  • State tournament halts golfers’ success

    Two golfers made it to state, but still wanted to do more than just make an appearance.

    Ali Rich, representing Williamstown, and Zach Wright, representing Grant County, each earned their way to state by qualifying at their regional tournaments. They both had hopes of making the first day cut and competing for the state title on the second day, but each missed the cut at the Bowling Green Country Club.

    Rich, a sophomore, shot a 92, six strokes more than the cut of 86. Wright, also a sophomore, shot an 83, five strokes more than the cut of 78.

  • Lady Demons off to rough start

    It would be easy for Williamstown High School volleyball coach Kim Anglin to be upset with her team opening the season 0-2, but the first-year coach knows that it is all a work in progress toward a bigger goal.

    "The first week didn't go as I would have liked. We competed, but we had mental mistakes and we beat ourselves. I think the combination of a new coach, new players and a new style had a lot to do with our results. I look at it as a learning session and now we are ready," said Anglin, whose team lost to Carroll County and Pendleton County last week.

  • GCMS Braves thump East Oldham 44-0 to open season

    If there was any concern heading into the Grant County Middle School football team's season opener about the Braves resting on their laurels after a perfect 12-0 season last year, head coach Jamey Dalzell delivered a message that was loud and clear to his team—deliver a knockout punch.

    That message was received and carried out as Josh Gutman and Cody Miskell opened the game with a bone-crushing tackle and GCMS' offense stole the show en route to a 44-0 drubbing of East Oldham on Aug. 16.

  • GCHS Braves enter post Jeremy Martin golf era

    As his team teed off in its season opener on Aug. 4, Grant County boys' golf coach Lance Robinson took a moment to reflect on the past.

    "I have anticipated this for a while. I am anxious to see how the kids react after advancing to the state tournament last year as a team," Robinson said.

    Robinson also pondered the departure of Jeremy Martin, a golfer who had played for Robinson almost all of his tenure. Martin, who won the regional tournament last year, has since graduated and will play for Northern Kentucky University this season.
