    The football series has only been in existence four years and the Panthers were down 1-2, but with the 27-14 win over the Wildcats Friday night, the Panthers now take an undefeated record into their third week of play.

The cover story for this issue was entitled “Libraries, At the Heart of Our Communities” and the editor of this publication goes on for seven pages to extol  the importance of libraries to vibrant, healthy communities.

  • Soccer Panthers fall

    Soccer is gaining a following at Carroll County High School, but so far the Panthers have not been able to put a win in the books.

    Undefeated Bryan Station of Lexington came calling at Panther Field Saturday, August 29. Even though there was no win for the Panthers losing 0-5, they did manage to keep from having the game called by a 10-0 mercy rule as was the outcome last year.

    The Bryan Station Defenders took 10 minutes off the clock before scoring as the Panthers ran a close defense. Goalie Josh Pence had several saves as Bryan Station brought it to him.

    The Trimble Banner

    Depending on one’s point of view, the latest twist in the Milton-Madison Bridge project could be seen as a “perfect storm” or a “harmonic convergence.”

    Love it or hate it, one thing is clear – the consultants hired to help determine whether to repair or replace the bridge linking Trimble County, Ky., to Jefferson County, Ind., have chosen to apply for a substantial federal grant that would help pay for replacing the superstructure on the existing piers.
