  • Titans turn to their good Buddy

    CRESTWOOD – Collins senior Buddy Johnson says he never feels pressure, and he proved that Monday afternoon.

    Johnson’s huge relief effort helped the Titans escape a late jam and slip past host South Oldham, 7-6, in the first round of the 8th Region Tournament.

    It was the third 1-run victory in a row this postseason for Collins.

    “There’s something about this team, they find a way to win,” said Titans Coach Roy Bailey, whose team played Simon Kenton on Tuesday evening in the 8th Region semifinals.

  • Titans can’t run down victory

    LAWRENCEBURG – Scoring runs rarely has been a problem for Collins’ softball team this season.

    It was, however, Monday, as Gallatin County edged the Titans, 3-2, in the first round of the 8th Region Tournament at Anderson County.

    “It’s very reflexive of our season,” said first-year Collins Coach Suzanne Cates, whose team ended its 2013 campaign with a 19-20 record. “We just couldn’t put all three parts together. Today we had pitching and defense but couldn’t find the sticks.”

  • Collins runs out of chances in...

    LAWRENCEBURG – The Collins softball team came up just short in its quest for a second district title.

    Host Anderson County outlasted the Titans, 8-6, in the 30th District Tournament final on a sometimes rainy Thursday night.

    The Bearcats built an early, 7-2 lead, then held off Collins’ comeback in a matchup between the past two district winners (Anderson won last year, the Titans in 2011).
