Greenwaves upend Trojans
On a dark, cold January evening Jan. 8, the scoring temperatures of both North Hardin and Meade County reflected the wintry weather outside. Both shot quite cold! Meade County shot an abysmal 16 of 44 from the field, which equals 36.4 percent for the game. However, the Trojans were even worse: 17 of 51 from the field for 33.5 percent. The poor shooting could not be blamed on the weather, but rather the tenacious defense played by both squads. Each squad played good defense throughout the game; North using its athletic abilities versus Meade’s hard-nosed, in-your-face style of play.
Meade County swim teams win at Elizabethtown Invitational
Being invited to a party usually means you should be gracious to your hosts. This etiquette does not pertain to swimming competition, at least in the actions of the Meade County High School swim team as the girls brought home a first-place team award while the boys brought home the second-place team award.
Lady Waves turn up the defensive pressure in two region match-ups
Area prep girls’ basketball was back in action Jan. 10 when the Meade County Lady Waves took on district rival Hancock County in Brandenburg. Looking to make their move in the region and district standings, Meade County was at the beginning of a two-week span that includes two games against Hancock County and one each with Frederick Fraize, Breckinridge County and Edmonson County.
Greenwave basketball –
On the road again and again
On Jan. 12, the Greenwave basketball team went down the road to visit former 17th District foe John Hardin. The Bulldogs are almost a mirror image of the North Hardin Trojans the Greenwaves defeated last week: tall, quick and very athletic – and a nemesis to the Greenwave team. Since leaving the 17th District, Meade County High School has lost only two games to 17th District teams, both to John Hardin.
Three local wrestlers named MVP in their weight class at regional duals

Meade defeats Corydon 68-9 in interstate rivalry
Prior to the Jan. 8 wrestling match with Corydon, Ind., Coach Bob Davis said he wanted this to become a yearly event and promote an interstate rivalry between Meade County wrestlers and our neighbors to the north. “It’s a state thing,” he said. “They’re well coached and a good team. It’s a good thing.” He then returned to practice with a “SHOOT – SPRAWL – GET AROUND!” that had the Meade County Grapplers shooting, sprawling and getting around with a vengeance. This team was going to be prepared for an interstate match, if it killed them.
