High School/Middle School

The Trimble County Raiders scored a triumvirate of wins last week. Following Monday’s triumph over Walden (see last week’s Trimble Banner), the Raiders made quick work of Williamstown on Thursday and Beth Haven on Saturday. Saturday’s 58-40 win over Beth haven capped a week of Homecoming activities for the team.

South Oldham’s Lady Dragons gave the visiting Trimble County’s Lady Raiders a shellacking in the first quarter of Monday night’s game at Crestwood and rode to victory on the strength of that one quarter alone.

Using tenacious defensive pressure to create steals and force rushed shots, South Oldham dismantled their guests quickly to race out to a 21-3 advantage after eight minutes of play. The Lady Dragons continued their scoring onslaught in the second quarter to increase the margin to 21 at halftime, leading 35-14.

An aggressive comeback attempt by Trimble County had Walton-Verona running scared in the late minutes of last week’s opening round game of the 8th Region All A Classic played at Williamstown. After cutting their deficit to two points, the Raiders began firing blanks and Walton-Verona took advantage of three straight turnovers in the final 30 seconds to escape with a 57-48 victory.
