ECHS prepares to kickoff against Clinton County in a Wildcat win.

After suffering a loss last week to district opponent Metcalfe County, the Wildcats bounced back tonight with a win over Clinton County 44-6 in their first district win of the year. The win is the second one this season and something Head Coach Zach Vincent said was much needed after last week's 39-22 loss.

"These kids are capable of more than what they know," he said. "I told them today that 'guys, we played Metcalfe 1-1 in the third quarter with their starters and it should've been that way the whole entire time. And we gotta keep battling. And we told them, when you first come out, it's pedal to the metal--we're going."

And that's what they did as the Cats were able to get on the scoreboard early with help from running back Michael Mills, who led the way with 268* rushing yards on the night. Mills made it into the end zone with 5:14 in the first quarter on an 11-yard run and the Cats led 6-0.

The Bulldogs answered with a huge kickoff return for a 76-yard touchdown to tie the score at 6-6, but that's the only offensive threat Clinton County showed the Cats for the rest of the night. The Bulldogs were also plagued with penalty calls throughout the game.

Mills scored all 6 of the Wildcats' touchdowns, which included two runs over 50-yards. The Wildcats notched 378 total yards of rushing. Edmonson County had no passing yardage tonight. Despite the impressive yardage by the Wildcats, Coach Vincent credited the defense for getting the job done tonight.

"They did a great job, they shut them out," he said. He also noted that kids were playing play-by-play tonight and not thinking about a mistake that happened three plays ago.

Nolan Martin had 9 tackles for the Wildcats. 

The Wildcats are now 2-5 on the season and are off next week for fall break. Their next game is Friday, October 14th on the road at Green County for another district match.

Both Wildcat and Lady Cat teams start the final home meet of the season at Chalybeate Park on Sept. 22nd.
Edmonson Voice Sports:
On Thursday, September 22nd, the ECHS cross country team held their final home meet of the year at Chalybeate Park.  

 
The first race was the middle school girls race. While Edmonson County didn’t have enough runners score as a team, all individuals finished in the top 5, led by Hannah Clarie Cassady finishing 1st overall. She was followed by Molly Johnson (2nd) and Ellie Claire Spainhoward in (4th).
 
The next race was middle school boys, where Edmonson County’s team won the meet by defeating Breckinridge, Metcalfe, and Allen Counties. The team was led by Aidan Meredith (1st), followed by Jasper Young (2nd), Jack Browning (7th), Zander Garrett (8th), Eli Prunty (10th) and Jack Lich (12th).
 
Edmonson County's girls then held their varsity meet where they also won over Allen, Breckinridge, and Metcalfe Counties.  The race for first turned out to be competitive between Breckinridge's top runner and Lady Cat Cariann Williams. While Williams finished second, she ran one of her fastest career times at 16:20.
 
“Our girls ran great today and I saw some competitive fire out of some of them that I have been waiting on all season," said Head Coach Brad Meredith. "They brought it today.  We beat three teams that will compete in their regions and probably qualify for the state meet. Allen and Breck are a class above us and they have very good teams."
 
The last event was the boys varsity race.

Before the race Coach Brad Meredith took a moment to recognize Senior Brandon Shane Lindsey. Lindsey has been a part of the team for three years.

“Brandon Shane is a walking billboard for what cross country is all about," said Coach Meredith. "He has put in the work to become one of the best runners in our region. Running on his own this summer,  pushing in our workouts, having a great attitude and willing to compete. It showed today as he won and dominated a very good field of runners.”

Brandon Shane Lindsey finished at the top once again for the Wildcats, with a time of 13:31.
“I’m always proud of our kids," Coach Meredith Continued. "Cross Country is hard. It takes a special athlete that is willing to compete for three miles. This race stood out to me in that I thought all of our kids competed. We have been talking about it all year, when we have our top five that are being competitive, we have great teams."

Lady Cats Earns District Win on Road

The Lady Cats celebrate just after defeating the Lady Cougars 3-0.
Madison Doyle, story and photos:
Last night, September 27, 2022, the Edmonson County Lady Cats traveled to Grayson County, where they took down the Lady Cougars in a 3-0 sweep.

In the first set, the Lady Cats got off to a bit of a bumpy start as they fell behind the Lady Cougars 11-6, forcing Head Coach Caitlin Caudill to call a timeout. Edmonson got the ball back and notched some much needed kills to tie it up at 11 each.

From there, the Lady Cats and the Lady Cougars fought point for point, when Edmonson finally took the set 27-25.

In set two, Edmonson got off to a rough start yet again, where Grayson jumped out to a commanding 15-6 lead. In recent years, getting behind this early seemed to doom the Lady Cats; however, Edmonson fought back with a 12-1 run, forcing a Grayson timeout with a Lady Cat 18-16 lead. After the timeout, the Lady Cats continued their scoring run with strong serves from Senior Rylee Laster, and kills and blocks from multiple players. This mixture rattled Grayson too much, and Edmonson took the set 25-19.

In the third and final set, Edmonson stayed ahead for almost the entire set, until the Lady Cougars tied things up at 23-23. The atmosphere was very intense as both teams again were fighting point for point. The Lady Cats won the set 27-25, and the three-set sweep over their District 12 rival.

"There is only one word that can describe the feeling after winning that game last night, which is amazing," said Coach Caitlin Caudill. "This is the first time we have been able to beat Grayson at Grayson County in 5 years. That 3-0 sweep proves that we are zoning in and preparing for this post season. I am so proud of all my girls. This is what a team win looks like."
The Lady Cats are now 14-10 on the season and are scheduled to take on Allen County at Allen County at 5:30 pm.

Edmonson County fell to the Metcalfe County Hornets 39-22 tonight at Wildcat Field.

The Hornets struck first as speedy running back Michael Bennett scored on a 50-yard touchdown with 8:53 in the first quarter. The extra point was good and Metcalfe led 7-0.

It would be Metcalfe's Bennett once more just as the second quarter began with an 11-yard touchdown. The extra point attempt was blocked as the Hornets led 13-0 with 11:42 on the clock.

Metcalfe scored again on Wyatt Blythe's 15-yard catch and the extra point was good for a 20-0 Hornet lead with 6:15 left in the half.

Blythe scored again with a tough catch in the end zone on a 19-yard pass. The extra point was no good and the Cats trailed 33-0 at halftime.

Metcalfe scored again with 8:46 in the third quarter for a 39-0 lead.

With the third quarter winding down, it appeared as though the Wildcats had finally got on the board as Michael Mills made his way into the end zone, but it was called back as a result of a penalty on Edmonson County.

However, as the fourth began, the Wildcats were able to finally get across the goal line as Peyton Keith connected with Michael Mills for a 25-yard touchdown with 11:50 left in the game. The two-point conversion was good and the Cats cut the lead to 39-8.

Mills picked off a 25-yard pass from Metcalfe County with 9:30 left in the game. The Hornets were called for two different pass interference penalties during the Cats' possession and with 3:01 left in the game, Mills scored again on a 12-yard run. The two-point conversion attempt was no good as Edmonson County cut the lead to 39-14.

Edmonson County was able to regain possession with an onside kick on the next play. Noah Meredith caught a 36-yard pass from Keith for a first down with about 1:45 left. The Cats took it down to 23 seconds on the clock when Daren Alexander scored on an 18-yard pass from Mills. The two-point conversion was good and the Cats cut the lead to 39-22.

Edmonson County showed plenty of life in the fourth quarter, but it wouldn't be enough as the Hornets held on to win with a running clock.

Head Coach Zach Vincent said while the result wasn't what the team had hoped for, he was happy with how the Wildcats hung in there until the end.

"Our boys finally showed up at the half and I'm proud of them tonight," he said. "We got a special group of kids this year. You take most kids that have lost since last year, then you pick up win last week, then you come out (tonight) and your down--most kids would give in, but when we went in at the half, you can fuss and yell as much as you want, but we just had a good heart-to-heart."

Coach Vincent said the team came out way too flat in the first half to compete.

"I said boys, you gotta show me something. I need eleven guys that want it. I don't care if it's JV, or a freshman, whoever it is, I gotta have eleven. And they stepped up, every single one, even the sideline."

The Wildcats will remain at home again next week as they host Clinton County (0-5).

Edmonson County falls to 1-5 on the season as Metcalfe County improved to 6-0.

Darren Doyle, story:
The Edmonson County Lady Cat volleyball team and Volleyball Boosters joined forces with the community and the Butler County Lady Bears last night to help one local individual, Katherine Lindsey, who is currently fighting cancer.

The Lady Cats swept Butler County 3-0 last night in the district match up but the coming together of two teams and a community was what made the night a success.

The Lady Cats raised over $6K at a silent auction at the game, as well as donations gathered during the event, all of which will be donated to Katherine in her fight. Two parent volunteers, Joe Monroe and Matt Ferguson, who are frequent line judges at volleyball games, agreed to perform their duties last night in pink fairy costumes if an additional $250 was donated just before game time. One anonymous individual donated $250 alone just to guarantee the guys would be suiting up.

She also continues to work and help care for her father.

Edmonson County is now 10-7 on the season and is scheduled to take on Allen County at home on Monday, Sept. 26th.

Caverna was able to score again in the fourth quarter for a final score of 48-16.

Coach Zach Vincent, who celebrated his first win as head coach did his post game interview soaked, as the team doused him with the water jug after the game. He said the team being down over the past season-and-a-half has helped them to grow and mature.

"The boys have matured these past few weeks, I mean, God Bless," he said. "It's amazing how practice was this week. We talked about it, like 'guys, this is the best three days of practice we've had.' I mean, they're focused, they're driven, they know what their job is and they want to get it done."

Coach Vincent said he told his boys at the half with a 24-6 lead that the game wasn't over.

"We'd been in this position at Grayson County. We were up and we blew it. We were up one touchdown and we blew it. I told them, 'guys, we haven't won yet. We've won the half, but as far as I'm concerned, it's zero to zero and we have to show them that we mean business."

The Wildcats were able to take care of their business by doubling their score in the second half. The win snaps a 15-game losing streak, the longest in school history.

They are now 1-4 on the season and are scheduled to play Metcalfe County at home next Friday night at 7PM.

Lady Cats Send Lady Scotties To The Pound In 2-0 Sweep

Madison Doyle, story and photos:
Last night, Tuesday, September 13, 2022, the Edmonson County Lady Cat Volleyball Team defeated the Glasgow Lady Scotties in a 2-0 sweep at home.

Edmonson had a bit of a sluggish start in the first set, coupled with some errors and tough serves from Glasgow, allowing the Lady Scotties to score 5 points in a row. The Lady Cats awoke and got some much needed kills and blocks, and went on 8-0 run, which forced a Glasgow timeout.
Picture

Several factors helped the Lady Cats along the way, which included an intense student section, strong kills, blocks, and serves, which wouldn't allow Glasgow to catch up as Edmonson took the first set 25-17.

The second set of the game was much closer, as Glasgow only trailed a few points behind for the majority of the set. Again, the intense atmosphere in the ECHS gym and hard swings from Edmonson were too much for the Lady Scotties. Edmonson won the set 25-19, resulting in a Lady Cat win.

"I am proud to say that we're half-way through our season with a winning record of 8-6," said Head Coach Caitlin Caudill. "They came out last night and executed great defense and offense, and it showed at the end of the night." Caudill also applauded the student section for their support for the Lady Cats.

The 2022 Lady Cats finished runner-up in the All A Region 3 Classic on Sept. 10, 2022.
Darren Doyle, story:
The Edmonson County Lady Cat volleyball team advanced to the championship game of the All A Region 3 Classic today, hosted at Cloverport, but fell just short of the top prize, finishing as the tournament's runner-up.

Play started this morning for Edmonson County against McLean County and the Lady Cats wasted no time getting down to business, forcing a timeout against the Lady Cougars at 5-0. Edmonson had a lead as much as 10 points later in the set and took set one, 25-13.

It was much of the same in the second, with the Lady Cats starting off strongly again, forcing an early timeout for McLean at 7-1. Edmonson dominated for the remainder of the set, winning 25-8 and advanced to the semifinals.

In the semis, Edmonson took on Cloverport, where the young Lady Aces were severely outmatched and fell 0-2 to the Lady Cats, who took care of business early. Edmonson County advanced to the championship game for a rematch against Trinity, who defeated the Lady Cats at home on Thursday night.

Edmonson County was shaky from the start, as the contrast in talent was evident between Cloverport and Trinity. The Lady Raiders jumped out to a 6-1 start and forced a timeout for Edmonson. The Lady Cats did not recover from the slow start and Trinity claimed set one 24-12.

The second set was a different story for the Lady Cats, at least in the beginning. With 8 ties and 7 lead changes through the score of 11-11, Edmonson County seemed to be on the right track compared to the previous set; however, Trinity was able to put together a 7-2 run that forced an Edmonson timeout with the Lady Cats trailing 18-13. Edmonson County was only able to put 4 more points on the board before Trinity took the set 25-17 for the final set of the tournament.

Edmonson County moved to 6-6 on the season and is scheduled to travel to Monroe County on Monday evening.

The Wildcats had their hands full once again tonight as they took on the Hornets of Hancock County, falling by a score of 50-0.

Hancock County scored their first touchdown of the night only a minute and a half into the game on a 41-yard pass. Their two-point conversion was no good and they led 6-0 with 10:27 in the first.

Edmonson County simply had no answer for the Hornets tonight as Hancock County controlled the game from the start, leading 34-0 after the first quarter.

The Wildcats struggled mightily against the Raiders on Friday night as they fell 48-0 at Warren East.

Edmonson County had no answer for the Raiders offense and couldn't handle the defensive pressure from East when the Cats had the ball.

The Raiders wasted no time establishing the tone as they scored seconds into the game on a 9 yard catch by Roger Duncan from quarterback Dane Parsley. The extra point was good for a 7-0 Raiders lead.

Edmonson County trailed 42-0 at the half and with a running clock, the Wildcats remained outmatched the rest of the way and were unable to turn things around.

Nathan Smith, offensive line and linebacker coach for the Wildcats, said Edmonson County was mismatched on both the offensive and defensive lines.

"They had a massive front five against us and we're starting some young guys and some small guys, and it just was not a good match for us up front," he said. "They played hard, our boys are always going to play hard, that's not ever going to be an issue. There's some things we learned a little bit tonight from this and we came into it a little banged up. What we need to focus on with our guys is that in a game in September against Warren East doesn't really matter for anything against us. We play in a very winnable district and we have games that are much more on our level. Caverna, Metcalfe, Monroe, and Clinton, those are games and schools that look like us. They're the same size, and things like that, so we just got to keep our boys' heads up and make sure that this doesn't derail us and that we're able to keep our heads up and look forward to the end of the season."

Edmonson County is now 0-3 on the season and will travel to Hancock County next Friday.
