month in Kansas City.
