  • HCHS wins one, loses one in 1st...

    It was a mixed bag for the Henry County Wildcats opening week. In three games last week, they lost one, won one, and a tie that was suspended due to darkness.

    The Cats opened the week with a come-from-behind win, thanks in part to strong play from Seth Williams.

  • Lady Cats go 1-2 to open season

    Softball season is underway for the Henry County Ladcats, who opened their season last week with a 2-1 win over Trimble County.

    Later in the week, they fell 4-3 to Grant County and 3-2 to Oldham County.
    In the home opener, the Cats capitalized on errors by Trimble to squeeze out 2 runs on a couple of hits.

    The Raiders scored their only run of the game after a scoreless first inning. Their first base-runner made it to second on a 2-base error. The runner came home on a slow-roller to first that the Cats misplayed, putting Trimble on the scoreboard.

  • Lady Cats split a pair with...

    Before heading to the beach for spring break, the Henry County Lady Cats split a pair of games with district rivals.

    The Henry County softball team played district rivals Carroll County and Gallatin County last week before heading south to compete in the 17th Annual Florida Beach Classic at Fort Walton, Florida. The Lady Cats came away with a 6-2 victory against Carroll Tuesday, March 27, before falling to Gallatin County 5-3 two days later. On Sunday the team found the going rough against Heath as they fell 9-0 in the first game of their spring break tournament.

  • Rough week for Bat-Cats

    The Henry County baseball team faced a tough schedule last week and it showed in the results of three games. The Cats went 0-for-3 and in a couple of the games were beaten badly.

    By the end of the week, the Cats began to show signs that the defense was coming around but the offense was still looking a little anemic.

  • Best friends Payton, Sailings...

    Surrounded by friends and family, Henry County High School seniors Jared Payton and Austyn Sailings signed with Asbury University Monday afternoon.
    After signing, Sailings joked that he was following Payton to the small Wilmore-based University.

    But the joke was only partially tongue-in-cheek. Payton and Sailings have been friends “practically since birth,” an observer noted.

    Payton said he chose Asbury in part because the small school felt like a good fit, and that he would fit in well there.

  • Comeback Cats take NCKC

    The Henry County Wildcats last week won the NCKC tournament, largely on come-from-behind wins, to continue a hot streak that began April 27.

    Since that game — a 5-4 win over Grant County that, technically, began on March 19 — the Cats have won eight of their last nine games.

    The lone loss in that streak came on Monday last week in a 4-1 loss. The week was capped with a 8-5 win over Trimble County to take the NCKC crown.

    After comeback wins against Walton-Verona and Owen County, the Cats squared off against the Raiders of Trimble County.

    When the dust settled from last week’s regional track meets, three Henry County Wildcats earned their way into the state meet.

    The Cats hosted the Region 3 Class AA meet last week on their newly refurbished track. The region is a tough one, with teams from North Oldham, South Oldham and Collins, each of which had a strong showing. Top finishers qualified for the state meet, which will be Saturday, May 18, at the University of Louisville track.

  • Lady Cats on a late season run,...

    Heading down the home stretch of the softball season, the Henry County Lady Cats wrapped up a 3-1 week with a dominant win over Simon Kenton.
    Saturday, the Lady Cats hosted a round robin competition.

    Henry County opened the day with a tight 5-4 win over Grant County.

    The game was close throughout, but the Cats nearly gave it away in the top of the seventh when Grant County scored two unearned runs to take a 4-2 lead. The Lady Cats came back to rally for three runs in the bottom of the seventh to snatch the victory.

  • EHS plays ‘best game of season’...

    At the beginning of the season, the Eminence softball team’s goals included their first win over a district rival under head coach Bill Covington.

    Last week, at Gallatin County, they achieved that goal.

    From the outset, Eminence played a solid game, and went on to beat Gallatin 14-6.

    “We hit the ball, we caught the ball,” Covington said. “We limited our mental errors, and we just had a good, all-around game.”

  • Adams signs with Pikeville...

    Eminence senior Todd Adams began his playing career at Eminence High School as a rusty seventh grader.

    In the years since his first game with the Warriors, Adams has come a long way, coach Mark Payton said. Payton added that Adams’ hard work has paid off — two weeks ago, the senior signed a one-year scholarship with Pikeville University, where he will play baseball.
