  • HC Ladycats still looking to get...

    With Friday night's 35-32 loss to Gallatin County, the Henry County girls' basketball team dropped to 2-9 overall, 1-3 in district play and took a seventh straight defeat.

    Henry's Jessica Booher swished a three-pointer basket, her third from the exact same spot in front of the rowdy high school fans in the corner, to give Henry a 13-7 lead midway through second quarter. But the Ladycats, who stayed in front for much of the game, wasn't able to put Gallatin away, and with 2:10 remaining in the fourth quarter, Gallatin knocked down a three-pointer to take the lead for good, 32-30.

    Sports editor

    After a slow and rocky start to the 2007-08 campaign, the Eminence girls' basketball team managed to put a check in the win column last Thursday night when the Lady Warriors defeated Riverside Christian, 42-33.

    It was their first win this season, which saw the young Warriors drop their first seven games.

    Sports editor

    The 2007 Henry County Wildcats celebrated one of their best football seasons on record with a 9-4 overall record, regular-season and playoff district titles and two playoff wins - the first two in the program's history, which dates back to the early 1960s.

    Now, that success is not going unnoticed.

    Sports editor

  • Christmas, the hardest day to...

    It's a proven fact: the hardest day to work, and least productive, is the last day of work before Christmas.

    This 'tis true.

    I can't get my mind off flying reindeer, Santa Claus, presents and potlucks. Like many others, I'm not in the mood to work my final day before my brief Holiday break. But here I am anyway, trying to clear my mind and type these words.

  • HCIT in action

    If you build it, they will come.

    I'm not talking about a baseball diamond in the middle of a corn field - like in the 1989 film Field of Dreams - but a high school basketball gym in the middle of New Castle. Long before the movie was released, before Kevin Costner became a household name and before the if-you-build-it line became a catch phrase, there was a gymnasium built.

    And after it was built, they did come.

  • Shorthanded Warriors no match...

    The Eminence Warriors were without their head basketball coach, two starters and first player off the bench last Friday night at Restoration Christian School in Sellersburg, IN.

    And it showed on the court as the Warriors took an 87-34 loss and dropped their overall record to 1-5.

    Eminence starters Nelson Hedges and Dallas Roberts missed the game, along with six-man Brock Roberts. Keith Blackburn was also absent on the sideline after receiving two technical fouls the previous outing.

  • Martin not worried about...

    The Eminence Lady Warriors dropped three more basketball games last week, which gave them a 0-6 start to the 2007-08 season and 50 losses in the previous 52 tries.

    But coach Carter Martin, who took over the struggling program a year ago, isnt concerned with the win-loss columns right now. Instead, hes concerned with the squad getting better, and prepping the young team for games down the road.

    "The scores might not indicate what the team is learning," Martin said, "but from a coaching perspective, I see a little bit of improvement each game, which is a good thing."

  • Wildcats earn first district win...

    For the first time this season, the Henry County Wildcats played with intensity all four quarters last Tuesday night against the visiting Carroll County Panthers. And in the end, it led to a 68-57 win over Carroll in the Wildcats' opening home game of the season.

    Henry put three players in double figures - Cody Hinkle with 23 points, Cari Dunaway with 13 points and Ben Roberts with 10 points - and forced Carroll into 21 turnovers in the up-and-down game. The Wildcats were ahead by as many as 21 points late in the third quarter, and cruised in for the 11-point victory.
