  • Good spirits

    When the Henry County Wildcats met the Eminence Warriors on Dec. 9 a large crowd showed up well before tipoff of the varsity game. In fact it was probably the largest crowd that many of the players involved in the junior varsity game had ever performed before.

    A large crowd is no surprise when two rivals play but this crowd seemed larger than usual. Two things could have contributed to the higher than usual turnout.

  • No Regrets

    I’m kicking myself for wimping out on making a bold prediction in my last column. I had it all written up and was ready to go with it when doubt started creeping in. The prediction was that the UK football team actually had a chance against the Louisville Cardinals.

    With a bowl trip at stake and Louisville coming off an emotional win in South Bend, I thought the Cats might actually pull off the upset. I also thought the bye week would help them get healthy and rested. Looking back with 20-20 hindsight, I realize now those were legitimate thoughts.

  • Warriors down Demons

    sports@hclocal.com

    The Eminence Warriors hosted the Williamstown Demons Dec. 2 and came away with an 84-68 win in their season opener.

    The Warriors used their superior depth and quickness to pull away after a slow start that saw the Demons jump out to an early lead as four EHS players picked up three fouls in the first half.

    But one thing Warriors’ coach Chris Nethery has been banking on this preseason is his ability to plug in any number of talented young players and not miss a beat.

  • Wildcats win opener in overtime...

    sports@hclocal.com

    The Henry County Wildcats started the season in nail-biting fashion with a come from behind overtime win over the North Bullitt Eagles at home Dec. 2. The Wildcats actually had to make two comebacks to get their season off to a good start.

    Eventually, it came down to a Jackson Jeffries 3-pointer from the top of the key. Jeffries shot hit nothing but net with less than 10 seconds to go and forced the game into overtime. In overtime the Wildcats dominated the Eagles 7-0 to win the game 55-48.

  • EHS girls fall to Owen

    sports@hclocal.com

    The Eminence Warriors girls’ basketball team opened the 2014-15 season at home against Owen County Dec. 1 and came out on the wrong side of a 49-8 final score.

    The young Warriors fought valiantly but their inexperience made it difficult for them to score against the taller, deeper Lady Rebels.

    Owen County used good man-to-man defense in the first half to jump out to a 39-4 lead. The Warriors played better defense in the second half and held the Lady Rebels to just 10 points.
