2013 could be a “banner” year for the Lady Panthers softball team.

The girls lost just one senior from last year’s squad that finished 17-17 and lost in the first round of the 31st Districts to Owen County.

The team is loaded with experienced talent, led by six juniors – Michaela Culver, Sarah Hawkins, Kelsey Ogden, Mackenzie Ogden, Kayla Williamston and Brittany Yocum – most of whom have played travel ball.

The Carroll County Panther track and field team competed in the 53rd Annual Mason-Dixon Games Saturday, March 2. The Panthers did well as individuals, but the team scores were not where we wanted them to be, head coach Joe Creager said in an e-mail.
Mason-Dixon is equivalent to Indoor State, and the best competition from Class A was on hand to show what they can do.
The Panthers were led by junior Taylor Byrd, whose diving finish was good enough for fifth place in the 400-meter run with a time of 57.1 seconds.

Trey Boles was named the North Central Kentucky Boys Basketball Conference Player of the week for Feb. 11-16. 

He averaged 21 points a game, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists while shooting 87 percent from the free throw line and 76 percent from the field.

This is the second time that Boles has been named conference player of the week.

The North Central Kentucky Conference is made up of Gallatin County, Trimble County, Owen County, Williamstown, Walton, Henry County and Carroll County.  

The Lady Panthers’ offensive struggles continued into the playoffs as the team went O-fer from 3-point range for the first time since Jan. 4, falling 56-30 to Owen County in the 31st District playoffs Friday, Feb. 22. The game was originally scheduled for Thursday, but was delayed due to weather concerns.
