  • Turkeys stay safe, away from...

    O.K. Score: Turkeys = several, me = zero. Oh, I saw birds, plenty of birds. But, they were either very young (small Jakes) or they hung up on me.
    Course the Jakes got to looking better the closer to season’s end it got. They also got wiser and the last week of the season even they started to hang up!

  • Mix it up

    Normally, I think of one topic to write about and have a normal title for my column.  However, this week, I didn’t want to just write about the Kentucky Derby, so I thought of two other ideas to go along with the Run for the Roses.
    First, since I already have the derby on my mind, I will begin there. This past Saturday was not the best of conditions for the event, as it rained pretty much the entire day. Since Karli and I couldn’t go outside and play, I tried to watch as much of the 139th Kentucky Derby coverage as possible.

  • Knights take two of four

    Last week, Marion County hosted John Hardin on April 29 and Washington County on May 1, before going on the road to play Garrard County Friday and Bryan Station Saturday.  The Knights (16-10) won two of the four contests.

    Bryan Station 14, Marion County 4
    Despite having fewer miscues than host Bryan Station, the Knights gave up 14 hits and five walks, and lost, 14-4, Saturday.
    “We had a beautiful day to play in Lexington but we were simply flat and lacked energy,” Marion County Coach Chad Spalding said.

  • Epps is AP girls player of the...

    Marion County High School point guard Makayla Epps recently was voted as the 2013 Associated Press Kentucky girls basketball player of the year.  
    She said that she set team goals as her main focus this past season, and all the individual goals added to it.  
    Joining Epps on the first team is teammate Kyvin Goodin-Rogers, both of whom are Kentucky signees.  
    Other members of the first team include Rebecca Greenwell, China Dow, and Larryn Brooks.   The girls’ coach of the year honor went to Nicole Levandusky from Notre Dame.

  • Track teams close strong

    The Marion County track team competed in their final two meets of the regular season as they gear up for regional competition, which begins tomorrow.  
    The Knights won their final home meet of the season with 149.5 points, while the Lady Knights finished third with 76 points.
    “We got some kids some experience in events they haven’t been competing in,” assistant coach Daniel Johnson said.  “I thought everyone did a great job of going out and competing despite it being our third meet in six days.”
