    Priorities
    Eleven-year-old Lane Gaunt looks through his reorganized rookie football cards in his bedroom, which he has been collecting the cards for the last year and a half. He says he has more cards than notebooks, so when he rearranges them, he has to take his old arrangement out and pile it back on the floor. Though his family has little, they are happy with what they do have. His stepfather, Troy says, “I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family.”

    The Let Down
    Silence filled the locker room during halftime for the LaRue County Hawks on Nov. 2, 2007. Coach Armes gave the team the silent treatment and stayed in his office, while the team sat in despair. Junior Eric Patterson, left, and junior Tyler Moore sat in the shower room mumbling and grunting. 'We've made an embarrassment of ourselves!' echoes through the field house as a teammate yells from across the hall. 'I don't have much to say.' Eric replied when asked to comment about the game so far. The Hawks lost to Warren East Raiders 40-14.

    Boys Don't Cry
    Austin Meredith, a senior, comforts Will Wilkerson after the Edmonson Co. High School Wildcats football team loses to Russelville Highschool in the semi-regional final. For Meredith, Nathan Smith, Steve Claudill and 11 other seniors, this would be their last game and the Wildcats first trip to the semi-finals since 1998. 'I am proud of you no matter what the outcome is i am proud of you and will always be here for you guys,' said Pierce. The final loss marked the end of a remarkable comeback season for the Edmonson Wildcats who hasn't been to the play offs in over 7 years.
