Lady Waves post victory in District 3 tournament
This was a hard-fought, defensive game. It is a shame someone had to lose. On the bench of the Lady Panthers was the inspiration for their season. Sophomore Lauren Girten sat in her wheelchair, fighting against a rare form of cancer that struck her down last summer. A member of the Panther team since the 8th-grade, all of her teammates wore her number 8 painted on their arms, and her signature green ribbon on their hats; an outward showing of their support and a reminder that there are some things more important than winning ballgames. The Lady Panthers dedicated this season to her, but the Lady Waves brought their season to an end May 25 with a score of 1-0.

Lady Wave continue march through region
After a one-day rain delay, the Meade County Lady Wave softball team continued their quest for a region championship. Amanda Logsdon returned to the mound for the Lady Waves after a prolonged absence due to injury and illness.
“She was rusty,” said Head Coach Mike Harreld. “She was sick with the flu (for a couple of weeks) and had a cortisone injection in her wrist.” She pitched for 2 1/3 innings and began to show some of the rust Coach Harreld was worried about. He pulled her in favor of Maris Harreld who has been the mainstay for the Lady Waves in Logsdon’s absence. “I got nervous with just a two-run lead when she walked a batter,” he explained.
Meade County falls in first round
Coming off its exciting district title run, the Meade County Greenwave baseball team couldn’t stave off a streaking Owensboro squad May 26 in the first round of the 3rd Region Tournament held at Hancock County.
Meade County did jump out to an early four-run lead in the first inning, but a six-run fourth by Owensboro shut the door on the Greenwaves’ season and propelled Owensboro to a 9-5 win.

It’s time to tee up for the 23rd Annual Two-Person Golf Scramble sponsored by the Meade County Area Chamber of Commerce.

This year’s scramble will be played June 20, at Hillcrest Country Club in Brandenburg, with shotgun starts at 8 a.m. and 2 p.m.
The entry fee is $100 per two-person team, according to Russ Powell, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce. Golfers may use their own carts, but for those who wish to rent them there is a $20 fee, he says
