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.

When it came to treating last week’s homecoming game like any other varsity 8-man football game, Norborne Hardin-Central (NHC) did about as well as one could imagine, considering it was “a crazy week, with lots of stuff going on,” Aggies coach Andrew Watson said.

Orrick’s offensive line has a fan in Bearcats coach Kirk Thacker. “My offensive line is just absolutely fantastic,” Thacker said Monday by phone.
