    With the season opener three weeks away, the Grant County High School football team is still in the midst of finding its identity this week at their annual camp.

    "It's going well. The kids are working hard, and I'm pleased. We are getting better each day, but we still have a long way to go," coach Mike Davis said.

    The Braves, who compiled a 6-4 record last year, got in one full day in pads and helmets on Aug. 1 before leaving for Kentucky Christian University Sunday morning, for what Davis calls a "trying time."

  • Camacho made a name for himself...

    If it wasn't for a bad day at the swimming pool, Michael Camacho may never of found his way across the parking lot at Eagle Creek Country Club to the golf course.

    "I've been a lifelong member to Eagle Creek. One day when I was little, I got swimmer's ear and didn't want to go swimming. Instead, I went to the golf course, and I've been hooked ever since," Camacho said.

  • Lady Braves earn golf title

    If the first two matches are any indicator, the 2008 season could be a magical one for the Grant County girls' golf team.

    The Lady Braves opened the season placing fourth at a tournament at Shelbyville on Aug. 2 and captured the Beechwood Invitational on Aug. 4. At the Beechwood tournament, Grant County fired a team score of 377, due in part, to a 90 by Kodi Hall and a 91 by Katie Harrison. Hall finished third individually and Harrison finished fifth.

    "It was not great, but it was good enough," coach Marcus Camacho said of his team's total score.

  • Midnight Madness—GCHS...

    The last time anyone saw the Grant County High School boys' cross-country team, they were at the Kentucky Horsepark taking part in the KHSAA state meet.

    Coach Marlon Kinsey is confident fans will find his team in a similar setting this fall after opening practice at midnight on July 15.

    "I have been looking forward to the start of the 2008 season since our last guy crossed the finish line at last year's state meet. I can remember meeting the boys back at the tent following the race," Kinsey said.

    Having accomplished everything shy of winning the Super Bowl as a wide receiver of the New England Patriots, Randy Moss turned his attention to another form of competition Saturday, July 19.

  • Benson claims Built Ford Tough...

    Johnny Benson learned a valuable lesson last year at the Built Ford Tough 225 at Kentucky Speedway—when you are driving well, just park the truck.

    However, it took Benson a year to learn how valuable the lesson was. A year ago, Benson had a fast truck during practice and continued adjusting his truck.

    This year, Benson did not make the same mistake, opting to park his truck for the final 35 minutes of practice on July 18 prior to the July 19 race.

  • Lady Braves open volleyball...

    Grant County High School volleyball coach Kelli Lee wasted little time putting her stamp on her new team.

  • Cincinnati Bengals open training...

    The distance between Cincinnati and Georgetown College, home of the Cincinnati Bengals training camp, is 76 miles.

    Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis hopes that is enough distance to place between his team and the off-the-field issues which featured both Chris Henry and Odell Thurman being released. In addition, Lewis and the Bengals hope to find the answers—when they open camp on Monday, July 28—that will send the Bengals into the playoffs for the first time since the 2005 season.
