The Henry County Wildcats visited Spencer County Friday night and found themselves in a familiar position. After one quarter of play the Wildcats trailed the Bears 17-9.

Just two nights earlier the Cats trailed by seven points to Bullitt Central before falling behind by as much as 21 points in the game. In that game the Cats made a furious rally to pull within three points, but it was too little too late and the Cats lost by seven.

The Eminence Warriors hosted the St. Francis Wyverns on Thursday night and came away with a 21-point win.

The Warriors got out to a four-point lead at 17-13 in the first quarter and maintained it going into the locker room at halftime.

“In the first half we missed a lot of layups,” Coach Chris Nethery said. “We should have been up by more.”

The Warriors shot better in the second half and made some defensive adjustments that paid off as they pulled away from the Wyverns.

Two local high school football players signed letters of intent last week to play college football.

Corey Roberts of Eminence High School and Billy Collier of Henry County High School signed their letters at ceremonies held at their respective schools.

Roberts, who played offensive line, linebacker and defensive end in his four-year career at Eminence, signed with Campbellsville University in the school library on Thursday evening while family, friends, coaches and administrators looked on.

When the Henry County Wildcats hosted District 30 rivals Gallatin County on Jan. 28, poor free throw shooting by the host Wildcats was their ultimate downfall. Henry County hit just 10 of 25 free throws for 40 percent while the visiting Wildcats hit 24-32 for 75 percent.

“We missed 15 free throws and lost by eight points,” Coach Enoch Welch said. That tells the whole story.”
