In a couple of weeks, the Kentucky Horseshoeing School will close the heavy wooden doors of its 31-year home in Mt. Eden and head to a new facility near Lexington.

Shelby County suffered a 74-32 defeat to Bryan Station (10-3) Tuesday night at home.

Senior Taylor Shaw led the Lady Rockets (5-10) with 11 points. Leeara Cardwell had six points.
