  • Hawks struggle in Louisville

    The LaRue County Hawks participated in the Louisville Invitational Tournament last weekend at Pleasure Ridge Park, dropping both games to strong competition.

    In the opener, the Hawks participated in a slugging lottery with Henry Clay only to fall 23-15.

    LaRue’s Slade Owens was chalked with the loss from the mound but no one would have ever thought Henry Clay would scoot 23 runs across the plate.

    “All hitting and no defense or pitching,” LaRue Coach Chris Price said.

  • Tennis teams fall in conference...

  • Freshmen whip North Hardin and...

    The LaRue County freshman baseball team hosted an invitational last weekend in Hodgenville blanking both North Hardin and Marion County. The Hawks’ only loss was to Male High School.

    In the six-inning format, LaRue’s game with North Hardin was called 10-0 in four innings because of the mercy rule. The Hawks benefited from the aggressive pitching of Kyle Meredith who threw a two-hit shutout.

    Freshman Stephen Carter was 1-1 with two walks complimented by teammate Jesse Johnson who was 3-3 at the plate scoring three runs.

  • Tennis teams defeat Bardstown,...

    The LaRue County tennis teams improved their records last week with wins over both Bardstown and Campbellsville.

    The boys’ team (4-3) defeated Bardstown 4-1; the girls (3-3) won 5-0.

    In singles, Dylan Parr claimed an easy victory for the Hawks, 6-2, 6-0. Caleb Canter won his match 8-3.

    The LaRue County Lady Hawks softball team faced three very strong opponents last week in Central Hardin, Hart County and Nelson County, winning one game and losing two.
