Greenwave freshmen down Cardinals
By BILL ROSACKER
Messenger Staff
On Sept. 23, the freshmen of Nelson County came to Meade County to do battle for the first time in Death Valley against the undefeated Meade County freshman football team. The Cardinals were potentially a dangerous foe. They were big, fast and 0-3 – a very dangerous combination. Hungry for a win, they were not afraid of the Greenwaves’ 3-0 record.
The first quarter was a defensive standoff. Neither team could move the ball against the other. The Cardinals did not look like a 0-3 team at this juncture. Crisp tackles, hard hits and great effort were on display from both teams.
Lady Waves spike Lady Hornets in three sets
Area prep girls’ volleyball was in action Sept. 22, when Hancock County traveled to Brandenburg. Two weeks earlier, the Lady Waves pounded the Lady Hornets in straight sets, 25-11 and 25-20. Meade County, 10-4, was riding a three-match winning streak and winning six of their last seven. Hancock County, 15-6-2, came in with dreams of snapping Meade County’s stronghold on the district title.
The first set started off with both teams scoring back and forth. Meade started to separate from Hancock behind Tiffany Filburn’s and Chelsea Stinnett’s kills and Claire Cannady’s and Stinnett’s digs to take the first game 25-20.
