  • Warriors find their swing against Paris

    In a week where the Eminence Warriors struggled with hitting, they perked up with a strong 10-3 win over Paris.

    “We knocked the leather off the ball in this game,” head coach Mark Payton said, noting that the team hit .411 on the game, one of their best performances of the season.

    Paris jumped out to a 2-0 lead in what Payton said has become a pattern for the Warriors: get down early, settle down, come back.

  • Lady Cats avenge Gallatin loss

    The Henry County Lady Cats were still smarting from an 11-0 spanking at the hands of Gallatin County when they took the field against the team from Warsaw on Wednesday, April 25.

    The pain reliever for that spanking would be a defeat over their district rivals in the first round of the North Central Kentucky Conference tournament.

    And that’s exactly what they did, despite finding themselves in a hole early. They fought back to get the 5-4 victory in extra innings.

  • Warriors 2-1 in tough week

    In a steady rain, the Eminence Warriors put a 13-2 hurtin’ on Bardstown High School last week.

    “We played in a steady rain, which is never fun, but the girls stayed focused and played really well,” head coach Bill Covington said.

    The Warriors got out to an early lead, and built upon it in the shortened game. Morgan Smith had two hits, Kelsie Craigmyle had a hit; Brenna Raisor had a hit; and Shelby Dees, Covington said, hit the ball well. The team’s defense was strong, he added, and the team committed just one error.

  • ‘30 ft. is my living room’

    Twenty years ago, Paula and Brad Crawford talked about how one day the road in front of their home would need to be rebuilt.

    The couple both worked with the EMS in New Castle and knew a change was needed.

    “I have seen many wrecks. We knew Henry County was growing and with traffic coming from out of Oldham County traffic was going to get busier,” Crawford said.

    It’s going to be hard for Paula Crawford to let go of the house her and her late husband Crawford built in 1981.

  • Fiscal Court considers $5.8m budget

    With a few relatively minor changes, the Henry County Fiscal Court has approved the first reading of the 2012-2013 county budget.

    Henry County Judge Executive John Logan Brent told the court that EMS revenue is down about $250,000 from where it was in the past. Three years ago, he said, revenue was over $600,000 just for EMS, thanks primarily to non-emergency transports.

    As the economy worsened, the number of those transports dropped.
