  • McHargue works to rebuild team

    A lot of success that happens within the foul-ball boundary lines in fast-pitch softball has a lot to do with the pitching and catching.

    Trimble County High School Lady Raiders softball Head Coach Walter McHargue, as of right now, said he believes his ptichers and catchers aren’t up to the standards he wants. But, he says, if they continue to work hard, they will be ready to go by March 26 season open at home against the North Oldham Lady Mustangs.

  • Chism replaces Poynter as TCHS...

    After four very productive seasons as Trimble County High School’s head football coach, Johnny Poynter took a new coaching job at a high school closer to home.

    Poynter resigned his coaching position in January, but continues to teach at the high school.

    Under Poynter’s direction, Trimble snapped a 27-game losing streak, getting in a couple wins in the 2005 season, setting the tone for the next three seasons to come.

    Dreams of a state-championship victory were shattered in the third year, when quarterback David Bird was injured.

  • Trimble County Youth League...

    This is a reminder for all the youngsters that plan on playing tee-ball, Minor League, and Little League this year for the Trimble Co. Youth League. There is still time to get your sign-up forms in. Our try-outs will begin at noon on March 14. We plan on having the try-outs at the Trimble County Park, weather permitting. If bad weather (rain), the try-outs will be at the Bedford Fire House, behind the Bedford Bank. Please give enough time to check the park first, even if it rained in the morning.

  • Failure teaches important life...

    The days are getting longer and warmer, and spring sports are just getting started as basketball, the winter sport, is finishing up.

    A trip over to the Carroll County High School ballfields last week found the baseball team grooming their field, the softball team practicing, members of the track team working on their various events and the girls tennis team dodging the gaping cracks on the court as they practiced.

  • Fans' misbehavior didn&...

    The Lady Panthers may have been out-scored and out-sized in the 8th Region tournament, but the girls and their Carroll County fans outclassed Anderson County, hands down.

    High school sports should bring out the best in competition, and good sportsmanship; occasionally it does just the opposite. That was the case Monday night when CCHS played Anderson County at South Oldham High School.

    A group of about a dozen Anderson County roughnecks sitting on the Carroll County side of the gym harangued and harassed the Lady Panthers the entire game.

  • Carroll girls lose district...

    In the championship game of the 31st District tournament, Carroll County’s Lady Panthers lost in double overtime to Owen County by a mere 30-38.

    The Lady Panthers had trouble all night with turnovers, fouls and shots not falling.  

    The Lady Rebels jumped out to an early lead, by scoring eight unanswered points, the Lady Panthers knotted the score at nine by the end of the first quarter.

    At the end of regulation, the score was tied at 21, proving that neither team was lighting anything up.

  • Wildcats take third win against...

    The Panthers were within seconds of advancing in the 31st District Tournament, but were foiled by Henry County Wildcats for the third time this year.

    The border rival team entered the Carroll County High School gym that was bursting with fans for the second game on the night, and squeaked out with a 42-43 win.

    “There’s only one team that gets to end their season with a win, and everybody else ends up with a loss,” Head Coach Carroll Yager said. “We had hoped to go a little further.”

  • Senior Nights less than stellar...

    Senior Night marks the end of regular season play and sometimes the end of a career. So participants always expect a win, but neither of Carroll County High School’s varsity basketball teams got that wish last week.

    The Walton-Verona Bearcats and Lady Bearcats made sure of that.

    The Panthers on Thursday, Feb. 19, led most of the first half of their Senior Night game. Chris Hendrick scored first for the Panthers, adding bucket after bucket as he and Bearcat Jordan Ponzer contributed 26 points each for their teams.

  • Blue Lightning strikes at home

    The Villa Madonna Blue Lightning came into town Tuesday, Feb. 17, and handed the Lady Panthers a second loss on their home court.

    The 46-27 final score left little doubt that the Blue Lightning had the upper hand in the contest, as they chalked up their 19th win for the season.

    Though the Lady Panthers clinched the North Central Kentucky Conference title Feb. 14, the girls team played flat against Villa Madonna. Their usual smothering defense was a no-show; their shooting was markedly off.

  • Devine named NCKC player of week

    Lady Panther Hannah Devine recently was named North Central Kentucky Conference player of the week.

    The Carroll County High School freshman scored 40 points and grabbed 16 rebounds during varsity games with Oldham County and Williamstown that week, Head Coach Randy Mefford said.

    Devine also won the award as an eighth-grader.  She has been on the varsity squad since seventh grade, and teams in the eighth region are well aware of her skills.

    Mefford says Devine sits the bench during freshman games and encourages them, gets them water and is their cheerleader.
