    By LARRY SULLIVAN, JR.

    Special to The Trimble Banner

    The Trimble County High School boys hosted the Williamstown Demons last Saturday night in an exciting 60-43 win before a packed house.

    The win was the beginning of a boy/girl homecoming double header, with the guys taking the court first. Tradionally the night would have featured a triple header with freshman, junior varsity and varsity action; however, game cancellations caused by recent snowfalls gave fans the first all varsity night in years.

  • Raiders drop the ball, fall to...

    Despite high expectations, the Trimble County Raider boys basketball team fell to Henry County in the first round of the 8th Region All A tournament Jan. 21.

    As an early season favorite to win the coveted title, the Raiders hit the hardwood with high hopes, but the team’s low energy seemed to contribute to the 57-62 loss to the Wildcats.

    Guard Aaron Law, one of five seniors on the team, put 7 points on the board during the first period, but it wasn’t enough as the Raiders trailed 13-16 at the buzzer.

    Everything except a win.

    The Carroll County Panthers hosted the All Class A boys tournament last week, but fell to the Wildcats of Gallatin County in the first round, 42-33.

    It was especially disappointing, because the Lady Panthers had also lost to Gallatin County in the final round of the All Class A just a week before.

    After falling to border rivals Carroll County in their last two match-ups, the Trimble County Lady Raiders were ready for battle last Thursday night.

    From the tip off, the Trimble girls showed an abundance of energy at both ends of the floor. The first quarter was back and forth as the Lady Raiders had the Panthers by the tail to keep the score close at 11-12.

  • Lady Panthers scratch past Henry...

    The Lady Panthers pulled off a win in a make-up game last week against the Lady Cats of Henry County on a night when shots wouldn’t fall and rebounding was lackluster.

    Then, in the final period, the Lady Panthers only managed 14 points from the charity stripe.
