    While most outcomes in sports are unpredictable, one thing was certain last Friday night in Springfield. Either the 0-2 Washington County Commanders or the 0-3 Taylor County Cardinals were going to win their first game of the season. After 48 minutes of play, it was the Cards who came away with a 28-27 win.

    In addition to the Commanders coming up one point short on the scoreboard, junior back Quan Turner ended the night three yards shy of setting a new WC single-game rushing record.

    What's in a name?

    The idea for this week’s column started in the same way that many of them do. My mind usually drifts off into space while I’m sitting around waiting for a play to happen or a golf pairing to clear the fairway. This week is no exception.

    “It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.”

    That is one of the oldest sports cliche’s in the book, and if any game were a prime example of that phrase, then the Washington County Commanders’ home opener against Western Hills last Friday night was a textbook case.

    The Commanders got off to a quick lead when junior receiver Quan Turner ran the ball for a 56-yard yard touchdown. Junior Seth Mattingly’s extra point gave WC a 7-0 lead 49 seconds into the game.

    Sometimes, when a team is down and feeling weak, the best thing for them to do is pick themselves up by picking on a weaker opponent. And that’s just what the Washington County Commanderettes needed last Tuesday night.

    After going 0-5-1 last Saturday in the Marion County Tournament and losing 0-2 at Central Hardin last Monday, WC, which hadn’t won since Aug. 22, was hungry for a victory as the 0-10 Lady Tigers of Bardstown looked for their first win in Springfield.

    Both Washington County boys’ and girls’ golf teams hit the links last week in match play.

    The boys hosted teams from Campbellsville and Taylor County at Lincoln Homestead Golf Course. The Cards came out on top as Taylor County shot 163, while WC finished with a 170 and Campbellsville finished last with 200.

    Some individual performances have been outstanding for the Commanders as Aaron Spalding has already qualified for the state tournament Oct. 5-7 at Bowling Green Country Club.

    The St. Catharine College men’s golf team held the lead after the first day of last week’s golf tournament hosted by Georgetown College at Cherry Blossom Golf Course. But the Patriots couldn’t hold on for the title as the host Tigers overtook them to win the 36-hole event by nine strokes.

    “They wanted to win so badly,” said SCC coach Joan Rizer, “but just didn’t put two rounds together.”
