  • Cougars remain upbeat after...

    Campbell County High School’s football team would be hard-pressed to find an opponent better than the defending Class 3A state champion Knoxville Catholic team it scrimmaged last spring.

    Whether it was on the road or at home, the Campbell County High School varsity baseball team just could not seem to catch a break last week in non-conference games against Fulton and Carter.

    Campbell County racked up nine hits but had trouble getting runners home. Justin Willoughby and Andrew Dykes each got a pair of singles, while Joe Goins, Lance Webber, Andy Hickman, Chris Hutson and Ryan Hutson each had a base hit.
