Scott County softball soars into state semifinals
GEORGETOWN, Ky. (FOX 56) — The Scott County softball team is two wins away from a state championship after stepping up last week with some big-time wins over Bullitt East and Rowan County at John Cropp Stadium. 'Take one hit at a time, one inning at a time, one day at a time, one game,' Head Coach James Wagoner said. 'That's kind of been the message over the past month, you know, from district to, you know, a week later, the region, then a week later, you know, the opening round of this.' Kentucky Lottery winner plans 'me time', eyes small business after deadly tornado London is three-fourths finished with cleanup efforts after deadly tornado: Mayor 1 dead, 2 injured after crash in Adair County The Cardinals won three state championships between 2014 and 2018, but now they will have to take on the defending state champs, Henderson County, who won it all in 2024 and were the state runner-up in 2023. 'We've prepared for this all year, and it's something that we talked about like this is our goal, this is our moment right now,' Senior Outfielder Maddie Skibo. 'We're so grateful for this opportunity, and we just can't wait to be able to play in these last, hopefully two games, and win this title.' Scott County star senior pitcher, Ada Little, has thrown every pitch so far in the Cardinals' state tournament campaign.

Carolina Ascent star prepares for playoffs in team's first season
The Carolina Ascent just finished their first season in the USL Super League and are now preparing for their first playoff run. The soccer club credits much of their success to the team's leading scorer Mia Corbin. Advertisement The team's general manager Philip Poole said that it's not just about Mia the soccer player. 'You know, there's a lot of football and soccer accolades that you can give her, but it starts with she is a phenomenal person,' said Poole. As early as she can remember, Corbin played both soccer and softball and one point she considered the diamond her best friend. Big crowds expected in Uptown as Taste of Charlotte, ballgames take over the weekend 'The first black female athlete I saw was a softball player, so ultimately that's what drove me to want to play sports because I was like if she can do it too, I can do it,' said Corbin. Advertisement 'I was like 10 years old. My grandpa had season tickets to the UW softball games. Her name was Dena Tyson. She kind of mentored me too. It was really cool. I'm really thankful to her and my grandpa obviously for taking me to the games,' said Corbin.

Corbin says that soccer also offered the rare shot in women's sports to go pro. 'That was my goal. I just wanted to play professionally. Softball unfortunately it's not there yet. I just want to help drive the younger generation to want to play women's professional sports because I think it's awesome, we're awesome,' said Corbin.
