  • BASKETBALL ROUNDUP: Brewer, Tigers creates ‘Miracle’ win against PRP
    It could be deemed the ‘Miracle on 400, North Fifth Street’, as Bardstowns’ Alexis Brewer, knocked down the final shot of the game as time expired on Monday. The extraordinary bucket gave the host Tigers a 47-44 victory over PRP. What appeared to be an eternity of anticipation—her shot clipped the front of the rim, and trickled off the back brace, then came forward, teetering on the lip of the iron, until it was seemingly willed through the basket, as the horn sounded.

  • KENTUCKY STATE LITTLE LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIPS: NC 11s fall in semifinal heartbreaker
    BOWLING GREEN — The Nelson County All-Stars’ bid for the state 11-year-old Little League Baseball championship fell short in the semifinals Tuesday, as Owensboro Southern rallied from behind for a 14-12 win. The heartbreaking loss — by way of a walkoff three-run homer in the sixth — put an end to a strong two-year run by the squad. The bulk of the team was also part of the Nelson County 10-year-old group that fell in last year’s state finals. The team was the first from Nelson County to win consecutive district championships.

  • Good, dirty fun
    The steady downpour Saturday might have put a damper on some events at the Nelson County Fair, but not the Mud Run. “It didn’t hurt it at all,” said Lewis Cleaver, who managed the event for KOI Drag Racing of Owingsville. “It’s all about having fun.” Cleaver said the rain usually reduces the number of spectators, but that wasn’t true this time. Some got soaked, but stayed. “There was some hardcore fans for sure,” Cleaver said.
