  • Shipley hopes to keep his event...

    The aspect of the 300-meter hurdles race that Zach Shipley relishes the most isn’t the start or the finish.

    “Warm-ups are pretty much my favorite part,” Shipley, a Shelby County junior, said Wednesday. “I love checking in. They [the other hurdlers] always look at me because I’m the shortest person there. I say, ‘That’s me,’ and I’ll just walk out. Everybody’s head will just turn because they don’t picture me [being fast].”

  • Titans complete district sweep

    The Collins baseball team had one of its best games of the season in one of its biggest games of the season.

    The host Titans pounded out 12 hits, got a solid effort from Austin Perry on the mound and played almost error-free in the field in their 9-2 victory over cross-town rival Shelby County in a key 30th District game Thursday night.

    “I felt like we had a complete game,” Collins Coach Roy Bailey said. “Pitching, defense, hitting, I felt like we did a little bit of everything and put it all together.”

  • ‘I got a chance to rebuild...

    To Jason Couch, Shelby County already feels like home.

    That’s because Couch, 40, who was introduced as the Rockets’ new coach Wednesday afternoon at the high school, is from a similar-sized town in southern Indiana and, he said, that was one of the reasons why he left Louisville power Eastern to take over for resigned Rick Parsons.

     “I’ve never met anybody who has had anything bad to say about Shelbyville,” Couch said. “For me it’s like coming back to my hometown. That was a huge draw for me and my family.”
