The Kentucky Volleyball Coaches Association recently honored Trimble County Lady Raiders Coach Ruth Staples as the Eighth Region Coach of the Year.

Staples and the coaches of the year from the other 15 regions around the state were recognized by Butch Cope, KHSAA Volleyball Commissioner, and the KVCA Coaches Association President, during the 2012 KHSAA State Tournament at Valley High School in Louisville, in ceremonies directly preceding the State Championship match last month.

The Trimble County Youth Tackle Football League ended the season in a bittersweet fashion.

The Junior Varsity Raiders beat the Campbellsburg Bengals 19-12 on Saturday to earn the right to play Sunday in the championship game against the Eminence Warriors 20-13. The game was well contested between the Raiders and the Warriors, but it would be the Warriors to come up with the victory in overtime.

Mark down another win for driver Steve David and the O Boy! Oberto/Miss Madison Racing Team!

This triumph came not at the end of a checkered flag with roostertails flying on the water, but rather during a conference call of the powers that govern Unlimited hydroplane racing. The board of directors of H1 Unlimited voted last week to accept the recommendation of the committee hearing the appeal of the outcome of September’s San Diego Bayfair to allow the appeal and reverse the disqualification of the Oh Boy! Oberto and reinstate that team’s victory.

The KCD Bearcats charged into the first quarter with three touchdowns, bringing the score to 22-0 by the end of the first half, despite a resurgent drive by the Raiders. The Bearcats continued their scoring streak throughout the first half, resting at halftime with a score of 43-0. Several of KCD’s scores came after missed tackles by the Raider defense.
