Schools Continue to See an Increase in Student Engagement Due to Phone Restriction

Five years ago, teachers struggled having students who participated in class. Instead of participating, students were focused on their phones. Even when the teacher requested that they be put away, students were more focused on how to sneak back onto their phones instead of paying attention in class. Now, since the Kentucky phone restriction law has been implemented in schools, teachers feel they have gotten their students back and have noticed a boost in participation and engagement.

South Oldham girls soccer stopped by Central Hardin in KHSAA state final

LEXINGTON — An early goal and a shutdown defense was all Central Hardin High School needed to capture its first girls soccer state championship. Audrey McGee scored in the sixth minute as Central Hardin beat South Oldham 1-0 on Saturday, Nov. 7, in the championship match of the state tournament at Lexington Sporting Club Stadium . Senior goalkeeper Hannah Ferguson and tournament MVP Gabrielle Callahan took care of the rest, anchoring a Central Hardin defense that posted its 14th straight shutout and 24th of the season. The Bruins allowed just six goals all year. “Our whole team plays really hard,” Central Hardin coach Justin Maddock said. “If you look at the end, we’ve got our forwards up there sliding and tackling and making blocks. And when you have a talented back line and goalkeeper, that makes it even harder.” Ranked No. 1 in the state and No. 4 in the nation by United Soccer Coaches , Central Hardin (25-0-3) became Kentucky's first undefeated state champion since Notre Dame went 28-0-1 in 2021. Central Hardin also became just the second public school in seven years to win the state title. “We proved that with the right people and the right coaching,

Different days off for Fayette and Jessamine schools ‘play havoc' with families

Some families who have children attending schools in both Jessamine and adjoining Fayette County tell Jessamine School Board Chair Steven Scrivner that the districts having different days off “does play havoc.” So on Friday morning, Scrivner sent an email to his counterparts in Fayette County to see if the two districts can better align their fall and spring breaks and other days off going forward. “Many of our teachers and staff live in one county and work in the other. A number of families have children in both districts and youth sports draw from both communities. When our breaks fall on different weeks, those families end up arranging childcare and time off twice, and teams lose players for practices and games,” he said. Scrivner told the Herald-Leader that Jessamine County takes out-of-district students. If a family moves from Fayette to Jessamine County and has a high school student who wants to finish up at Fayette’s Paul Laurence Dunbar, their younger child might be newly enrolled in a Jessamine County middle school. He asked if leaders from the two districts could meet. By Friday afternoon, Fayette school board chairman Tyler Murphy had a response: “I spoke with our Interim Superintendent (Bill

St. Xavier soccer caps unbeaten season with latest KHSAA state title

LEXINGTON — After capturing the program’s 18th state championship, only one question remained for the 2026 St. Xavier High School soccer team . Best St. X squad ever? The Tigers stated their case Saturday, Nov. 7, overwhelming Paul Dunbar 5-0 in the championship match of the state tournament at Lexington Sporting Club Stadium . It was a near-perfect finish to a perfect season. “Dunbar had a heck of a season, and they’re a great team," St. X coach Andy Schulten said. "They just caught us on a hot, hot day. Once we got that first goal to go in and then we followed with another, we knew they couldn’t really sit back on us. It was just, ‘Run at them!’” St. X (25-0-1) completed the first undefeated season by a Kentucky boys soccer team since also accomplishing the feat during a 27-0-2 campaign in 2012. The Tigers won their second straight state title and third in the past four years. Along with its No. 1 state ranking, St. X is ranked No. 2 in the nation by United Soccer Coaches .
