  • Big rally pushes Titans to 19-0

    The Collins baseball team made it 18 and 19 in a row with a pair of victories on the road last weekend, topping Elizabethtown, 9-2, Friday and rallying to beat Fairdale, 10-7, Saturday.

    Before achieving that 19-0 start to their season, though, the Titans had to score five runs in the top of the seventh to beat the Bulldogs (7-11).

    Zac Wiley’s 2-run double was the go-ahead hit for Collins, which trailed, 3-0, after the first inning, 5-2 after the second and 6-2 after the fourth.

    The Shelby County softball team equaled its victory total of last season with a 4-2 triumph over Trimble County on Monday in Bedford.

    Sydney Wright picked up the complete-game victory on the mound. Wright, a freshman, gave up one earned run on eight hits while striking out four.

    Meanwhile, senior Ari Jones and freshman Abby Wills led Shelby County’s 7-hit attack with two apiece.

  • Another rally, another victory

    Once again the Collins baseball team found a way to win – and stay perfect – Tuesday night.

    The Titans broke a 2-2 tie with two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to beat visiting Louisville Eastern, 4-2.

    The victory improved Collins, which is ranked fifth in the Kentucky Prep Baseball Report Top 25 and seventh in the Kentucky High School Baseball Coaches Association Top 25, to 17-0.

    Once again the Titans were led by their pitching and timely hitting.

  • COOK: Kentucky at center of...

    ATLANTA – The best basketball is played in the Bluegrass.

    That’s perfectly clear after the University of Louisville men’s team beat Michigan, 82-76, here Monday night to capture the national championship one year after its neighbors to the east – the University of Kentucky – had claimed the crown.

  • 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.

  • Shipley sets his route to Murray

    When it came time to decide which college he wanted to attend, Shelby County senior Zach Shipley was focused on the “F’s” – football, fit, future and fun.

    Those were the primary factors in his decision to attend Murray State University, where he will play football. 

    “It was the best fit,” Shipley said.

    A standout quarterback and defensive back for the Rockets, Shipley was recruited by the Racers to be a slot receiver, a position he played early in his career at SCHS.

  • Unforgettable was incredible

    Incredible. Improbable. Implausible. Incomparable.

    Ever since Tuesday night’s 8thRegion Tournament first-round game between the Collins and South Oldham boys’ basketball teams, which the Dragons won, 85-82, in overtime, I’ve been trying to come up with the proper words to describe it.

    The best answer is probably that there aren’t enough apt terms to do that, or to even do it justice.
