The LaRue County Lady Hawks softball team enjoyed its spring break in Florida while playing three very tough Florida teams. 

Gov. Steve Beshear signed HB 383 into law. The new law includes a measure that requires high school coaches to complete a sports safety course on how to prevent common injuries.

“This is an important piece of legislation that I hope will protect the health and safety of our student athletes,” Beshear said. “I applaud the sponsors for their efforts to protect our students from the dangers of heatstroke, illness and injuries incurred while participating in sporting events through the bill’s requirements for proper training and equipment.”

If the first regular season game is any indication, the LaRue County Lady Hawks softball season promises to be an exciting one. Behind seven strong innings from freshman pitcher Amelia Miller and some timely hitting from the offense, the Lady Hawks pulled out a 3-2 victory over a top 25 Edmonson County team.

It was off to sunny Florida for the LaRue County High School baseball team as they participate in the Florida Beach Bash all this week.

LaRue will play against a field of mostly  Kentucky teams. They dropped their first game Sunday against Lexington Lafayette 8-2.

“We used five of our pitchers and did it really to see what some of the guys looked like on the mound while we were down here and learned a lot about them,” Coach Chris Price said.
