  • Boys golf team takes 7-0 record to regional contest

    Trimble County boys golf looked great as they headed into this week’s regional tournament.

    Ranked one of the hardest courses in the state, Raider players discovered why The Willows back 9 is said to be among the top 3 toughest in the state.

    Despite not claiming a region victory, the boys golf team, like other Raider athletic clubs, did not go down without a fight Monday.

  • Down to the nitty gritty with the football Raiders

    Special to the Trimble Banner

    Like always, when the Trimble County Raiders and the Gallatin County Wildcats, district rivals, face off on the gridiron, you can almost always expect a nose grinding, very physical, great defensive game.

    This is similar to last year’s playoff game at Gallatin County and exactly what the fans got again this last week.

    On Friday September 19, 2008 the Raiders traveled to Gallatin, but came up short once again, losing 15-6.

    Endurance is the name of the game in cross country, and D’Anthony Collins proved he is a champion in that category running 3.1 miles in under 20 minutes.

    Collins completed that feat after attending football practice for three hours that same afternoon.

    Only runners from cross-country powerhouses Walton Verona and Trimble County crossed the finish line ahead of Collins.

    The boys and girls teams each finished fourth out of the eight teams entered in each division.

  • POPLAR RIDGE BAPTIST PREPARES TO CELEBRATE 150 YEARS

    The 1938 destruction of 80 years of records couldn’t erase the rich history of Poplar Ridge Baptist Church.

    Terry Abbott, a member of the 150-year-old church’s congregation, has copies of two typewritten accounts of the church’s past – one compiled 50 years ago primarily from documents housed at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and Trimble County Clerk’s office and another recreating events from 1983-1998 – which take the place of decades of church documents inadvertently destroyed so many years ago.
