  • SCC softball fighting for...

    The Mid-South Conference softball tournament starts April 25 in Kingsport, Tenn. and Holly Smith is hoping her St. Catharine College Patriots are part of that event. But that won’t be determined until possibly Monday when the Patriots play Campbellsville to conclude the regular season. The top eight teams will make it to the conference tournament.

  • MSC seeding up for grabs for Bat...

    One thing is certain. The St. Catharine College baseball team will be playing in the Mid-South Conference tournament in Kingsport, Tenn. starting April 25. As to what seeding the Bat Pats will garner – who knows?

    “Right now we can end up anywhere from fourth to eighth place,” said SCC skipper Luther Bramblett. “There is still a lot to be determined from the upcoming weekend.”

  • ‘The king of the squat’ sets...

    You’ll see Washington County sophomore Davon Moore on the gridiron this fall, possibly manning both the offensive and defensive lines for the Commanders. Regardless of what he does on the football field next season, however, it will be tough to top what he’s been doing in the weight room.

    Moore recently broke a long-standing record at Washington County High School and it’s pretty obvious that he’s going to shatter his own record in the near future, probably time and time again.

  • WC softball gets Mudd back, but...

    The Commanderette softball team (4-7) is coming off a forgettable week where the bats were lacking in three losses. Games scheduled on Wednesday and Thursday were rained out, while Washington County took a 13-2 loss to Elizabethtown (6-7) and a 3-2 loss at Campbellsville (4-9) on Tuesday and Friday, respectively.

    The most recent, though, was a 3-0 loss to Pulaski County (8-6-1) at Idle Hour Park on Monday night.

    Game highlights: Washington County baseball (9-8) made easy work of Burgin (0-3) on Monday night, run-ruling the Bulldogs in five innings, 15-0.

    There will be a new Fifth Region Class A baseball champion this season.
    Three time defending Washington County was sent to the sidelines Monday night when they were eliminated by Green County 5-3 at Idle Hour Park.

    The visitors were able to secure the win despite being without the services of ace pitcher Brennen Milby.  The Ohio State signee was sidelined with a sore arm, and Commander coach Derek Schuler says his team responded to the news well.

  • SCC softball snaps skid, wins...

    One of the longest losing streaks in the history of St. Catharine College softball, a 10 game skid, happily came to an end last week for Holly Smith’s team. And the losing streak was replaced by a four-game winning streak as the Patriots record went to 16-18 overall.

    The Patriots began the week with four Mid-South Conference losses to Cumberland (Tenn.) and Campbellsville before sweeping visiting Union College in a non-conference doubleheader. They finished the week with a sweep at conference rival Rio Grande to go 4-4 for the week.

  • All in the Cards

    It’s the year of the Cardinal. As I sit here with 12.9 seconds left in the national title game and watch Peyton Siva sink a pair of free throws to put away Michigan for Louisville’s third championship in school history, that’s all you can really say. This was UofL’s year and there wasn’t much that was going to stop them.

    There’s no university hotter right now, honestly. They just locked up a long coveted men’s basketball title and the women’s team may be right behind them, depending on Tuesday’s result after press time.

  • Patriots hit 30-win mark again

    In his first year (2002) as baseball coach at St. Catharine College, Luther Bramblett’s Patriots won 26 games. In the 11 years since then, including the current campaign, the Bat Pats have won at least 30 games each season.

    That streak continued as Bramblett’s bunch won four of six games last week to improve to 30-13. A win over Berea on Tuesday was followed by a doubleheader sweep Wednesday at IU-Southeast. The Bat Pats the traveled to # 25 Lindsey Wilson College for a three game Mid-South Conference last weekend where they won one of three games.
