Harmon's hat-trick leads LWC to victory over Thomas More

By Kyrin Mayfield

Cyrus Harmon lit up the pitch with three goals on Thursday as the No. 8 Lindsey Wilson men's soccer team defeated Thomas More (Ky.) 3-1 at Blue Raider Stadium.

The match was the third time in five days the Blue Raiders took to the pitch.

Lindsey Wilson (5-2-1, 5-1-1 Mid-South Conference) was in control early on, as the Blue Raiders possessed the ball for a majority of the opening 10 minutes and had a couple of chances, though unsuccessful.

With 35:12 left in the first half, Hugo Sias floated a ball from 40 yards out to Harmon in the center of Thomas More's goal box. The midfielder trapped the pass with his body, took one dribble, and shot it past the Saints' keeper for the opening goal.

LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 3/18/2021

By Amy Tomlinson
Lake Cumberland District Health Department

Our new cases went down slightly compared to last Thursday, so our 7-day average incidence rate went down as well. We now have 6 counties in the "yellow-community-spread" category, Adair, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, Green, and Russell; and 4 counties in the "orange-accelerated" range of community-spread: McCreary, Pulaski, Taylor, and Wayne. None of our counties are presently in the "red-critical" range.

While cases are still dropping for the moment in the United States, it should be noted that on the global level, cases have started to rise again. Countries like Brazil, India, France, Italy, and Germany are seeing sharp increases. Therefore, please don't assume that the pandemic is completely behind us and take the vaccine as soon as you can. Also, until the vaccine is widely available, and a significant percentage of the population has taken in, let's all do our part in slowing the spread of COVID-19 by wearing our face coverings, avoiding crowds (especially in confined spaces), social distancing when around others, increasing our hand hygiene, increasing our general sanitation, and by avoiding touching our faces.

Statewide Testing Positivity Rate: 3.23%.
