  • Williamstown's Caldwell...

    Clyde Caldwell is soft-spoken, but confident.

    After last Friday, college student-athlete is another adjective that the Williamstown High School senior has added to his resume after signing a national letter of intent to play golf at Berea College, an NAIA institution.

    After leading the Demons golf team this past season, Caldwell, the son of Stephanie and Troy Caldwell, is ready for the challenges that come with playing on the college level.

  • Braves coast past Conner

    Getting the ball as a starting pitcher can make you nervous.

    Josh Cummins wasn't nervous as he took the mound for Ground County on April 18.

    Instead, Cummins, a senior, and his teammates were loose, putting up seven runs in the first two innings on their way to a 9-3 pasting of the Cougars at the Florence Freedom's Champion Window Field. For Cummins and the majority of his teammates, the game at the minor league park was the first of its kind during their high school careers.

  • Williamstown struggles to find a...

    With the beginning of the 2008 volleyball season months away, Todd Dupin is a man on a mission.

    Dupin, Williamstown's athletic director, is in search of a coach to replace Kelli Lee, who resigned her position to take over the same position at Grant County High School earlier this year.

    However, he has had little luck in finding the program's fourth coach in as many seasons.

    "We haven't had any applicants. I have talked to one or two people, but we do not have anyone hired," Dupin said.

    It is his hope to have some one in place by the end of school.

  • Demons aim for victories

    While the record may be less than desirable, Williamstown High School baseball coach Buck Walter has been pleased with the effort he has gotten out of his team recently.

    After suffering an 8-7 setback to 32nd District opponent Simon Kenton in a game that featured two eighth graders in the line-up for the Demons, Williamstown took out their frustrations on Eminence, earning a 12-0 win.

    However, errors got the best of Williamstown on April 17, as Owen County defeated the Demons 12-7.

    "Go out and play this game like you're a little kid again. This game is what you love to do..

    —Chad Johnson

    If only it were that easy. If only disgruntled Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson, who has been known to call himself "Ocho Cinco," would show everyone that somewhere deep inside of him, there is a little kid who enjoys playing a game.

    Instead, we get to deal with Johnson's demands to be traded, threatening to be a no-show at the team's mini-camp and training camp. To that I say, bring it on Chad.

  • Lady Braves earn first place

    Backed by several strong individual and relay team finishes, the Grant County High School girls' track team sent a notice to the rest of the Northern Kentucky—they are for real.

    The message came after the Lady Braves scored 140.5 points to run away with the Grant County Invitational on April 12. The next closest team was Villa Madonna, who amassed 76 points.

    Grant County ended the event with six first place finishes.

  • Swept Away—Grant...

    With the swing of a bat, Grant County's slim 2-1 advantage turned into a 4-1 lead with little sign of letting up Tuesday night.

    Following a double by Jessica Smith to open the third inning, Grant County junior Alesa Collinsworth took the first pitch she saw from Williamstown pitcher Emma Harris and belted a two-run home run, sparking a seven run inning to lift Grant County to a 16-7 win over the Lady Demons.

  • Former WHS standout learns the...

    It did not take long for Jacob Cheesman to realize he was no longer a member of the Williamstown High School baseball team.

    In his first season as a member of the junior varsity baseball team at Lindsey Wilson College, Cheesman found out early that college baseball is a year-round sport.

    "I like that aspect of it. At Williamstown, it was something we did three months and then that was it. Here, there's a fall and spring season and a lot of other time that goes into it," said Cheesman.
