  • 2007 Sports year in review

    The sports year was happy and sad on the local front as coach Donna Wise retired and Ginger Colvin took the reigns.

    Some things also remained about the same as Taylor County High's softball and baseball teams continued to rack up district crowns, Campbellsville's baseball team kept rolling in the All "A" and Campbellsville University men's basketball, baseball and softball stayed in the national championship hunt.

    Deaton, who did not play this fall, threw for 3,726 yards and 43 touchdowns to lead the Briar Jumpers to a 9-5 record in 2006 before being eliminated by eventual Class A state champion Newport Central Catholic.

  • CU move still making buzz around...

    I'm not exactly sure when Santa Claus is arriving in Campbellsville. But one thing I know for sure is that the Campbellsville University hiring of Perry Thomas as its next head football coach still has the community talking.

    The former Campbellsville High School head coach and, until last week, Paducah Tilghman football boss should be back in town today and hopes to make permanent residence the first week of January.

    The question on the street seems to still be "I'm glad they hired Perry Thomas."
