  • Lady Knights look tough

    Marion County cruised to a crucial Fifth Region victory over Elizabethtown on Thursday at E'town to demonstrate their dominance over region opponents this season and advance their overall record to 24-1.

    A win over Taylor County on Friday night at Taylor extended their winning streak to 12 games.

    "We were a little sluggish and figured that would be the case," Lady Knights Head Coach Trent Milby said. "We were still playing pretty good considering. We played really good defense on them."

  • Mercy comes to town

    This week the Lady Knights face a familiar Fifth Region foe, a border rival and then play host to the number two team in the state.

    On Thursday night, North Hardin (10-11) comes to town. These aren't the same Lady Trojans that played the Lady Knights in the first round of the Fifth Region tournament last year. They've lost a few players along the way but still play a break neck style.

  • Epps featured in '96 Cats...

    Remember back to 1996. Remember Anthony Epps, Antoine Walker, Tony Delk, Ron Mercer and the rest of the Untouchables. It's easy to remember because Epps proved he was a winner on the high school and college level.

    Now it's going to be easier to remember that season when the '96 University of Kentucky men's basketball team won the NCAA championship. On Friday, the Derek Anderson Foundation presents the official blue carpet screening of the "Untouchables of Kentucky" documentary at the Hyatt Regency Ballroom in Lexington.
