  • GCHS track and field battle through bad weather

    Neither rain, nor wind, nor miserable conditions could stop Grant County High School’s track and field team from performing at their best.

    The Braves faced horrible weather when they competed at the Walton-Verona Tri-Meet on April 14 against the Bearcats and Owen County.

    “We did well, considering the conditions,” coach Brian Soules said. “The cold isn’t as bad as the wind. When the wind kicks up, that’s where you start to mentally break down. It sucks the life out of you a little bit.”

  • Doc Scroggins and Amazing Jane

    “I plain wanted to be a country doctor and I never regretted the choice,” Doc Scroggins said. But, the truth is, though he was a country doctor, his influence stretched throughout the United States and flowed into Europe, Asia and anywhere else that there was wildlife and farmland.

    Doc Scroggins’ medical career had him mending the aches and ills of Grant County for half a century. He was president of the League of Kentucky Sportsmen, president of the National Charlois Association and president of the National Wildlife Federation.

  • Lady Braves fall to Simon Kenton

    Katelyn Roy was matched up in a pitcher’s duel when Grant County High School’s softball team faced district opponent Simon Kenton.

    The Lady Pioneers came out on top, winning 2-1 on April 16.

    “I told the players that we can look at it like we played the defending district champs 2-1, but if we want to look realistically at it, they had three hits and we had one hit with 15 strikeouts,” coach Ott Reed said. “Their pitcher pitched the game of her career.”

    It all started with two young girls making potato chip sandwiches in the basement of Lawrenceville Baptist Church because they had nothing to eat at home.

    “Their older sister told them that if they wanted something to eat, they had to see what they had at church,” said Lisa Holt of Manger Ministry. “That was all we had there at that time. We saw there was a need so we developed Manger Ministry from that.”

    With support from the church and private donations, Manger Ministry is in its fourth year of providing food for community members in need.
