LEXINGTON – The general consensus among Richmond and Hardin-Central cross country runners about the Battle of Lexington Invitational, staged Oct. 8 on the Lexington High School campus, was this: It was a great date and place to run.

Richmond didn’t wear its usual red or white jerseys on Oct. 6, when the Spartans fell to Lexington 3-0 at Lexington in varsity volleyball action.

For one moment, around 9:30 p.m. Oct.

CARROLLTON – Richmond varsity volleyball coach Crystal Turner had high hopes for her Spartans for the Carrollton Tournament. “We took second there last year and I’d really like to see us win out this year,” Turner said Sept. 29.

If Orrick varsity 8-man football coach Kirk Thacker had his say, his undefeated Bearcats wouldn’t play Norborne Hardin-Central (NHC) Friday night at Norborne. Or any day or night of the week.

The Spartans took out some of their frustrations from their 18-12 Week 5 loss to Lafayette County of Higginsville during their Sept. 30 homecoming game with Carrollton.

HIGGINSVILLE – Richmond varsity coach Nick Persell and senior quarterback Donivin Williams agreed after Richmond’s 18-12 Sept. 23 road loss to undefeated Lafayette County of Higginsville that an incomplete pass by Williams on fourth-and-13 with about 90 seconds left didn’t cost the Spartans the football game.
