GCHS sends 3 wrestlers to state

While they didn’t bring home the gold, the Grant County High School wrestling team was well represented at the state championship meet held two weeks ago at the All Tech Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.
Seniors Brady Fryman, Austin Gripshover and Joey Roundtree put together impressive displays at the state meet. Fryman won his first match before being defeated, while Gripshover and Roundtree more than held their own before falling.
In the end, the competition was just too experienced for the Braves, who are only in their fourth year of existence.

Crittenden woman’s quick...

A routine trip to the dog groomer turned out to be anything but routine for Nancy Owens recently.

Owens, of Crittenden, was driving along Mary C. Grubbs Highway in Walton with her Boston Terrier, Sparky, when she noticed a van in front of her kept hitting their brakes.
“I saw a lady jump out and jump in the backseat and heard her screaming,” Owens said.
Owens got out of her car and ran to the other vehicle.

You can’t have that, it’s mine

In our editorial conference room at the newspaper I write for, during reporter staff meetings I sit in the end seat nearest the door.

It’s not necessarily the best seat at the table; it’s just mine. It’s where I sit.
A few weeks ago, I walked into a reporter’s meeting and Mike, another reporter was in my seat.

Arrest made in Crittenden home...

A 23-year-old man is facing charges after being arrested in connection with a Crittenden home invasion in which the owner was tied up in his bathroom.
Jacob W. Sharp of Crittenden was indicted March 5 by a Grant County grand jury on charges of second-degree burglary, theft by unlawful taking of $500 or more and second-degree being a persistent felony offender.
The charges stem from a Feb. 11 invasion of the Alexander Road home of 65-year-old Larry Brown, who told police he answered his door only to be tackled while in his wheelchair by an unknown white male.

Grant County student body...

Although the Grant County Lady Braves suffered a loss to Oldham County recently, the school and students gained the respect and admiration from the visiting team’s coach for their actions that night.

The lesson didn’t come on the basketball court, but from the sidelines when Addison Ballard, the Oldham County girl’s basketball team manager, began shooting hoops, his true first love, during half time.
