After dominating the Bardstown Tigers by 20 runs in the teams’ first meeting, it seemed as if the Washington County Commanderettes would cruise to their 11th victory of the season in last week’s district matchup.

But it was the Tigers who controlled the game early on, taking an early 4-1 advantage through two innings.

The Rev. Cal Adams was living in Louisiana when he first heard about Washington County’s Bible Read-a-Thon, and he immediately became intrigued with the idea.

“I thought it was one of the greatest things I’d ever heard of,” Adams said, reflecting on when his father- and mother-in-law, Bobby and Kathy Gabhart, first told him about the annual event.

When Springfield Products Inc., began operations in June 1991, there were approximately 60 employees and the factory only made one piece of equipment: armrests for automobiles.

In the past 25 years, though, SPI has seen some major changes.

For one, it is now known as INOAC Group North America. 

This past weekend, the Washington County tennis team took part in the annual Heartland Conference tournament at Campbellsville High School. Three individuals from WC played in singles matches, with junior Chase Drury picking up the squad’s lone win in the event.

After receiving the second seed in the tournament and a bye in the first round, Drury was victorious in his second-round match against Marion County’s Hank Hardin, winning in straights sets (6-3, 6-1).
