  • Boys retain regional title in a threepeat

    Casey County remains home to the boys’ 12th Region tennis team championship for the third year in a row, as the Rebels defeated Garrard County in a tournament ending playoff last week.  
    The girls can thank math for their third-place finish to Pulaski as final results were based on a formula of wins to losses over the season that came down to a difference of only four percentage points, which gave PC second.

  • Tennis teams backhanding opponents as boys, girls start 3-0

  • Spring Sports Preview: CCHS Track

    Casey track coach Matt Willoughby’s team of girls has taken a hit even before the season starts as senior Nicole Coffman went down in the basketball post-season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
    But just like basketball coach Randy Salyers and the Lady Rebs of the hardwood, Willoughby isn’t going to let that stop him.

  • Lady Rebels clinch three more wins

    The Lady Rebels continue their winning ways, getting big district wins and sweeping their district season series over Somerset and Pulaski County.

  • Rebels sweep season series with Somerset

    The Rebels got their third district win of the season Monday night to finish 3-3 in district standings.
    The Rebels hosted Somerset in a make-up boy-girl doubleheader that was postponed because of weather earlier this month. The Rebels forced the Jumpers to be a one-dimensional team and got the 52-37 victory.
    Somerset’s one dimension was Clayton Stringer, who produced 15 of Somerset’s first 17 points. By the game’s end he had scored 28 of the team’s 37 points, with 16 coming at the free throw line.

Hogue contributed 11 points. Casey’s defense was also stellar, holding the Lady Maroons to 38 points in the 51-38 victory.

  • Rebs get crucial district win over Rockcastle

    The Rebels grabbed a much-needed victory over district foe Rockcastle County Friday night as they led for most of the game and pulled away for a 61-49 win.
    The win gives Casey sole possession of second place in the district with a 2-1 record.
    “Without question, the district games are the most important. I was concerned going into the game because we hadn’t played in over a week,” Head Coach Todd Carman said.

  • Lady Rebs beat Franklin in Autism Awareness Classic

    The Lady Rebels locked up their tenth win of the season Saturday when they knocked off Franklin County (9-7) in the Autism Awareness Classic. The Classic, held at Marion County High School, raises funds for autism.
    The key to the Lady Rebel’s 58-54 victory was the team’s success in shooting the basketball. Casey shot 51 percent from the field and 86 percent from the charity stripe.
    “The biggest thing for us getting that win was shot selection. We found the right people and the right time and made the shots when we needed them,” Head Coach Randy Salyers said.

  • Lady Rebs outmatch Taylor for 52-42 win

    Defense was the key when the Lady Rebels traveled to Taylor County Jan. 4 to take on the Lady Cardinals. Despite facing a halftime deficit, the Lady Rebs’ defense rallied back to give Casey the 52-42 win.
    Going into the game, Salyers knew that Taylor County would be a tough opponent.
    “Like us, they are ranked about third or fourth in their region. They are very strong inside and we have had problems this year against teams with a good inside game,” Head Coach Randy Salyers said.
