Golf season underway, fall sports preview in the works
Our CCHS Golf Dawgs and Lady Golf Dawgs are already in action, and have been for a couple of weeks now, with a few invitational tournaments behind them and even a match or two.
Weather permitting, and as I write this on Tuesday morning, it’s beginning to look a little iffy for today, we are hoping to catch the team in a match in the next few days and grab some photos.
As I’ve mentioned before in this space, the fall sports collection is the hardest to get started covering, all around, including putting together our annual Fall Big Blue Preview.
The reason is the extreme staggered
School back in session, buses on the road, and so are student drivers
This is one of those columns that despite it’s normal theme, really doesn’t have much to do with sports or tourism, but the subject is one that will hopefully remind everyone of the time of year, and perhaps help keep everyone a little safer – especially our local students.
Believe it or not, school is back in session beginning this Thursday, and with that, not only will
Local participation numbers might be down, but they are up across the state
News came last week that due to a lack of interest the boys’ soccer program was in jeopardy. A late push for sign-ups might have saved it for this year, but it’s in a “wait and see” mode.
CCHS Athletic Director Nick Irwin tells me this week that the boys’ soccer team will begin the season with 13 names on the roster, including two players that are
The Clinton County Boys’ Soccer program is on the verge of losing the sport all together. According to Athletic Director Nick Irwin, participation is at an all time low for the program and if numbers don’t rise by the end of the week, it is likely the school will lose the program.
“Soccer is a great sport for exercise, health and builds character through team work,” Irwin said in a recent post to Facebook. “Please bring your kids out, pass this news along to as many people

Start of school year is just around the corner
The start of the 2019-20 school year is just around the corner, with the first day of school Thursday, August 8, and already we have some local sports related news – some good, some not so much.

A note from Clinton County High School Athletic Director Nick Irwin this week has put the community on alert that
Summer vacation for athletes coming to an end
We may have (finally) just reached the dog days of summer with high humidity, dryer conditions and scorching temperatures, but, believe it or not, for our high school aged athletes, summer is about to come to an end.
At least the part of summer that deals with time off from organized sports.
The official KHSAA “so called” dead period came to an end last week,
Southern Kentucky Youth Sports is a new organization dedicated to enhancing fundamentals in three sports, but are looking to add more in the future.
SKY Sports has been brought to life by several residents of Clinton County and it has been developed as a hopeful answer to losing the 21st Century grant this year.

However, that doesn’t mean we don’t have a few busy stretches in Albany and Clinton County – one of those busier than normal times is this week while we celebrate our nation’s independence.
With tourism driving a big part of our local economy,
