Boyle Takes On Casting with the Cards

This past weekend, the bass fishing team competed in the GRC Trail Tournament #1. The tournament took place on a tough lake, Lake Herrington.

 

About 80 teams participated in the tournament, but only 35 of them were able to weigh a fish. The winners of the tournament weighed 13.11 pounds, but then the weight dropped to under five pounds by 7th place. 

 

The Boyle teams that made the best show this weekend were Ashton Feck and Adailyn Courtney who placed 4th with 6.92 pounds, and Brayson Claunch and Cameron Owens took 7th with 4.91 pounds. Other placements for Boyle were Coleman and Keenan Stewart in 15th, Colin Wise and Emmitt Grubbs in 17th, and Connor Young and Brent Christopher in 22nd.

 

All teams from Boyle said it was a rough day on the water and struggled to catch many fish. Coleman Stewart says, “It was a rough day on the water, but we plan to bounce back next weekend.”

 

The fishing teams next tournament is this coming weekend at Halcomb’s Landing at Lake Cumberland.

From Football to Fútbol: Boyle vs Corbin

Though in the past we have normally seen Boyle and Corbin go head-to-head in a football game, they clashed on Thursday in a boys soccer matchup.

This was no ordinary game; this was senior night for the Rebels. The four seniors were Matthew Britt, JD Cooley, Jackson Pass, and Breydon Hatter.

The game was kicked off by the injured senior Breydon Hatter, playing in the last game of his high school career. Soon after, senior Matthew Britt opened the scoring column for the night, making it 1-0. A couple of minutes later, JD Cooley tapped one in to score the first goal of his senior night. Then, fellow senior Jackson Pass finished an outside of the boot shot to make the score 3-0. Next, with 26 minutes left in the first half, Cooley scored again and made it 4-0. Boyle was still not done, and Bo Little scored on a free kick to set the score to 5-0. Then, Cooley earned a hattrick when he extended the lead to 6-0. With the final goal of the half, Alan Wireman finished off of a rebound and made it 7-0.

In the second half, there was a considerable dropoff in the action. Nobody scored and the game ended at 7-0, in favor of the Rebels. This was a fantastic senior night for all involved! The next game is at home vs Sayre on Tuesday, September 26.

Girls Golf Final Match, with Two to Advance!

On Wednesday night, girls golf played in the region tournament at Bardstown Country Club. Unfortunately, the team finished 5th overall, which wasn’t enough to advance to the next round. However, Emery Herron and Hannah Bischoff will be moving on as individuals to the Semi-State competition! Herron shot an 85, earning her 8th place, and Bischoff was right behind her with an 88, which got her the 9th place spot.

Herron was especially pleased with her performance Wednesday, saying, “Today was very rewarding. We had two girls, including myself, qualify for the first round of state! I’m very pleased with our scores, individually and as a team. It was a long day, but we managed and pushed through.” She then appreciates her coach, Jessica Cornelius, saying, ” I couldn’t have done it without her.”

For most of the girls, the season is over, but Emery and Hannah need to begin preparation for the next round. Good luck to them as they play in Calvert City next Monday!

Boys Soccer Slays the Golden Lions

On Tuesday, the Boyle boys soccer team took on the Garrard County Golden Lions. Boyle had to win to secure the 1 seed for the district tournament, and did just that.

They scored three early goals and didn’t look back. They racked up four more to win 7-1. Goals were scored by Andrew Carr, Alan Wireman, JD Cooley, Matthew Britt, and Jackson Pass. 

When asked about the performance, senior JD Cooley said, “I think this was one of our best games of the season and that momentum is going to be crucial come time for the postseason.”

The Rebels will definitely look to continue winning like this as the postseason is right around the corner. Show out to support them this Thursday as they take on Corbin at home in a boy/girl doubleheader, as well as a celebration for their seniors on their Senior Night!

Boys Golf Season Finale!

On Tuesday, the boys golf team traveled to Nicholasville for their region tournament. Though they fought hard, the boys did not end the season exactly as they wanted. 

They shot a 341 as a team. Harper Webb shot a 79, Colton Aulick shot an 82, Landen Parness shot an 89, Eli Langham shot a 91, and Gavin Lamb shot a 91. 

With a 79, Webb qualified for an alternative spot for semi-state. After being asked about how it feels being the only person from Boyle County to qualify for semi-state he said, “It feels good to have a chance at semi-state, but at the same time I wish I could play a little better to have a guarantee at state.

Overall, the boys had a great season and we wish them the best as they look forward to next year!
