Greenwaves hone skills at last scrimmage of the season
The Daviess County football team traveled to Meade County Aug. 22 for their annual scrimmage against the Greenwaves.
As the teams do not play each other during the regular season, the scrimmage allows coaches from both teams to observe their players in a game situation and make adjustments in preparation for opening day. It’s also an opportunity to observe younger players in action – players they may not typically see during the regular season.
Lady Waves drop soccer season opener
In a defensive effort, the Lady Wave soccer team dropped their opening game against the Lady Cardinals of Nelson County 1-0.
“We’ve scheduled Nelson County as our first game of the year forever because they are always tough,” said Coach Dan Shook after the game, “and because this is a good indicator of where the team is and what we need to do to be competitive.”
Greenwaves victorious over North Hardin Trojans
The Meade County boys’ golf team was back in action Aug. 18, when they took on the North Hardin Trojans. Being a regional match-up, Coach Josh Thompson knew it was a very important match.
“Especially playing at our home course,” Thompson said, “we need to step up and consistently win. It is important for us to win these matches because it will help build the confidence they need in the tournaments at the end of the year.”
Lady Wave golf showing improvement
Lady Wave golf was back in action Aug. 18, when the Lady Waves traveled to Tanglewood Golf Course in Spencer County. This being the first away match of the season, Coach Rob Miller knew it was a valuable step in the learning process of his team.

Meade County cross country teams eye state competition
Cross country running is a sport in which teams of runners compete to complete a course over open or rough terrain faster than other teams. The courses used at these events may include grass, mud, woodlands and water. In an area where all of these elements are abundant, the Meade County cross country team boasts one of the best girls’ teams in the state.
After finishing sixth overall in last year’s state meet – the best a girls’ team from Meade County has ever finished – Coach Larry Garner believes this is just the tip of the iceberg.
