  • SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: To the Victor

    “That’s J-A-R-R-E-T-T.”

    Jarrett Mattingly likes to specify how to spell his first name because “most people have a hard time with it.”

    Count fellow senior Brent Young in that group.

    “I didn’t know that’s how you spelled it,” Young said.

    Mattingly, who starts on the offensive and defensive lines, started playing football when he was in sixth grade because that’s what his family has always been into.

  • SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: Frustratingly...

    Seth Robinson had always thought golf was an easy game, at least he did before he first tried it.

    Once he picked up a club, though, he soon found out how wrong he was.

    “It seemed easy,” Robinson said. “You just hit the ball with the club. But there’s so many different aspects to the game, just with your wrists and how anything can affect how you hit the ball.”

    Robinson, who was “born and raised” in Springfield, had this revelation during his freshman year of high school.

  • Commanders fall to CAL, Mother...

    The WC Commanders were competitive against yet another elite squad, trailing the CAL Centurions by only 15 at the half, but they just couldn’t sustain their momentum…again.
    The Commanders ended up with a 44-0 loss.

    “We just can’t finish games,” Head Coach Eric Sagrecy said. “We’re not consistent. We’ve got a few guys that play pretty hard, and we’ve got some guys that continue to make mental errors. As a staff, we’ve got to find a way to be successful for 48 minutes.”

  • SCC bounces back in big way,...

    The St. Catharine Patriots (1-4, 0-1 MSC) came into Sunday’s match with the Salem International Fighting Tigers (2-2) with a sour taste after battling the Bears of Pikeville to the bitter end.

    The Patriots didn’t take long to conquer their frustrations when a brilliant cross from Sawyer Abshire (Shelbyville, Ky.) was booted past the diving hands of the Tiger keeper by Ashley Woods (Manchester, England).

    From there, the Patriots showed a rejuvenated spirit, one which they had been searching for the entire year.

  • A busy week for Patriots...

    The St. Catharine Patriots stayed busy last week, hosting five home contests and sending one team on the road.

    The week kicked off with the Lady Patriots’ soccer team hosting the Asbury Eagles.

    Highlighted by keeper Lindsey Vinson’s nine saves and Courtney Anderson’s five shots, three on goal, the Patriots were unable to capitalize on their opportunities and fell to 3-1 on the year.

    In his first year as a starter for the WC Commanders, Dillon Milburn has impressed.

    It started with his first catch as a starting wide receiver against LaRue County, where he “ran a dude over.”

    It then escalated when the WC defense was bending against Elizabethtown, and Milburn decided to make sure it wouldn’t break, making a crucial interception with the Commanders only down by a touchdown.

    Amanda Cox was at a crossroads.

    She had quit playing both basketball and softball in seventh grade, but her mother thought she should take up another sport to fill the void that her two former activities would leave.

    And she insisted it be golf.

    “My sister Emily was interested in it, so she thought that I should give it a shot as well,” Cox said.

    It didn’t take long for her to take to her new sport because of the independence it allowed her.

    The DeSales Colts (4-0, 1-0) had a plan in Friday night’s 63-0 blowout of the WC Commanders (1-3, 0-1), and that plan was to run the ball.

    The Colts’ 63-point win, which set a DeSales record for winning margin, was due in large part to the tone set by running back Dylan Byrd.

    The Commanders were unable to contain the senior throughout the game, giving up 153 yards and two touchdowns to him on the ground and 42 yards and a touchdown through the air.
