  • Lady Pats go cold in Fla.

    The St. Catharine College women got a break from the snow and cold last week as they traveled to Ave Maria University in Naples, Fla., for two games. But while Lena Bramblett’s Patriots enjoyed the warmer climate, they didn’t enjoy the outcome of their games.

    On Wednesday, they took on the host Ave Maria University Gyrenes and fell 71-62. On Thursday, they lost a 60-57 decision to Kentucky’s Brescia University.

  • Patriots beat Bellarmine

    Although the game will not even show up at the end of the season when one looks at wins and losses, St. Catharine’s 79-74 victory over Bellarmine last Wednesday will reverberate for quite some time for the Patriots’ program.

    While it was a regular season game for Scotty Davenport’s Knights (8-1), ranked number one in NCAA D-II, it is an exhibition game on the schedule for J.T. Burton’s team. But that didn’t take away from the luster of the huge win.

  • WC has its own BIG Three


    It’s not easy being tall.
    Well, at least according to the tallest members of the Washington County High School girls’ basketball team.

    Senior Kayla Edelen, sophomore Kenya Turner and freshman Jennifer Keene all tower above opponents.
    Combined, they are over 18 feet tall.
    Separately, they all measure 6-1 or better.
    “Probably, we are the biggest team in the state, I would say,” Commanderettes head coach Bernard Smalley said.
    Edelen said being tall causes “people to get on you more.”

  • Commanders battle Bardstown


    Washington County will face one of the hottest teams in the region on Tuesday when they host district rival Bardstown.

    The Tigers (4-2) are a hot team but will come into hostile confines as Washington County High School will host a homecoming crowd that night.
    Bardstown is under the direction of new head coach James “Boo” Brewer.

  • Patriots to tangle with NCAA...

    Today at 4:30 p.m. (EST) Burton’s bunch will play the Bellarmine Knights, a team currently ranked No. 1 in NCAA D-II. Then Thursday the Patriots will play Southern Indiana University that is ranked No. 15 among NCAA D-II schools.
