    Though  there were several heroic moments in the regional baseball games, James Wright certainly had more than his share.

     

    Wright, a left-handed-hitting senior, stroked a 2-run, walk-off single to defeat North Oldham, then started the first comeback against Anderson County with a home run in the bottom of the sixth. In the 11th inning, it was Wright who came in to pitch and get the final two outs (both batters grounded out). He hadn’t pitched but a couple innings all season.

    Collins High School can break out the history book in a big way.

    The school opened its inaugural football season Friday with a 48-16 thrashing of Sheldon Clark.

    Wide receiver Tavis Elzy said the dominating performance left him speechless.

    "Just unbelievable," he said. "I'm at a loss for words."

    The first football victory in school history came before the kickoff, when school namesake and former Gov. Martha Layne Collins herself flipped the coin that came up in favor of the Titans.

    Shelby County’s boys soccer team lost its third consecutive match Tuesday evening, falling to district rival South Oldham High School, 10-0.

    The game was called around the 16-minute mark of the second half, when the Dragons scored their 10th goal, and the officials enacted the mercy rule.
