  • Coach Kasten says team not where...

    It has been an up-and-down start for the Henry County volleyball team through the first two weeks of the season, but coach Jon Kasten said his Ladycats are improving and have plenty of time to get better before the 28th District tournament — the focal point to a questionable season.

    The Ladycats opened 2010 with a 2-0 loss to newly-formed Martha Layne Collins High School on Aug. 10, then beat Western Hills (2-0) last Monday and Anderson County (2-0) on Tuesday, and lost to Trimble County (2-0) on Thursday for a 2-2 start after week two.
