Jim McKee, third from right, of Turners Station, and nine other Kentuckians traveled to Eugene, Ore. July 23 through July 28 to officiate at the World Junior Track and Field Championships.

The 10 USATF Kentucky officials were the highest total sent by any association to the contest.

Who says you can’t go home?

I wouldn’t call myself a country music fan. I wouldn’t really say I’m a huge music fan in general. Growing up, my parents would more often than not just drive in silence or have conversation, rather than listen to the radio or CDs.

My grandfather, though, listened to music constantly in the car. When he would pick me up from school, which he did, more than anyone else, we would listen to country music all the way home.

Woods giving back to his school

Many successful homegrown athletes leave Henry County and never look back. Zach Woods, however, returned home after a highly successful academic and athletic career at Centre College to do what others in the community had done for him.

Woods, who graduated from Henry County High School in 1992, was a two-sport star for the Wildcats. He was a four-year varsity letterman in football as well as being a three-year varsity letterman for the basketball team. He was named the Ross Wallace Male Athlete of the Year in his junior and senior years.

Henry County is home to many...

In my career as a reporter/editor, I tend to learn things organically, by visiting with people in the community and hearing their points of view.

After all, no person can know everything. Going to the sources, to the experts, and getting to benefit from the knowledge they’ve accumulated over the years can open a person’s eyes in short order.

MacKenzie Peyton continues to play solid golf as her senior season at Henry County High School approaches. Since winning the Henry County Country Club Championship with a club record score of 67-76-143, last year’s state runner-up has competed in two tournaments.

On July 19-20 in the Team Challenge at Old Bridge Golf Course in Danville, Peyton teamed with Kaitlyn Riley of Anderson County to shoot 65-67-132. The score was good enough for a tie for first.
