Today's Sports

In the last column I wrote, I ended by saying that watching the All-Stars play several nights in district and state competition made me miss playing myself.  Well, last weekend, I was able to play two days of softball, satisfying my craving for a while at least.

The Lebanon Country Club and Lincoln Homestead State Park golfers squared off to decide who would take home the 14th annual President's Cup this past weekend. Last year, the team from Lebanon took home the cup, and would need to merely split the points with the Springfield squad to retain the cup. Heading into the 2012 challenge, the Springfield team held a 7-6 overall advantage in total cup wins. On Saturday, the two teams played the best ball and scramble portions of the challenge in Springfield and finished up with the alternate shot and individual portions in Lebanon.

Saturday evening we held our annual Mid-KY Bass Anglers evening tournament on Willisburg Lake. This one started at 6 p.m. and lasted until midnight.
While the purpose of this evening tournament was to allow us to fish at a time when we wouldn't have to contend with the heat, that was all that was accomplished!
While it was indeed more comfortable, the productivity was way down. Out of seven boats, only seven bass, that were keepers, were caught.

The Kentucky Little League state tournament games scheduled for tonight have been postponed due to storms.

The tournament is being played in Prestonsburg. Marion County's 11-12 baseball team was scheduled to play Knox County tonight, but that game has been rescheduled for Wednesday.

As a result of the delay, the state semifinals will be played Thursday and the finals are scheduled for Friday.
