By Kyle Jackson

For the first time in program history, No. 1-ranked Lindsey Wilson football recorded its first back-to-back shutout of an opponent after defeating No. 13 Georgetown (KY) 35-0 this afternoon. The Blue Raiders defeated Thomas More (KY) 47-0 a week ago.

The story of the game was the Blue Raiders (5-0, 2-0 MSC Bluegrass Division) defense as Luke Bowman put in a shift today recording 10 tackles, two and a half sacks, and an interception in the game. In addition to Bowman's efforts, the Blue Raider defense recorded 11 tackles for a loss for a total of 57 lost yards on the Tigers offense including eight sacks on the Georgetown quarterback.

Carol Perkins: The Nosy Raccoon

Previous Column: Carol Perkins: The Good Dog

By Carol Perkins


At one o'clock in the morning, I was reading a book, hoping sleep would come. The first sound coming from the back of the house I attributed to an animal running across the porch or the wind blowing down another limb. The noise grew louder and whatever was making the racket was close.

Without hesitation, I eased into the breakfast room and flipped on the porch light in time to see a mammoth raccoon climbing on my patio couch. For a few minutes, I watched as he put his front paws on the back of the couch, his back paws on the bottom cushions, pulled himself up, and stuck his nose to the dining room window.

Phillip Coffey - Oft in the Distance

By Phillip Coffey
Common folk and their critters run under their planked porches
When they hear him exclaiming as he in the distance - approaches.
Be sure to hide the women and small children - chicken brood as well.
Election season is upon us -bundle up real good for the duration.

He be so effective, deceiving - borders Ghost and Gobelins in his pleading
For your support with all your funds and total unabashed commitment.
Just pull the correct lever - all your problems solved - quickly relieving.
On my goodness, listen ! oft in the distance -'this po' man be a-leaving'.
