Lightning may have
led officials to postpone
over half of Friday night's
football match-up at home
between Bath and PoweU
Counties until Saturday
morning, but that didn't
keep the Wildcats from
dominating the field over
both days as they got the
convincing win, 40-13.
Game officials stopped
the game when lightning
became frequent to the
south on Friday evening
with 8 minutes left in the
2nd quarter, and play re-
sumed from then on Sat-
urday morning in heavy
rain showers.
The Wildcats controlled
the game's momentum
across all four quarters

Owingsville now has
its very own martial arts
school, Noble Dragon Ken-
po Karate School, and the
instructor brings a wealth
of experience to her stu-
dents.
Joyce Knight began offer-
ing martial arts classes at
the Bath County Board An-
nex Office last August, and
she quickly realized she
needed more space.
She eventually relocated
to the old Boyd's Restau-
rant building in the "pock-
et" at 33 South Court Street . She is also a certified scuba diving Mixed martial arts competitors

male Instructor of the Year.
"When I learned, I was not treated
as a woman," she said. "I was taught
just the same as the men in the class.
I got the satisfaction of knowing that
I could compete against men in the
school and in competitions."
And she has the winning trophies
to prove it. "But they are not my
pride and joy," she added.
Classes are held on Mondays and
Thursdays, beginning at 5 p.m.
Classes are divided into ages 3 to 5;
youth; and adult.
For the little ones, Knight says
she wants to introduce them to the
art and to develop self-discipline as a
foundation for further learning.
For the older kids, she emphasizes
the self-confidence that comes from
that discipline.
And for adults, there are the bene-
fits that come from learning
to defend yourself on the
street, and "knowing when
to walk away," Knight adds.
She noted that working
with kids has made her a
better person and that she
is grateful in her classes to
get to "borrow" children
and help them become
strong and more self-confi-
dent.
This past Tuesday she
held her first women's kick-
boxing class and put the
participants through what
she called "a light workout."
She would eventually
like to offer a women's self-
defense class on Tuesdays
and to create a an-all ages
demonstration team for the
school.
Knight is always accept-
ing new students at the
school: "
If you are interested in
taking that next step to-
ward developing more con-
fidence and self-discipline,
give Knight a call at 859-
404-1046.
