Marion County is the defending state champions in the 9-10 year old Little League softball division, and this year’s team took the first step toward defending that title on Saturday.
Marion County’s 9-10 all-stars defeated Washington County, 12-2, in the first round of the district tournament in Russellville.
Marion County pounced on top of Washington County, scoring seven runs in the first inning and extending its lead to 11-0 after two innings of play. The game was called after four innings due to the 10-run rule.

Had a chance to go fishing with about two dozen Girl Scouts Friday. We caught a bunch of sunfish on little worms. That’s if you call two and three-inch fish fun to catch. Well, Jeremy Bowman and I got to see first-hand how much excitement a fish that size can generate. The squeals and laughter were genuine and brought back some pleasant memories.

The Brain Injury Alliance of Kentucky, along with Bob O’Daniel, will host an event entitled, “Understanding sports concussions” at 6 p.m., Thursday, July 25, at Angelic Hall in Lebanon. The event will help those attending to identify symptoms consistent with a concussion and how to properly treat the athlete who has signs of a concussion.
