    Washington County vs. Bardstown
    Score:
    87-42 Bardstown
    When: Tuesday, Jan. 22
    Where: Washington County High School
    Key players: WCHS – Alex Marshall
    Game highlights: The Washington County boys (4-15) were able to hang around with the 5th Region All-A Classic champion Bardstown (19-6) through the first half, but intermission was unkind to the Commanders as the Tigers put the game on ice in the third quarter.

  • SCC wins two in Buckeye state

     

    The St. Catharine College men’s basketball team journeyed into Ohio last week and cracked the Buckeye State for two Mid-South Conference victories. The Patriots won at Rio Grande 69-66 Thursday and followed that with an 80-72 victory Saturday at No. 24 Shawnee State in Portsmouth.

  • WC girls win one, drop two

     

  • Patriot women split pair of road...

     

    The St. Catharine College women traveled to Ohio for two Mid-South Conference games last week and left with a split of the two contests. After taking an 88-77 win Thursday at Rio Grande the Patriots dropped a 75-63 decision Saturday at Shawnee State.

  • Pats mauled by No. 2 Pikeville,...

     

    Less than four minutes into Thursday’s game at Pikeville, the host Bears turned a St. Catharine turnover into a basket for an 11-9 lead. And that was the story line for the night as the Patriots committed a season high 25 turnovers in falling 87-69 to No. 2 Pikeville.

    After gaining that early lead, the Bears (17-1, 8-1) never trailed again as they built a 42-27 halftime lead. St. Catharine (6-9, 2-7) never got closer than ten points in the second half as Pikeville shot 53 percent after intermission and 52.5 percent for the game.

  • Patriot women crack rankings

    It is what every team works toward – a national ranking. And in the fifth year of participation in the NAIA, and Mid-South Conference, that is exactly what the St. Catharine College women’s basketball team received for the first time last week.

    For the Patriots, 25th in Tuesday’s poll, it is well deserved as they won five consecutive contests which included three against teams that were ranked in the top-25. But head coach Lena Bramblett is cautious in her exuberance over the honor.

  • Commanders bring in North...

  • No. 25 SCC women push win streak...

     

    Last week the St. Catharine College women enjoyed their first appearance in the national rankings as they were ranked 25th in the NAIA poll. But they nearly didn’t get to enjoy their new status long as they avoided an upset bid Thursday at Pikeville.

  • WC girls top Shelby Co., snap...

     

    Washington County vs. Shelby County
    Score:

  • Patriots out of MSC cellar

     

    The St. Catharine College Patriots won just one of the two games last week against Mid-South Conference visitors from Ohio, but that one victory was enough to pull J.T. Burton’s team from last place in the MSC into a tie for eighth place among the 11 teams.

    Shawnee State (9-7, 6-3) topped the Patriots 68-59 on Thursday, but St. Catharine snapped a three-game losing streak on Saturday with a 73-67 win over Rio Grande (6-12, 2-7).
