Senior Brianna Crouch digs for the ball to save it and scores a point for the Ladycats. Her Ladycats stand with the second best record in the 10th Region at 9-3.

After a tough loss to NKY #1 ranked team Simon Kenton, the PC Ladycat Volleyball team rebounded to beat 38th District foe Deming, 3-1 with scores of 25-13, 25-15, 17-25, 25-20.  The Ladycats ran their record to 9-3 which is still the 2nd best record in the 10th Region behind Brossart’s 9-1 mark.

Over the past decade, Notre Dame Pandas have dominated the NKY golf scene winning regional title after regional title and finishing in the top 10 at state.  The Ladycat JV Golf team sent a message that their future is ready to compete against anyone as they defeated Notre Dame JV 200-206 with freshmen Mackenzie Moore firing a 44 to earn medalist honors.

You'll be hard-pressed to find anyone happier to see the calendar flip from August to September than Wildcats soccer coach Lisa Feltner. It's not because her club managed just a 3-5 record to open the 2012 season, but rather the onslaught of injuries that have plagued nearly half of the team's roster.

There are currently nine players battling through a wide range of ailments ranging from minor aches and pains, to back spasms and ankle sprains and fractures. The walking (or limping) wounded Wildcats played three consecutive road games last week, coming away with just one victory. However, when it was all said and done, Feltner found herself feeling pretty good about things.

The Ladycats were struggling Monday, August 27 in their game against St. Pats. A pre-game rain seemed to drain all of the energy from the girls. They were not getting back on the defensive end and were caught watching the game. St. Pats took full advantage and attacked the weak Ladycats. They were able to score a goal within the first 5 minutes of the game.

This woke the Ladycats up some as they began to work a little better as a team. Eventually this team work would pay off. Junior, Kaitlyn Meadows and Senior, Tori Fitzpatrick would use wall passes to make their way down the field. Once on the offensive end, Tori would turn and find Freshman, Madison Wirth pulling away to the corner. Tori would rack up an assist as Madison scored a goal.

It won’t be long till the sounds and smell of spring are here and new Pendleton County Fast Pitch Varsity Coach Stephen Peed is anxious to get his Ladycats building towards a strong rebound season and laying the foundations of programs with the youth and middle school that will give future Ladycat teams the ability to compete with the best in our region.

Coach Peed, a Bracken County native and JV coach for Lawrence County when the varsity team competed in the state tournament, has been talking and signing up high school players but now he needs active parents who want to help rebuild this program.

In the PCHS cafeteria at 7 p.m., Thursday, September 6 there will be a parent informational meeting along with the creation of a Ladycat Fast Pitch Booster Group.

If you have any questions, contact Athletic Director Keith Smith at Keith.Smith@Pendleton.kyschools.us or 859-654-3355 ex 7509.

When the Pendleton County Wildcats soccer team learned that senior defender MacKenzie Colvin would be out 4-6 weeks following surgery to repair a fractured foot that he suffered in an August 18th loss at Highlands, it along with head coach Lisa Feltner knew that his presence in the lineup would be sorely missed.

The team hosted three home games last week and came away with just one victory. And the losses the club suffered showed a glaring weakness on the defensive side of the field. Colvin, playing the centerback position, is the anchor of the defense, and coach Feltner was very concerned about how her team would fair without her reliable senior.

In a big match up, the Ladycat Golf team traveled to Canewood Golf Course in Georgetown to play a tri-match between the top three teams in the 8th region the last four years.  They were joined by Scott County and Mason County.

The Ladycats played well and hard posting the 3rd 9-hole score in school history with a 176.

Lane Weaver shot a record 9-holes at the Cynthiana Country Club.

Last season, Lane Weaver shot a round of 4 under golf to tie Mark Browning and Andrew Spencer for the school record of a 9-hole round.  His senior year, he now stands alone with a 31 with 5 birdies and 4 pars at Cynthiana Country Club in the Cats 157-179 victory over Harrison County.

His wasn’t the only Cats’ magic as junior Lance Jones holed out from 150 yards on the #2, par five for an eagle.
