  • Raiders fail as dragon slayers

    By LARRY SULLIVAN, JR.

    Special to The Trimble Banner

    Hitting the hardwood at South Oldham High School Saturday, Jan. 10, the senior heavy Trimble County Raider squad hoped this would be the night to turn things around.

  • Girls win red-hot game by 4

    It was frigid outside, but red-hot inside the Gallatin County gym Thursday, Jan. 8, as the Lady Panthers took one from the border rival Lady Wildcats in regulation play.

    Whether you chose to file your own taxes or hand the task over to a professional, there’s no time like the present to get started.
