Approximately 210 seniors started their last year of school today with a parade. The seniors decorated their vehicles and received a police escourt from Jacks Shopping Center in town to the high school---continuing a longstanding tradition for the first day of school. After their arrival, teachers, staff, and underclassmen welcomed the seniors into the gym.
Barton Rutledge Wins Greenwood Invitational
Allen County-Scottsville senior Barton Rutledge made six birdies in a three-under round of 69 to capture first place in the Greenwood Invitational Monday (August 4) at the Bowling Green Country Club.
Rutledge---a Western Kentucky University commit---birdied the par-5 second hole, the par-4 six hole, and the par-4 eighth hole to post a 33 on the first nine holes. On the back nine, three boogies threatened Rutledge’s chances for the win. However, a birdie on the par-five 14th hole and back-to-back birdies on the 17th and 18th holes gave the Patriot senior a one stroke victory over freshman Miller Osbourne from Bethlehem.
The result was Rutledge’s first victory of the season after a series of solid finishes in tournaments in recent weeks in Franklin, Campbellsville, Bowling Green, and Glasgow. Rutledge’s win came at the BGCC course where he tied for second last fall in the Leachman Buick-GMC-Cadillac Kentucky High School Athletic Association state golf championship.
Senior teammate Owen Talbott posted a nine-over-par round of 81 to tie for 43rd in the 116-player field. Talbott shot a 38 on the front nine prior to dropping to a 43 on the last nine holes. AC-S freshman Lane Temple carded an 87, eighth-grader Simon Stamper finished with an 88, and junior Kaden Stinson closed with an 89.
The Patriots host Warren East Thursday afternoon around 4:30 at the Scottsville Country Club in their first head-to-head match of the season. Saturday, the golfers return to tournament play at the Shady Hollow Golf Course.

Lady Patriots Basketball welcomes back Coach Garry Dewitt!
Four Allen County-Scottsville High School seniors received prestigious awards during Class Night ceremonies on Saturday, April 26.
Houston Porter was selected for the Outstanding Senior Award. Emma Brown was presented with the Citizenship Award. Brenna Eaton and Dominic Vander Stroom received the Service to School and Community Award.
The Outstanding Senior Award is given to the senior who “has excelled academically, is socially accepted, shows leadership skills, is a good citizen, and is involved in school activities.” The AC-SH faculty selected Porter for the honor.
The Citizenship Award is presented to a senior who “must exhibit qualities of a good citizen---respect; honesty; integrity; and, concern for others. The student may be a leader or a follower, but must always be willing to accept their share of responsibility in any club or activity. The faculty based on her outstanding citizenship qualities selected Brown.
The Service to School and Community Award is based on the belief that “service to mankind is the very best work of life.” To be considered, a senior must be involved in both activities at school and participate in community activities that are not associated with the school. This year, a tie in voting by the faculty led to Eaton and Vander Stroom both receiving the award.
