  • COLLEGE SPORTS: Seaman snaps record

    Samford University’s Michael Seaman, the former state champion pole-vaulter at Bardstown High School, notched one of the top marks in the country at last month’s Auburn Invitational when he cleared 17-08.5, a school record.

    The mark likely qualified Seaman, a senior at the Alabama school, for the NCAA Indoor Nationals (March 9-10) and also earned him a spot at this summer’s 2012 USA Track and Field Nationals, which features a mix of amateur and professional athletes competing. An 18-00.5 mark is the NCAA automatic qualifier threshold.

  • ST. CATHARINE COLLEGE: Pats start new year as road warriors

    An appropriate Christmas gift for the St. Catharine College basketball programs would have been a credit card for gasoline purchases. Both Patriot teams could put that to good use as they open the new year with three consecutive Mid-South Conference road games.

    Play begins Thursday with the Patriots visiting UVA-Wise. They follow that with Saturday’s game at Pikeville and continue their road trip Jan. 14 at Campbellsville. The first home game of the new year is Jan. 19 against Cumberlands.

  • COLLEGE SPORTS: Patriots drop two exhibitions to NCAA D-II opponents

    The St. Catharine Patriots squeezed two more games into the schedule last weekend before the team left for a much-deserved Christmas break.

    Lena Bramblett is certain her St. Catharine College women’s basketball team will heat up in two games this week. But Bramblett hopes the Patriots will get hot not just on the Florida beaches but on the courts as well as they are in the Sunshine State for games Tuesday and Wednesday.

    The Patriots, 11-3, played in Miami against Florida Memorial on Tuesday (after press time) and today will be in West Palm Beach to face Northwood University. Florida Memorial owns a 3-5 record while Northwood is 2-5.

  • RIVER RAT: Drake blossoming for top-10 'Cats

    Drake, the record-setting hoopster from Nelson County High School, had a rough go of it adjusting to the college game her freshman season with the Wildcats.
