  • McKay to step down

    A man who has been a fixture of the Marion County High School boys basketball team will step down after this season.

    Josh McKay, a former head coach and long time assistant for the Knights, recently filed his paperwork to resign at the end of the season.

    McKay served as a head coach in the mid 1970s and returned as an assistant coach in the early to mid 1980s for Tim Davis.

    Since then, McKay has prowled the sidelines for every other coach in the program's history including Davis, Kelly Wells, Greg Williams, Brad Fraser and current Head Coach Tim Peterson.

  • Lady Knights beat Lady Cards

    The Marion County Lady Knights (16-4) took care of business as usual Friday night at the Roby Dome, closing out district opponent Taylor County (10-11) early and finishing district play unbeaten.

    "I think our speed hurts them," Lady Knights Head Coach Trent Milby said. "They don't have a true point guard. They're just not athletic enough and they have trouble against our press. We play them in the first round of tournament and we have to be ready to go or anything can happen."

  • Donkey basketball coming to Roby...

    Tired of watching regular basketball games? Don't fret. The Marion County High School girls basketball team is hosting a donkey basketball game at the Roby Dome on Feb. 21.

    What's donkey basketball? Easy. It's basketball played while riding donkeys, silly.

    Four teams (Marion County High School, TG Kentucky, Spring View Hospital and the Area Technical Center) will compete in four-on-four battles while atop stubborn four-legged friends.

    The Marion County High School swim team competed in the Region 3 Swimming and Diving Championship held in Versailles on Feb. 6-7.

    "Despite the weather cutting into critical practice time, we had a really good season," said Coach Colleen Ryan. "Everybody improved their times at regionals and all worked really hard. I'm really proud of Tommy Carrico, who broke the high school 100 freestyle record at regionals, and Annaliece Mattingly, who broke the high school 100 backstroke record at the Hardin Invitational Meet in January. I'm looking forward to next season."

  • Ladies thump Adair, Taylor;...

    The Marion County Lady Knights were able to use their game Saturday against Sacred Heart in the Raatz Fence Classic at Mercy High School as a measuring stick for their success this season.

    Unfortunately for the Lady Knights, the results came up short.  

    "We didn't come ready to play. It looked like they were just out there. It was a total team effort. It was all of them. It was awful," Head Coach Trent Milby said. "They picked us apart. We didn't put any pressure on them, they out rebounded us, they out hustled us."
