We’re running a vote right now on wlky.com about what the top stories were of 2011. It runs through Friday. Here’s my top 3…
1) KY Speedway first ever sprint cup race: between and fun Quaker State 400 won by Kyle Busch and the 16 miles of traffic jams, it was an event to remember with historic implications.
2) Trinity Football wins mythical national championship: The Rocks finished #1 in at least 4 national polls after winning a 9th KY big school title in 11 years. We may not see this again in our lifetimes. Except maybe next year, as many of the still players return for their senior seasons.
3) Bellarmine Basketball wins the Division 2 National Championship. It was a first for a historic The Knights and that’s something that stands out over many good stories this year.
