    Each near photo-perfect black and white drawing has some red in it. 

    Some are mere dots of crimson.  Others are splashes of scarlet.  Still more drip drops of rubies. 

    No matter the subject, each has a “touch of red.”  Through April 15, you can see these cardinal kisses in the pencil artwork at the latest Community Enrichment Through The Arts (CETA) Artist of the Month exhibit at the Grant County Tourism Office Art Exhibit:  “A Touch of Red” by Don Hurd.

  • Lady Braves dominate Lexington Catholic

    During his time coaching the Grant County High School softball team, Ott Reed had never lead a team to a win against Lexington Catholic.

    That changed on April 8 after the Lady Braves defeated Lexington Catholic 12-3.

    “It’s a special win for this team,” Reed said. “But they came in flat. My players put the finger on them in the first inning and would not let up. The hitting is special on this team.”

    The Lady Braves scored in the first inning when Morgan McClure ripped a triple to score three runs.

    The Williamstown High School baseball team set a goal of advancing past the first round of the regional All “A” tournament.

    They made that goal a reality with a 4-1 win over Eminence on April 9.

    “I think we went in overly confident and got surprised a little bit,” coach Aaron Biddle said. “But it was a good team win.
