After a solid high school play at LaRue County High School, Danielle Brown has become a solid contributor for the Lady Patriots of St. Catharine College near Springfield.

Brown, who played her high school senior year for Lady Hawk head coach Travis Wootton, now plays for Lena Bramblett where she averages 9 points and nearly 6.5 rebounds a game.

“After taking the year off she has really dedicated herself to getting better,” Bramblett said of her redshirt sophomore. “She has confidence on offense that she didn’t have before.”

Good outside shooting from senior Christian Seymour and some timely late baskets from Tyler Hornback led the LaRue County Hawks to defeat of the Central Hardin Bruins. The win brought the Hawks to 12-0 for the season.

Seymour buried 5-of-7 3-pointers and Hornback scored seven fourth-quarter points as the host Hawks held off the Bruins, 58-48 in the championship game of the eight-team National Guard Holiday Classic.

The Lady Hawks softball team will hold tryouts for their freshman team for all girls in fifth through ninth grades 2-4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 28, in the new sports building on the LaRue County High School campus. The building is behind the baseball field.

For more information, contact coach Amanda Hayes at 270-234-3303.

Bring gloves and bat. Cleats are not allowed in the building.

Bryan Bault hit four free throws with under 30 seconds to go in LaRue’s first-round 18th District game Monday night at Hart County, helping salvage a 53-47 win for the No. 1 seeded Hawks over the host Raiders.

“He was huge,” said LaRue head coach Paul Childress, speaking of his 6-3 senior. “He’d been struggling from the line all year, but he came through tonight in the clutch.”
