"We had a very busy week last week," Pendleton County tennis head coach Jennifer Harmeyer said.

Senior Tyler Daugherty pitched seven strong innings, scattering three hits and striking out 15 to pick up the shutout victory over district foe Robertson County.  A minimum of 21 batters can come to the plate in a 7-inning contest and Robertson County only sent 23 to the plate in the dominating performance.

The last second shot in basketball, the golden goal in soccer or the walk-off home run in baseball are some of the most exciting finishing moments in sports.

Mack Ramsey provided that exciting finish for Pendleton versus 38th District foe Nicholas County on Thursday night in the 2-1 victory.

Pendleton Varsity Coach Aaron Biddle saw this victory as a win that could jumpstart this team.  “It was a good win for us.  The whole team played great defense and we were able to win in epic fashion.”

He continued, “Mack Ramsey’s walk-off homerun was an incredible moment to be a part of.”

April showers may bring May flowers but it certainly doesn't do any favors for the Pendleton County Ladycats softball team.

Once again this season the team's schedule was thrown for a loop thanks to the large amount of rain the area saw last week. Of the five games that were scheduled to be played, just one was completed, and even it was delayed by lightning before it would be completed.

It was quite the turn of fortune last week for the Ladycats, as the team was able to put together a solid string of performances that resulted in three victories in four games.

Head Coach Steven Peed was more than pleased with the play of his club. "Things really came together for us in a lot of different ways," said Peed. "We were able to get some solid pitching from senior Samantha Smith, who took the mound for us three times this week. We also showed much more discipline at the plate while also eliminating some of the defensive errors that had  been costing us games earlier," continued Peed.
