Tennis: LWC 2023 Season Preview The Lindsey Wilson men's and women's tennis teams prepare for the upcoming 2023 season as head coaches Camilo Erazo and Gema Mendoza have unveiled their team's schedule. Both Erazo and Mendoza enter into their second seasons with the Blue Raiders. Erazo's men's side finished 2022 going 20-4, adding on a perfect 10-0 in Mid-South Conference play, throughout the regular season and falling to Middle Georgia State in the NAIA Championships Second Round. Mendoza's women's side ended the 2022 season after being down by Top-Ranked and eventual national champion Georgia Gwinnett in the NAIA National Championships Quarterfinals following a 23-4 season, while also being an undefeated 10-0 in MSC play.

"My expectations are very high, I would like to go back-to-back with the Mid-South Conference Championship as well as regular season champions. Grab another semi-finals or finals at the indoor national tournament and outdoor national tournament. The objective is to go match after match." The schedule consists of 18 events for the men and 17 for the women, eight of which are at home at the Henry Baughman Tennis Complex.

Kentucky Color: Confluence to Confluence By Billy Joe Fudge Linda's picture of the confluence of Little Renox and Big Renox Creeks got me to thinking about a 50 year old question that has never been answered, even once. My entry level job with Kentucky Division of Forestry was as the Adair County Ranger. Joe Johnson was our Seasonal Ranger/Fire Plow Operator. Back in the days before we had airplane coverage to find wildfires, spotters in fire towers would see smokes and we Rangers would have to find them to ascertain whether they were legal burning, illegal burning or wildfires. Often we would be fairly close to the smoke and would stop to ask a local resident if they knew how far away the fire might be so we could figure out which road or pig path might get us to it.
