South Oldham defeated Trimble County 4-1 in girls’ tennis on March 28. Trimble’s No. 1 singles player Kasi Fogle defeated South Oldham’s Anna Townsend, 6-0, 6-2. No. 2 singles Kalee Cook was defeated by South Oldham’s Sarah Hawes, 1-6, 0-6. Trimble’s No. 3 singles, Cierra Harmon, was defeated by Mason Maylong, 0-6, 0-6.

“It was simply inexcusable what went down today!”

Trimble County Coach Frank Ragland’s displeasure with his team’s performance was quite evident throughout Saturday’s baseball outing at Southwestern in Hanover. The Raiders led briefly but were stunned 14-7 in the Rebels’ season opener.

“We didn’t hit the ball. We didn’t field the ball. We didn’t throw the ball. We didn’t catch the ball. It’s as simple as that,” Ragland said following the game.

Trimble County Lady Raiders Coach Walter McHargue hopes his young softball team can quickly mature into a well-oiled machine and win some ballgames.

In an interview following Trimble’s third loss in four outings McHargue said his team has two returning seniors—Raegan Black and Jana Dunlap—from last year’s team that finished the season with a 12-17 record.

Trimble’s net teams are hoping for an exciting tennis season this spring after what Coach Vanita Fogle called “an adjusting and learning year” in 2010. The veteran coach returns as girls’ mentor and adds the responsibility of helming the boys’ tennis program.

“The boys’ team had two to graduate last year with the rest of the boys being freshman,” Fogle said. “They will be bringing back a lot of good experience and ability they matured with from last year. I am looking forward to coaching the boys.”
