  • Rockets ready to blast away

    It may be very difficult to unseat powerhouse South Oldham, but the Shelby County boys’ tennis team should be among the best in the 8th Region this season.

    That’s because the Rockets return all but one of their key players from last spring, when they went 18-2 during the regular season.

  • Titans can’t close the deal

    GOSHEN – For three quarters the Collins girls’ basketball team had Simon Kenton befuddled, baffled and – most importantly – behind.

    In the fourth quarter, though, the Pioneers flipped the script.  

    Simon Kenton outscored the Titans, 14-6, in the final period – holding them without a field goal for the first 7 minutes and 23 seconds – of its 41-36 victory at North Oldham on Monday night.

  • Davis, UK rifle take shot at...

    LEXINGTON – The University of Kentucky is known for a championship attitude when it comes to athletics, and one former Shelby County High School student is helping the rifle team to reach its second national championship.

    Connor Davis, a freshman at UK, has helped the rifle team obtain a No. 2 national ranking.  

    While at SCHS Davis won the 2011 Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corp (JROTC) National Championship along with finishing first in small-bore in the Junior Olympic Rifle Championships.

  • Spring sports popping up

    It hasn’t felt quite like spring outside lately, but that won’t stop the high school spring sports seasons from starting.

    Collins’ baseball and softball teams both have scrimmages scheduled for Saturday. The Titans’ baseball team hosts Portland Christian at 6 p.m., and softball plays at North Oldham at noon before it hosts South Oldham in a scrimmage Tuesday afternoon.

  • Roberts’ hard work earns victory

    GOSHEN – No matter when or where Collins girls’ basketball coach Phillip Conder has spied Michelle Roberts this basketball season, he has had a message for her. 

    “Even if I saw her in the hallway [during school], I’d say, ‘You’ve got to work on those free throws,’” Conder said.

    Wednesday night those reminders and Roberts’ work paid off. She hit one free throw with 1.6 seconds left to lift Collins to a 44-43 victory over South Oldham in the first round of the 8th Region Tournament at North Oldham.

  • Titans know all about foe

    Phillip Conder and Aaliyah Wells will face a familiar foe tonight.

    For the third time in their four seasons together, Conder, the Collins coach, and Wells, his standout senior forward, will meet South Oldham in the first round of the 8th Region Tournament. The Titans and Dragons will tip off at 6 p.m. at North Oldham.

    If the first two regional quarterfinal games are any indication the third could – and should – go down to the wire. Those first two meetings have been decided by a total of five points.

  • Titans ‘get to fight 1 more time’

    The Collins girls’ basketball team wouldn’t go down without a fight Friday night.

    However the Titans couldn’t quite get over the hump, either.

    Second-ranked Anderson County outlasted Collins, 47-34, in the 30th District Tournament final on the Titans’ home court.

    The Bearcats (29-1) built a 15-point halftime lead. Collins (15-14) cut that to nine twice in the fourth quarter but couldn’t get closer.

  • Titans get 'revenge,'...

    In the Collins boys’ basketball team’s first game against Anderson County in early January, the Titans were outmuscled, outhustled, outshot and outscored. 

    In Friday night’s rematch – in the 30th District Tournament final – Collins used an all-around team effort and a big second quarter to avenge its earlier loss to the Bearcats and capture its second consecutive district title, 63-51.

     “We wanted revenge, and we wanted to cut down the nets,” Titans senior forward Dez Marshall said.
