Regional Sports

As a Kentucky fan (all Kentucky teams, for that matter), it made me angry a couple of months ago when I learned that there were Big Blue fans who'd resorted to lunacy following Kentucky's NCAA loss to North Carolina.

For the first time ever, Muhlenberg Consolidated Schools are heading to State after the Mustangs won the 3rd Region Baseball Championship last night! Way to represent boys!

They're called the Cueless Misfits and they're a member of the American Pool Player's Association. Based in Owensboro, this nine-ball pool team won the APA City Championship and the next step is a big one.

Kentucky's narrow 75-73 loss to North Carolina in the 2017 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight generated a firestorm of criticism for one of the game's referees, John Higgins.

Well, how about that? For starters he was a Kentucky SENIOR who contributed significant minutes during the 2016-2017 season. Senior hoops players are hard to come by in Lexington.

I think the date of this year's Kentucky Derby is weird and it's for one very specific reason. I'm not even going to ask you to guess, because you won't.

I don't play golf. I've been to the driving range a few times, but that's about it. But I love to watch the major tournaments. They fascinate me. And the Masters is the best.

I tell you what...we are lucky to have the students and faculty that we have in Daviess County. Baseball teams from Apollo High School and Daviess County High School will take the field for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Earlier in the week you heard the story about the brave young pitcher from Louisville who fought off a shark attack in Florida. The Ohio County Varsity Softball Team had the chance to meet Caitlyn Taylor and play against her in a softball tournament in Destin.

THIS HAS TO STOP! NOW! What a horrible, horrible disgrace this situation has become regarding John Higgins, a referee in Kentucky's game against North Carolina on Sunday.

Since I am a college hoops junkie, the NCAA Tournament is like Christmas stretched out over three weeks. And I love every facet of it.

In nine seasons, Tom Crean took the Indiana Hoosiers to the Sweet Sixteen three times. Speaking as someone who ALSO lives in a state that BLEEDS basketball, I know that that just isn't good enough.
