George Rogers Clark has won the 10th Region the last two years. The Wildcats have a new system with a new head coach. GRC appeared to have the edge in last Saturday’s match-up.

However, Garrett Appleman helped Pendleton County pull off the upset as he hit the last second, game winning three-pointer in the Wildcats home opener 59-56.

“We wanted to throw the ball in and see what we can get,” PC head coach Ed Cravens said. “We wanted to get a quick shot, hoping for a foul. It was a great shot; the only shot he hit all day. He saved the best for last.”

The Pendleton County High School Wildcats are ready for the upcoming basketball season. Under first year head coach Ed Cravens, the Wildcats hope to have another exciting season.

“We want to continue the district tournament run. We expect to continue that trend,” coach Cravens said. “We’ve won the district three years in a row.”

The Wildcats will be relying on their seniors heavily this season. Guards Mason Monroe and Garrett Appleman and center Ethan Moore will be key players this year.

"We want to win district I think from top to bottom all the girls will tell you the same thing." PCHS Ladycat Varsity Coach Scott Collins said matter-of-factly.  "We want to get into the region and see how far of a run we can make."

The Ladycat Class of 2013 has had much success through their progression from 6th grade to varsity and in their senior year, they are looking to make a run to the 10th Region Championship game that no Ladycat team has ever made.

Making up the Senior class of Ladycats are:  Point Guard Asthen Wolfe, Shooting Guard Bradi Boden, Center Heather Jolley, Forward Tori Fitzpatrick and Guard Jennifer Dixon.

The Future Ladycats Youth Basketball League opened play recently for third - fifth graders.

Through hard work, dedication and commitment, Nate Jones rose from the baseball field of Volunteer Park at Eiler’s Field behind Pendleton County High School to the mound of NKU Baseball Field and eventually to the Comiskey Park in Chicago home of the White Sox.

He made his debut versus the Texas Rangers and came through the television screen larger than life when he struck out reigning MVP Josh Hamilton.

Now, the Pendleton County Wildcats baseball team is honoring Nate Jones by retiring his jersey and hosting a Nate Jones night at the PC Wildcats basketball game versus Augusta on Thursday, December 6.

There will be festivities throughout the night culminating with the retirement of the #24 by the PC Wildcats at halftime.

Come out and join the PC Cat Nation in honoring Nate for his accomplishments and thanking him for being a great representative of PCHS and Pendleton County.
