  • Hawks’ playoff hopes...

    No matter what the LaRue County Hawks tried Friday night, they couldn’t get their running game going against the Marion County Knights.

    LaRue County, which entered the second round of the Class 4-A playoffs averaging 280 yards a game on the ground, was held to 104 yards in a 41-14 loss to Marion County in Lebanon.

    “We couldn’t get the ball going,” LaRue County senior fullback Ryan Wafford said. “We just weren’t getting a good push, and that went over to the defense, which was on the field a lot.”

  • Hawks advance in playoffs

    Small things can make a big difference in football.

    Extra points seem virtually automatic in professional and college football. In the Class 4A playoff win last Friday, successful point-after tries made the difference on the scoreboard as the Hawks defeated Valley High 35-32.

    Bo Haun was five for five following LaRue County scores. Valley had no kicking option and went for two after each score and the Hawk defense prevented most of the efforts.

    Still the game had tense moments as the host Jefferson County school came from behind to challenge the Hawks.

    Peterson clipped the Hawks for 115 yards on 14 carries, including two scores. On defense, he led his team with four solo tackles and nine assists.
