  • Through the wringer

    The Washington County boys’ (2-5) and girls’ (4-3) basketball teams have faced their own set of challenges through seven games, but both have been tested by teams that have helped gauge where they stand heading into the Christmas break.

    The Commanders are likely to be involved in a three-team battle for the three seed in the 19th District with Nelson County and Thomas Nelson at season’s end, so already having a 2-0 record against those teams puts Washington County in the driver’s seat for the rematches in January and February.

    Springfield native Kate Spaulding has had plenty of success since joining the Lindsey Wilson College swim team in 2011, but recently the sophomore had her biggest moment yet as a swimmer, not once, but twice.

    Spaulding and the Blue Raiders traveled to Brenau, Ga. last month for a meet, where she posted a time of one minute and 11.28 seconds in the 100-yard breaststroke and a time of 2:34.58 in the 200-yard breaststroke. Both times were good enough to qualify Spaulding for the national “A” standard.
