  • 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.

    If, in fact, it was the last college game for seniors Janae Howard and Reilly Poirier they went out with a bang, albeit in a losing effort, when St. Catharine fell 78-63 Thursday to Shawnee State in the first round of the Mid-South Conference tournament held at the Frankfort Convention Center.

    Howard scored a game high 33 points with 12 rebounds and Poirier had 14 points and 10 boards. Both players had been named to the All-MSC First team the day before the tournament began.

  • Softball 1-3 to start

    Holly Smith knew her St. Catharine College softball team would be in for a battle last weekend as they welcomed the Indiana Wesleyan University Wildcats for a four game series to open the season. But even though the Patriots dropped three of the four games, they were in position to win all but one of the contests.
