  • 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!

  • Davis shoots for, wins gold

    Shelbyville’s Connor Davis added another award to his ever-expanding trophy case Tuesday.

    The 2012 Shelby County High School graduate and University of Kentucky freshman won the gold medal in the National Junior Olympic men’s 10-meter air rifle competition at the 2013 National Junior Olympic Shooting Championships in Colorado Springs, Colo.

    Davis shot a 593 on the first day of competition, which put him in second, but scored 591 on the second day to take a 2-point lead on University of Alaska-Fairbanks shooter Ryan Anderson.

  • Sanders’ 2-hitter leads Collins...

    Dan Sanders was “the man” Tuesday afternoon.

    The Collins senior tossed a two-hit, 10-strikeout shutout as the Titans won their 20th straight game to start the season, blanking Belfry 6-0.

    Of the 97 pitches Sanders threw 67 went for strikes. He also tossed 17 first-pitch strikes to the 25 Pirate batters he faced.

  • Vogel, Zehnder make college...

    Collins senior Shelby Vogel signed to play women’s soccer for Georgetown College last Thursday in the high school’s library.

    Vogel was the most valuable player for the Titans last season. The midfielder led Collins in scoring and helped them to a 17-3-1 record last fall.

    “I’m really excited about the next chapter in my life,” she said. “Soccer wasn’t the only thing I was looking for, I just happened to love Georgetown’s coach and team. It worked out really well, it had everything I wanted.”

  • Titans fall into too deep a hole

    Come-from-behind victories have been commonplace so far this season for the Collins softball team.

    However most of those have come after some sluggish starts by the Titans.

    Collins had another of the latter but not the former Monday afternoon, when visiting Anderson County rode a 5-run first inning to a 10-4 victory in a key 30th District game.

  • Tates Creek cools down Rockets

    It was a slow start but a strong finish for the Shelby County baseball team Saturday.

    The Rockets fell to Tates Creek, 12-6, but bounced back to beat Conner, 9-2 – even though their coach wasn’t around to see much of it – in the Harrison Memorial Hospital/McDonald’s Classic in Cynthiana to improve to their record to 16-3.
