  • Streaking Titans ‘come together’

    It has been an up-and-down season for the Collins softball team.

    The Titans won four of their first five games but then lost eight of their first 11 games to begin April.

    Collins, however, won for the third time in its last four contests Monday night, slamming crosstown-rival Shelby County, 14-1, at the Shelby County Athletic Complex.

  • Shipley leads Rockets at Eastern...

    Shelby County senior Zach Shipley led the way for the Shelby County boys’ track & field team at the Eastern Relays, which took place Friday and Saturday at the University of Louisville.

    Shipley captured the 300-meter hurdles with one of the fastest times in the state this season – 39.33 seconds. That wasn’t far off the 39.19 run by North Hardin’s Dante Johnson against Shipley in the Heart of the Bluegrass meet on April 20.

  • 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!

    ATLANTA – The best basketball is played in the Bluegrass.

  • Pitino finally ready to deliver...

    Twelve years and 15 days ago Rick Pitino was hired as the men’s basketball coach at the University of Louisville.

    For Cardinals fans everywhere the question wasn’t “When will he lead us to a national championship?” it was, “How many national titles will he lead us to?”

    If you would have told them then that UofL wouldn’t win a championship in any of Pitino’s first 11 seasons (and that he had stayed for 11 seasons, for that matter), you would have likely been laughed at.
