After five games, the Williamstown baseball team matched last season’s win total of five.

After their sixth game, they were able to surpass it.

The Demons opened the season with a come-from-behind-win against Gallatin County before defeating Trimble County. Williamstown was able to continue their winning ways with a 7-3 win over Owen County on April 1, giving the Demons three region wins in as many games.

The Williamstown softball team learned in their first game that they are capable of hitting the ball and staying in games.

In their second game, they learned that mental errors are costly.

The Lady Demons opened their season with a 12-8 loss to Trimble County on March 24.

“It was a good opening day,” coach T.J. West said. “We hit the ball and made the plays we need to make, but they out hit us. We were only outside on the field two days before we played, so I was pleased with our effort.”

Coming into her junior season, Tori Wilhoit knew that she would need to do two things: step up as a leader and as a scorer for the Lady Demons’ basketball team.

Although her scoring average dropped from the previous season, Wilhoit was named to the 8th region all-region team for the second straight year. She was also named to the North Central Kentucky Conference all-conference team.

The Grant County baseball team learned quickly that the road to a third straight district championship would not be an easy one.

The Braves started their season with a 5-1 loss to Bishop Brossart on March 22.

“It’s the first game, but we had some costly errors,” coach Darrick Lee said. “But we’ll get those fixed. We’re talking about kids and first-game jitters. That’s what I’m putting it on. It’s a learning experience.”
