  • Lady Rockets finish round, poised to advance

    The Shelby County girls' golf team finished their first round of play Wednesday with a team score of 347, which should be enough to advance to the second round of the State Golf Tournament at Bowling Green Country Club.

    The top 11 teams make the cut. Shelby County is currently at No. 6 on the board, but is second among teams that have finished their rounds.

    The KHSAA decided to have the second round tee off today at 1:30 p.m. CDT, instead of calling the tournament after 18 holes as had been expected.

  • SCHS falls, 4-0, to No. 17 Anderson - Girls loose focus on senior night

    SCHS Coach Joe Turner said he's not sure why, but every time his girls' soccer team faces a talented squad its focus is solely on defense.

    "We have trouble against talented and skilled teams because they [his players] just want to fall back and play defense," he said. "We just pack in the back and don't get out on offense at all."

    That's exactly what happened on Monday as the Rockets (9-7-1) fell 4-0 to visiting Anderson County (15-2-1, ranked No. 17 in the state).

    The scene in the lobby at the Shelby County Courthouse was the same as usual for Todd Davis on Thursday.
