Greenwaves sink Trojans for middle school championship
After the first game of the middle school football season, Coach Gery Whelan had reason to worry about the upcoming season for the Stuart Pepper Middle School (SPMS) traveling football squad. His team had just lost the opening game to Moss Middle School from Bowling Green. This first game was played without the benefit of any previous scrimmage games, and his players, their skills and how they would react to adversity were complete unknowns.
Senior night ends with victory for Lady Wave volleyball
In every athlete’s life, moments in their career are turning points. On the evening of Sept. 27, a poignant career moment was shared by five members of the Meade County volleyball team – Lydia Curran, Morgan Filburn, Melinda Hurt, Megan McGehee and Brittini Schmidt – as they participated in senior night at MCHS. This evening marked the last time they would play a home game in front of their family, friends and fans.
Greenwaves clip Eagles’ wings
At the half of the Meade County Greenwave/Owensboro Apollo football game, Coach Larry Mofield was not a happy camper. The score was 7-7, and he felt time of possession was in Apollo’s favor and that his players were not playing up to their potential. He told his troops, “Apollo was ready to play from the gun; you were not ready when you got off the bus!” His assessment of the situation was right on. The Greenwave attitude in the first half was somewhat lackadaisical, as reflected by senior running back Nick Stinnet, after the game, but he also said the team rallied really well in the second half and shut down the Eagles on their home field.
