  • Cards score five TDs, force five...

    Coach Curtis Cotton captured his initial win as head coach for Taylor County and the Cardinals started district play with a convincing 38-0 victory over Jackson County at home on Friday night.

    The defense set the stage for the game as they forced five turnovers, aided by steady rains in the first half. 

    Cody Newton began the scoring with a 23-yard run and Ben Hollingsworth hit Matthew Johns for the conversion.

    Christian Cowherd set up his teammates with a fumble recovery at the Generals’ 27-yard line.

    Campbellsville Middle School dominated from start to finish in posting a 34-0 football victory over visiting Taylor County on Tuesday night.

    Three plays later, Adams picked off a Cardinal pass at midfield and raced 50 yards to pay dirt for a 14-0 CMS cushion.

    Lamer appeared to go 82 yards on the Eagles’ next drive but was penalized for taunting and CMS did not score.

    Tasha Phillips assumed her basketball career was over. That is until a call came last week from her agent.

    Phillips got the contract on Saturday. It consists of salary, an apartment, meals, health insurance and three round-trip flights back to the states between now and May.
