  • Collins softball team beats Owen...

    Sophomore Shelbi Poehlein went 2-for-3 with a double, home run and three RBIs to lead the host Collins to a 7-4 victory over Owen County on Tuesday afternoon.

    Freshman catcher Janelle Hynes and sophomore Sam Veal added two hits apiece, and junior Lindsey Ketcham scored two runs for the Titans (11-13).

    Senior Lauren Shepherd picked up the victory on the mound, pitching a complete game and allowing one earned run on five hits, while walking one and striking out seven.

  • Bruner gets another hit, signing...

    Last week Shelby County Coach Bart “Rudy” Roettger recalled the first time he saw Kam Bruner play baseball.

    It was several years ago, a short time after Roettger took over as the Rockets’ head coach, when he went to an 11-year-old all-star game in Lexington.

    “I saw this little chubby guy who could just flat swing the baseball bat,” Roettger, who is in his sixth-year at Shelby, recalled with a laugh.

  • Titans have ‘Big’ rebound from...

    “Big” Dan Sanders comes by his nickname honestly.

    He is 6 feet 4 and 225 pounds, and so far this season he has lived up to that moniker – not only in stature but also in performance – for Collins’ baseball team.

    Monday evening Sanders was sizable once again for the Titans – giving up three hits while striking out six – in their 5-0 30th District victory over visiting Spencer County as they bounced back from their first loss of the season (6-2 at Grant County last Thursday night).

  • Rockets expand on earlier victory

    It was another clean sweep Friday for the Shelby County tennis teams.

    The Rockets’ boys’ and girls’ squads beat their Collins counterparts for the second time this season, the boys’ sweeping, 5-0, and the girls’ squeaking, 3-2, at Clear Creek Park.

    Shelby County won both matches late last month, 3-2.

  • Rockets surpass 2012 victories

    The Shelby County softball team picked up a pair of victories, including a key district triumph.

    The Rockets blanked host Spencer County, 8-0, Thursday in a 30th District game in Taylorsville before rallying to beat visiting Henry County, 5-4, Monday at the Shelby County Athletic Complex.

    Freshman Sydney Wright tossed a two-hit shutout, and got plenty of run support, as the Rockets routed the Bears (1-10, 0-1).

  • Shutout, close loss to PRP not...

    Despite going 1-2 at the Doc Morris Invitational, last weekend wasn’t necessarily a bad one for the Shelby County baseball team.

    That’s because after a 13-2 loss to Covington Catholic on Friday at St. Henry, the Rockets rebounded Saturday to shut out the host school, 9-0, and then play “one of the better baseball games I’ve been a part of in a while,” according to Shelby County Coach Bart “Rudy” Roettger in a 6-5 loss to highly ranked Pleasure Ridge Park.

  • Rockets shine at high-powered...

    Against some of the top competition in the state, and even some from out of state, the Shelby County track & field teams – as well as a handful of Collins boys – held their own Saturday at the Heart of the Bluegrass meet.

    The Rockets’ boys’ team won one event and had several other top-10 finishes, as did their girls’ squad, at the University of Kentucky’s Shively Track Complex.

  • Collins’s softball team rallies...

    Freshman Janette Hynes scored the game-winning run when Lauren Shepherd’s ground ball was misplayed in the bottom of the seventh inning Monday, as the Collins softball team rallied for a 2-1 victory over visiting Carroll County.

    It was the fourth last-at bat victory of the season for the Titans (10-13).

  • Rockets bag the Bearcats

    The one common denominator in the Shelby County baseball team’s three losses this season has been early deficits.

    The Rockets made sure they didn’t face one Tuesday night, scoring three runs in the top of the first inning on their way to a 7-4 30th District victory over Anderson County at the Shelby County Athletic Complex. The game was played in Shelbyville due to field issues in Lawrenceburg, but the Bearcats were still the home team.

  • The boys of spring are shining

    In the words of the great Harry Caray, “Holy cow!”

    That’s about the best way to describe the high school baseball being played in the county this spring.

    Heading into Thursday night’s game at Grant County, Collins sported a spotless, 20-0 record. Shelby County, meanwhile, goes into tonight’s contest against Covington Catholic with an 18-3 mark. That’s a 38-3 combined record.

    To play off one of Harry’s other famous phrases: That could be, it might be, it is… .amazing!
