  • Dragons dominate home Cards 56-6

    Green County had impressed Taylor County’s Curtis Cotton on film and Friday’s live action did not do anything to dampen Cotton’s opinion on the Dragon’s wealth of talent.

    “They’ve got a team we aren’t ready for now,” Cotton admitted after the 56-6 home shellacking. “We may not see any better players than their quarterback and running backs all year.”

  • Fighting Tigers shine under new...

    To say that there’s an excitement surrounding the start of the 2010 Campbellsville University football season would be an understatement. More than 3,500 fans packed Finley Stadium and its fence lines Saturday night to watch the Fighting Tigers make history and start the season 1-0 with a 34-7 victory over Kentucky Christian University in the first home night game in school history.

  • TCMS footballers off to 3-0 start

    The Taylor County Middle School football Cardinals have started the 2010 season 3-0 after conference wins over Russell County and LaRue County.

     The Cardinals defeated the Russell County Lakers 12-0 on Aug. 19 behind strong special teams’ play. 

    Spencer Armstrong blocked a punt midway through the third quarter and the offense quickly capitalized on a one-yard run by Jarrett Benningfield.

    A Quentin Goodin punt return set up a fourth-quarter eight-yard run by Zach Richerson.

  • Eagles fall to 0-2 with road...

    Campbellsville couldn’t have asked for a much better start to Friday night’s tangle at Russell County but fell 25-6 to the home squad.

    The Lakers used a 61-yard pass play to go the CHS 10-yard line before the Eagle defense stiffened and held the Lakers to a  22-yard Lucas Williams field goal on its opening drive.

  • Breathitt bests CHS 16-6 in...

    The Campbellsville High School Eagles kept the game surprisingly close but still dropped a 16-6 decision to Class 3-A Breathitt County 16-6 on Saturday night in the first game of the second annual Forcht Bank Bowl on Dave Fryrear Field.

    “I was pleased we hung in there and continued to battle,” CHS coach Jay Cobb remarked.

    After a scoreless first quarter, the Bobcats took advantage of CHS’ poor field position and recorded a safety with just over five minutes left in the half.

  • Can the local gridiron teams...

    An old Major League Baseball saying was “You’re going to win one-third of your games and lose one-third of your games no matter what. It’s what you do in the other third that determines how good of a team you are every season.”

    That assumption may hold true for the local high school football squads as they begin the 2010 campaign on Friday for Taylor County and Saturday for Campbellsville with first-year head coaches.

    Let’s start with the Cardinals who begin play tomorrow at Adair County under Curtis Cotton.

  • Cards come up short in opener at...

    Adair County ran almost twice as many plays as Taylor County and held off the Cardinals’ go-ahead efforts to squeak out a 20-19 home victory on Friday night in Columbia.

    “Our pass protection and quarterback play was pretty good,” admitted Taylor County’s Curtis Cotton in his first regular-season game as head coach. “But, I didn’t do a good enough job getting the ball to Blake Dudgeon and we just didn’t have the ball enough.”
