Henry Baughman Sr. once built his family a tennis court on their farm in Stanford. Now, 60 years later, one was built in his son’s name.

Lindsey Wilson College officially opened the Henry Baughman Tennis Complex with a ceremony on Oct. 8. The $425,000 project included expanding the courts from three to six, and adding lights, bleachers and a new playing surface.

Baughman made the lead gift to help fund the huge upgrade, and with his legendary tennis career was given the naming rights of the complex.

Henry County Middle School eighth-grader Mason Fish was cleared to play from a shoulder blade injury he suffered in October, and was a late addition to the East roster of the Kentucky Middle School Football Association All-Star Classic on Sunday, giving Henry County three total players.

Fish joined Eminence teammates Austin Jones and Justin Mitchell in the second annual all-star game for the best middle school footballers in Kentucky. This marked the first time HCMS had a representative, while Corey Roberts represented EMS in the inaugural game last year.

When the top middle school football players in the state line up to play in the annual Kentucky Middle School Football Association All-Star Game this Sunday, two Eminence players will be in the mix.

Eighth graders Justin Mitchell and Austin Jones were both selected to play for Kentucky East, who plays the West team in Frankfort, at the Kentucky State University  field, this Sunday.

Replacing an old concrete floor with a shiny wooden one, and bringing in two new basketball goals, the Eminence Community Life Center has gotten a huge upgrade during the last few weeks, highlighted by the official opening last Monday morning.

The floor and goals were finished one week earlier, but Monday signaled the first time action was seen on the court. The first bounce of the ball and bank shot sparked what should be an exciting move for the center, owned by Eminence Independent School and located next to the high school’s sports complex.
