  • Cougars show potential in 14-8...

    Campbell County High School’s varsity baseball opener Monday afternoon at Clinton looked more like two different games.

    With three errors against them and faced with the grim prospect of being run-ruled, the Cougars rallied from a 12-0 deficit by scoring half a dozen runs in the top of the fifth inning to stay alive.

    Clinton eventually won, 14-8, but Campbell County proved it can play with its District 3-AAA rival when push comes to shove. Ryan Hutson was tagged with loss for the Cougars.

    Selflessness and sacrifice have always been trademarks of Jared Laverdiere’s game.

    Laverdiere just wrapped up a stellar career at Maryville College, where he led the Scots to four conference championships, four 20-win seasons and four appearances in the NCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Tournament.
