  • FOOTBALL: LaRue falls to Shelby

    LaRue County didn’t get off to the best start Friday and the Hawks’ night didn’t get much better.

    Host Shelby County scored on its first two possessions before the Rockets pulled away for a 28-0 win at Robert Doyle Stadium and their first season-opening victory since 2007.

    It was also a frustrating night for LaRue County’s boys’ basketball team as its senior backcourt of Gabe Shirley (quarterback) and Kelton Ford (wide receiver) both suffered ankle injuries and didn’t return.

  • SOCCER: Hawks win season opener

     The first week of soccer matches saw good fortune for the Hawks of LaRue County High School. 

    The Hawks soccer team opened the 18th district season play Aug. 13 with an impressive 8-2 victory over the visiting Campbellsville Eagles. On the attack, seniors Alex Cook, Rico Collado and Marshall Metcalf continued their assault on the record books.

    Collado gathered his troops and fed a diagonal-running Metcalf with a pinpoint pass. At 5:32 p.m., Metcalf's score was perhaps the first score in the state.

  • Price steps out of baseball

    Until recently the sight of Chris Price working after hours at the baseball field was as common as a LaRue County Hawks 18th District Championship.

    Winning district has become expected in LaRue County baseball over the past decade and so has Price.

    The Hawks have captured 11 consecutive district titles.

  • Lady Hawks plan for season...

     It’s been a long and challenging road for the LaRue County High School volleyball team over the past year, but Coach Ben Schell and his 2012 team are ready to get back to prominence, and fast.

    After a 12-21 season last year, the volleyball program is ready to get back to those 26-11-type seasons the girls were having in previous years. The goal, according to Schell, is to win the district championship – something the volleyball team has never done at LaRue County High School.
