The Carroll County Middle School cheerleaders won first place in a competition at Beth Haven Christian School in Louisville in January. The Carroll County High School boys basketball team defeated Owen County, 42-39, Jan. 27, to win the 8th Region All ‘A’ Championship for the first time since 2005. Austin Crowell was named Tournament MVP. The team lost in the first round of the state All “A” tournament to Cordia High School Jan. 30, at the Frankfort Civic Center.

The Carroll County boy’s basketball team sponsored an alumni game Nov. 29 as a fundraiser for the program.  Eighteen former Panthers showed up to play in the game ranging from teams in the early 90’s to a member of last year’s team. The white team consisting of players before 2007 led 41-40 at the half before falling to the black team 98-58. Younger legs and taller bodies made a difference late in the game.
