RECORDER
Beechwood’s Cameron Vocke (left) turns to the goal line for the game-winning two-point conversion during Beechwood’s 40-39 doubleovertime win Oct. 30 at Newport Stadium. Vocke fumbled as he was hit at the goal line, prompting controversy over whether he scored the two points. A definitive picture of him crossing the goal line was too blurry for print.
Scott junior Ryan Stivers rises on the shoulders of teammates and Scott students after Stivers’ three-pointer won the 37th District championship Feb. 27 at Campbell County Middle School.

Simon Kenton’s Ryan Winkler (35) skies to recover an onside kick attempt against defense from Ryle sophomore Jaquori Lewis (33) during their Class 6A regional football final Nov. 19 at Ryle. While Winkler recovered, the play was called back for fair-catch interference because Ryle senior Zach Senvisky (24) had called for a fair catch. Ryle won the game to end SK’s season.
