  • New coach, same team lead WC...

    They may have a new head coach in the dugout this season, but the 2013 Washington County softball team will look very similar to the 2012 version except they’re a year older and ready to make a push for the 19th District title.

    “At this point we have everyone back,” said first-year Commanderette Head Coach Paul Coulter. “We have one senior who’s been out with a torn ACL, but we’re hoping to have her back some time during the season.”

  • Commanders turn to small ball in...

    Washington County baseball — 18-19 (15-4 in the 5th region) last season — has gotten their opponents’ attention in recent years, winning the last two 5th Region All-A tournament crowns and coming within a run of back-to-back 19th District titles last season.

    It won’t be the same WC team taking the field in 2013 with a core group of seniors departing since last year, but that doesn’t change expectations for coach Derek Schuler’s group.

  • Howard, Poirier make first team...

     

    St. Catharine College seniors Janae Howard and Reilly Poirier were selected yesterday to the first team All Mid-South Conference. It was the first time Poirier gained the first team honor while Howard made it for the second consecutive year.

    Howard, an Owensboro native, averaged 19.4 points and seven rebounds a game for the Patriots, even while hampered by leg injuries throughout the year that kept her out of seven games entirely and limited her minutes in most other games. She was selected twice this season as the Mid-South Conference Player of the Week.

  • Not-so-lucky draw: WC faced tall...

    In Kentucky high school basketball, some teams just have the luck of the draw. Other teams, however, don’t have luck on their side and, well, they draw the top-ranked Marion County girls’ basketball team in the first round of the regional tournament.

    That was the fate of the 2012-13 Commanderettes, who fell to the Lady Knights in the 5th Region tournament last Thursday night.
