  • Lady Hawks blank Caverna - twice

    Good pitching and timely hitting is always a good recipe for a successful softball team. The LaRue County Lady Hawks did both in their win over the Caverna Lady Colonels last Wednesday in a 10-run, five-inning victory. 

    LaRue had seven base hits to go along with three walks in scoring the 10 runs. At the same time, Amelia Miller struck out seven batters while allowing just two singles in five innings.

  • Freshman ‘T-baby...

    Tesha Paysen didn’t believe her University of Louisville softball teammate Megan Hornback last week when the catcher told Paysen she had made the Lady Cards’ starting lineup.

    “I never look at the lineup, because I’m a freshman,” said Paysen, a 2008 LaRue County High School graduate. “Megan is a cutup, always joking, and I thought that she was joking this time, too.”

    But when Paysen, nicknamed “T” or “T-baby” by her teammates, took a peek at the lineup, there she was, starting in left field.

  • 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.

  • 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.
