Russellville High School’s Panthers fell 4–1 to University Heights Academy in Thursday night’s regular-season finale, despite a second-half goal from Eli Flippen. The match featured several standout moments, including a penalty-kick goal after a retake, and sends Russellville into the postseason with clear areas to sharpen before district tournament play.

• $50k winning Powerball ticket sold at Kroger in Jeffersontown

A recent Powerball drawing included a $50,000 winning ticket bought in Russellville, putting the town on a short list of Kentucky communities with big winners in the current jackpot run.
