The first-ever AVLFest made its debut over a long weekend in Asheville, bringing in 200+ artists to over 20 stages across town.

Austin Carter speaks to several featured artists scheduled to perform at the Lowertown Arts and Music Festival in Paducah, including Bee Taylor, the Sensational Barnes Brothers, Toubab Krewe, and Kyshona.

Father Tolton freshman Will Breitweiser did not start Tuesday’s game against the Jefferson City Jays, but he ended it. Down to the last out and trailing 3-1, Breitweiser belted the first pitch he saw for a go-ahead, three-run home run, the first hit and home run of his varsity career, that proved to be the difference in the Father Tolton Trailblazers’ 4-3 victory against the Jays at Jefferson City High School.

There was no shortage of offense Tuesday night at Jefferson City High School. The Battle Spartans and Jefferson City Jays combined for 23 runs on 27 hits, but the Spartans held on late for a 12-11 victory in Central Missouri Activities Conference play.

The longer the game went on, the more it looked like one break would be the deciding factor. The Jefferson City Jays and the Capital City Cavaliers were scoreless for more than 60 minutes into Tuesday night’s Central Missouri Activities Conference matchup at the 179 Soccer Park.
