The House Wren can get downright murderous as it finds a home.

The House Wren is a three-quarter-inch-long bird with a 6-inch wingspan, but it more than makes up for its small size by being very energetic as well as aggressive in its behavior.
Being migratory, they may arrive in Kentucky and start searching for cavities where they will nest after some of our local year-around residents already have taken up occupancy in their own cavities.
But that doesn’t stop the wrens, it seems.

The Shelby County boys’ basketball team got buried under a torrent of 3-pointers Tuesday night.

Host Christian Academy of Louisville hit nine of them on its way to an 82-53 victory over the Rockets.

And the first one the Centurions hit was the biggest. Leading Shelby County, 16-9, with 3 seconds to go in the first quarter, CAL quickly moved the ball to midcourt, where Ivan Talley buried a buzzer-beating three.

“That took a little out of our sails, and it was downhill from there,” Rockets Coach Rick Parsons said.

Branden Cresap quarterbacked the Collins football program to a memorable first season.

Now he will try to help another program follow up on its fine first season.

Cresap committed this week to play next fall for Lindsey Wilson College, which recently completed its inaugural season in NAIA, going 5-6.

“It’s a school on the rise,” Cresap said. “It’s exciting to go build something there. It’s a lot like coming to Collins. It felt like the right fit for me.”
