It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always.
They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.
However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting the historic Ward Hall gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.
Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Georgetown, KY is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.
Home Care Services
Service AreasSince 1996, Always Best Care has provided non-medical in-home care for seniors to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle as they get older. We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect. We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of in-home care available so that they may live happily and independently.
Unlike some senior care companies, we genuinely want to be included in our clients' lives. We believe that personalized care is always the better option over a "one size fits all" approach. To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs. That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.
The Always Best Care difference lies in life's little moments - where compassionate care and trustworthy experience come together to help seniors live a fruitful, healthy life. Whether you are an aging adult that can't quite keep up with life's daily tasks or the child of a senior who needs regular in-home services, Always Best Care is here to help.

“I highly, highly recommend this company if you're considering in home care in Lexington KY”
“Always Best Care is truly a wonderful agency. My brother and I did research on an in-home caregiver and ABC was one of three that we chose to interview. Always Best Care surpassed by far any of the other agencies. They maintain consistent contact with me (her daughter), post after each visit so that I can see what was done, either answer or return calls promptly. Caregiver Amanda is an angel. She goes far beyond simple care. As my mother says, "She babies me," which is exactly what my mother needs. I cannot say enough good things about this agency and Amanda. Everything has exceeded my expectations and I am grateful that we chose them.”
“Always Best Care has been wonderful to work with during my parents' health issues. Their senior management works very hard to match their care givers with their clients and spends time to make sure things get off to a great start. The first impressions are outstanding and the care my parents have received is First Class.”
“Thank you so much for sending sweet Asani to help my aunt and uncle! Growing older has it's challenges, but ABC and your wonderful staff have eased the stresses surrounding our situation. As my aunt says, she is her "Angel", which means she is an angel to the entire family! Bless you!”

Their team is professional, attentive, and well-trained, ensuring personalized care plans tailored to the needs of my father. One of the standout features of Always Best Care is their commitment to quality and communication. They make sure to regularly update family members and adjust care plans as needed. We really appreciate the agency’s flexibility, offering both part-time and full-time care, along with respite services. The company goes above and beyond to ensure that their caregivers are a great match for each individual, fostering trust and comfort. Overall, Always Best Care delivers reliable and compassionate home health care, making them a trusted choice for families seeking in-home support.”
“The best in the business! I had a great experience”
“From our first interaction, everyone has been very professional and caring. They have given me peace of mind by taking excellent care of my Dad after he returned home from the hospital. I highly recommend Always Best Care Senior Services and will turn to them again if we ever need home care services in the future.”
“Compassionate, caring, patient and professional. Look no further than Always Best Care for the care of your loved ones. Trustworthy and consistent in the way they run their business, there is no one else I would even consider. Thank you Sarah!”
“We have been THRILLED with the care we have received through Always Best Care! My husband and I were treated with dignity and respect and felt that the administrative team listened to our needs and met them. Our worker, Rose, is a gem! She is responsive and willing to do anything to help us, but also willing to sit quietly if we don’t need her at the moment. We can’t imagine receiving better care and we thank you!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Always Best Care and the service they provide to my disabled father. They have worked hand-in-glove with the VA for my father’s care. Everyone - and I do mean everyone - from ownership down to the daily aides who provide direct care to my father, have shown him the kindness and dignity you would hope to receive from a family member. Any issues we have ever had have been addressed promptly, even during weekends. Sarah and her team are hands on - I doubt many owners of similar companies make house visits like Sarah has. Any new aide who has been provided for my father has had personal introduction by a member of management, and we have had management team members step up to the plate when there have been scheduling issues to ensure my father received the daily assistance he needs. I recommend ABC highly and can’t thank them enough for all that they do. 5 Stars across the board!”
“They have a great team and really seem like they care!!”
“Always Best Care Of Lexington is a wonderful place of employment. Within my time along side the company, the office staff and management has treated me like family. I go to work everyday with a smile on my face and I’m content about what I am doing and know that our clients will be receiving 100%, the best possible care. If I had a family member who needed a personal care giver (or in search for a job) I would definitely recommend “ABC” to them. 10/10.”
“Our family can't say enough about Always Best Care and taking care of our Dad these past months. The caregivers are angels and so thoughtful and attentive to our Dad. He could be grouchy at times, and they were so patient with him. As his health degraded, the caregiver staff was rotated to accommodate his changing needs and we seemed to have just the right person for the right stage. He really bonded with several and looked forward to seeing them each day. Thank you so much for all your support we could not have done this without you.”
“Always Best Care has been a God-send for us. The staff is so kind and our in home caregiver, Annie, is amazing and such a tremendous help! I’m not sure that she isn’t part angel!”
“ABC has provided in-home care for my mother for the past ten months. We appreciate how the team at ABC worked to find the right personality and skill fit for our needs and schedule. The team is both caring and responsive. In addition, the management team has consistently followed up to ensure that ABC is meeting or exceeding expectations. ABC is a quality organization with quality and personable staff.”

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.
When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.
The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.
At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.

Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting Georgetown Waterfront Park with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Fiola Mare or visit Georgetown Historic District, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.
At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.
If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.
In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.
How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?
A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.
With the help of elderly care in Georgetown, KY, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.
Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.
Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.
For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.
More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.
In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.
With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.
In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.
Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.
At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.
In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:
When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.
Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.
At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Georgetown, KY understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.
Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.
Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.
While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.
Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.
At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.
Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:
At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.
Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.
Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:
For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:
A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.
If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Georgetown, KY 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.
When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

Central Kentucky is getting another Publix.
The Florida-based supermarket chain has leased on a new location in Georgetown, about 30 minutes north of Lexington in Scott County, the company announced on Aug. 13.
Publix at Elkhorn Village Center will open on the southwest corner of Frankfort Road and McClelland Circle, and will employ approximately 150 people. There is no projected open date for the store or anticipated construction start.
Publix didn’t share an opening date for other Central Kentucky stores until about a month before customers could start shopping.
“We are excited to continue our growth across Kentucky with a new location in Georgetown,” said media relations manager Jared Glover in an email. “We look forward to our new customers experiencing the Publix difference soon.”
The 50,325-square-foot supermarket will be adjacent to Publix Liquors. Publix Super Market locations typically also include pharmacy services, online ordering and delivery, a floral department and hot bar and deli section.
Unlike Kroger, Meijer, Sam’s Club and Costco — all of which have a presence in Central Kentucky — Publix does not operate fuel pumps or gas stations.
The first Central Kentucky Publix opened in Lexington on March 5 in the Citation Point shopping center on Stockton Way off Georgetown Road and Citation Boulevard. That location is more than 46,790 square feet.
On June 4, Lexington’s second Publix opened in the Fountains of Palomar shopping center on Fountainblue Lane off Harrodsburg Road and Man o’ War Boulevard. The Palomar store is approximately 55,701 square feet and has larger ready-to-eat section.
A similarly sized Publix opened in Louisville on Jan. 10, 2024, and was the chain’s first in Kentucky.
There are two other planned Publix locations for the area: one on Romany Road in Lexington’s Chevy Chase neighborhood in a former Kroger and another in Nicholasville, a city 30 minutes south of Lexington in Jessamine County.
In March, the Herald-Leader conducted a price comparison experiment and found relatively higher prices at Publix, though its regular shoppers often say the quality and item selection, clean facilities and customer service are worth the trade-off. A five-month analysis of prices at Kroger, Meijer and Publix done by the paper also show since President Donald Trump took office after making promises on the campaign trail to make groceries cheaper, prices have increased slightly.

GEORGETOWN, Ky. (LEX 18) — A Georgetown pediatrician who dedicated nearly four decades to caring for Kentucky's children received a bittersweet honor as he faces an incurable cancer diagnosis. The health battle has forced him to step away from the career he loves.
Dr. Horace Hambrick, founder of Georgetown Pediatrics, was recognized as the 2025 Kentucky Immunization Champion during an emotional ceremony at his practice Tuesday afternoon.
"This honor recognizes one individual in Kentucky who has made a lasting impact on vaccine education, access, and public trust," said Daphne Spalding from the Kentucky Department for Public Health's immunization branch.
The recognition came at a difficult time for Dr. Hambrick, who received a diagnosis of synovial sarcoma this year - an incurable form of cancer that has forced his retirement after 39 years of practice.
"He never wanted to retire…and this is about as close to a retirement gathering as we could possibly have,” his wife Willow told the room of healthcare workers and friends. “I thank everyone for being here and this honor.”
Dr. Hambrick explained that his health left him no choice but to step away from the practice he founded.
"The severity of this illness, there's no other option, I have no option," he said. "I look okay right now, just down 30 pounds, but last week, I had excruciating pain from a lot of directions."
From his office, his cane leaning against his desk, he explained, "I couldn't have done it. It was a decision that got made for me, and that's just the way it was, but I hated it nonetheless," he added.
Throughout his career, Dr. Hambrick maintained a commitment to public health, inclusive care, and children's wellbeing. A little black notebook from 1986 documents the thousands of patients he has treated over the years, a notebook he still uses today.
"I tried to make this place a place that anyone who worked here felt pride in. I always tried to say, ‘What greater gift can you have than trying to help little kids get better?’” Dr. Hambrick said.
As he faces a brutal diagnosis, Dr. Hambrick credits his faith and family support for motivation.
"Deep faith. I've always had a deep faith, and this has not shaken it, but it doesn't mean I'm not upset about it, doesn't mean I don't have a ton of questions, but yet I still have a deep conviction that I'm gonna be fine, and I believe that. My family has been unbelievable," Dr. Hambrick said.
His children and grandchildren have traveled from New York, Chicago, Kansas City and Kenya to offer their support.
As one colleague told him during the ceremony: "There’s not a soul that you have met that I don’t think you haven’t touched in your lifetime.”
In a message posted to Georgetown Pediatrics’ Facebook page, Dr. Hambrick said:
Dear current and former Parents and Caregivers of Children of Georgetown Pediatrics,It has been one of the great joys of my life to have started Georgetown Pediatrics in 1986 and to have had the opportunity to care for children and families in this community, with in many cases, me having been the doctor for three different generations in the same family. I cannot explain to you how unique a blessing this has been to me. This opportunity has fulfilled a dream to bring great pediatric care to our community and to our part of central Kentucky and the success of the practice has always astonished me.By now, many of you have heard that I have a synovial sarcoma that originated from my right kidney. It is not curable. I have been undergoing radiation treatment and other various evaluations and at this point it is obvious that I will not ever be able to return to the practice of full time medicine. This is actually a heartbreaking decision for me, as I never intended to retire, and I have enjoyed the many wonderful relationships that I have had with you these last 39 years.I leave your medical, behavioral, and mental health care in excellent hands as the nine other providers of Georgetown Pediatrics are fully capable of taking over from me. In many cases this may be a transition that is not as smooth as you like and if for some reason you feel like you have ended up with a provider that is not your choice, or you think the best choice for your child, please feel free to let our office know. We will make every attempt to line you up correctly, with a physician of your choice.It is my fervent hope that all of your children will continue to thrive, that they will grow up to be the best versions of themselves possible and that our practice will continue to earn and deserve the high trust that you have already given us by allowing us to take care of your precious children.

With his players circled around him, Scott County head football coach Jim McKee’s voice reached a thunderous crescendo.
“It’s not about being back,” McKee firmly said.
His players seemed to know what was coming next.
“We! Never! Left!” was their unified response.
Such was the postgame cry from McKee’s Cardinals, who knocked off rival Great Crossing 42-21 Friday night in front of a packed house at Warhawk Stadium in Georgetown. The result restored Scott County’s position of superiority in the budding football rivalry — and make no mistake, this is a proper rivalry — with Great Crossing.
Last year, the Warhawks christened the Cardinals’ new stadium by winning their first game in the series in dominant fashion. This year, Scott County returned the favor with a triumph at Great Crossing. (Warhawk Stadium was formerly known as Birds Nest Stadium when the two schools shared the facility for five years.)
Scott County has won seven of the eight all-time meetings in the Battle of the Birds between the two Georgetown schools.
“We are the standard-setter, in our opinion, for athletics in Scott County,” McKee said after the game. “I think, if you go ask 10 sports fans: ‘What comes to your mind when you think of Scott County sports?’ About eight of them say Scott County High School football … We’ve got a lot of pride man. We care a lot.”
Scott County got four total touchdown contributions Friday from sophomore quarterback Charlie Ellison — two passing touchdowns to junior tight end Anderson Owens and a pair of rushing scores — to go along with touchdown runs from juniors Nick Ranson and Timmy Emongo. It was Emongo’s 7-yard score just before halftime that put Scott County in front for good, 21-14, after Great Crossing battled back from first-half deficits of 7-0 and 14-7.
Ranson led the Cardinals with 133 yards rushing.
As a freshman, Ellison watched from the sideline last year as Great Crossing recorded a dominant 46-15 win on the opening night of Scott County’s new facility. Over the ensuing 364 days, Ellison and his Scott County teammates and coaches heard plenty of talk about that result. McKee even quipped that he had to change barber shops because of the reminders about that loss.
Any doubt about how the 2025 contest between the Cardinals and Warhawks would go was erased in the second half, with Ellison playing a starring role. He found Owens for touchdown passes of 30 and 35 yards in the third quarter to give Scott County separation, before Ellison capped Scott County’s scoring himself by breaking free on a quarterback sneak and dashing into the end zone for a 32-yard score with just under seven minutes to play.
“It’s a rivalry game, we’re pumped up. Pressure makes diamonds, so I just went and balled out,” said Ellison, who noted that Buffalo Wild Wings would be the victorious postgame meal of choice for the Cardinals.
McKee acknowledged that the chatter from last year’s loss to Great Crossing carried over into this year for Scott County, a departure from the norm.
“Our motto all week was, ‘Restore the order in the county,’” McKee said. “And order is restored.”
McKee’s run-heavy style has produced major results thus far in 2025. The Cardinals are at 758 total yards rushing through two games. Emongo — a two-way player who holds scholarship offers from Kentucky and Louisville, among other schools — has four rushing scores himself.
Scott County, now 2-0 after an opening win against George Rogers Clark, is hitting its stride before a marquee home matchup next week against Bowling Green. The Purples (0-2) are the two-time defending Class 5A state champions and have reached the Class 5A state title game in three straight seasons.
“We’re confident, but there are a lot of things we still need to fix,” Ellison, Scott County’s sophomore quarterback, said. “We need to keep our nose in the dirt and keep grinding, because the job’s not finished.”
Great Crossing’s advantage in the annual Battle of the Birds series lasted only a year, but the Warhawks showed improvement Friday compared to last week’s home loss to Franklin County. Junior quarterback Sam Penn had a pair of first-half rushing touchdowns to keep the game close, and star senior running back Luke Ballard powered into the end zone on a 9-yard rush in the second half for the Warhawks’ only score after halftime.
Ballard, a potential Mr. Football candidate, led all players with 182 yards rushing and now has 341 yards rushing and three rushing touchdowns on the season.
The Warhawks (0-2) will go for their first win next week at Woodford County (2-0).

GEORGETOWN, Ky. (LEX 18) — Colleagues, first responders and friends gathered at Georgetown Community Hospital Tuesday evening to honor Dr. Horace Hambrick, a beloved pediatrician who has served the Kentucky community for nearly four decades.
The emotional vigil celebrated Hambrick's legacy of selflessness and compassion as he faces an incurable cancer diagnosis that has forced him to step back from his practice.
Hambrick founded Georgetown Pediatrics in and dedicated his career to serving and caring for children throughout Kentucky. His commitment to public health and inclusive care has left a lasting impact on the community.
"He is a wonderful soul. He is incredibly intelligent. But his biggest attribute is his compassion," said Dr. Kristy Menke.
Dr. Menke, who joined Georgetown Pediatrics more than 30 years ago, shared the lessons she learned from working alongside Dr. Hambrick.
"Children need to be our focus," she said. "Because they are our future. And he always wanted every child to be the best that they could be."
Dr. Hambrick's influence has spanned generations of families in Georgetown. Many current patients are the children of people Dr. Hambrick treated decades ago.
"Many times we're seeing second generation, we're seeing parents who were patients when they were children. And they've stayed because they love Dr. Hambrick," Dr. Menke explained.
The vigil concluded with prayers for comfort and strength for Dr. Hambrick and his family during this difficult time.
Family and friends from around the world were able to participate in the vigil through a livestream, demonstrating the far-reaching impact of Dr. Hambrick's career in pediatric medicine.
The Georgetown community continues to rally around the doctor whose dedication to children's health and wellbeing has touched countless lives throughout his distinguished career.

?FRANKFORT, Ky. (Aug. 18, 2025) — Removal of a low-head dam owned by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources at Great Crossing Park in Georgetown, Kentucky – on the North Fork of Elkhorn Creek – is scheduled to start Aug. 18 and conclude by Aug. 29, 2025.
A media availability will be held from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Aug. 19, offering reporters an opportunity to interview department officials about the project and capture photos and video footage. The site will be closed to public access throughout the demolition and bank improvement work.
The low-head dam will be removed primarily due to safety concerns and the dam’s structural problems. The site has been the scene of a number of drownings through the years, with the most recent occurring in 2021 and 2022.
Taking out the aging 200-foot-long dam will improve water quality and restore the creek’s natural flow for fish and other aquatic animals. Returning the stagnant pool behind the dam to flowing water is expected to benefit the fishery, with increases in species such as smallmouth bass, rock bass and native mussels.
For background, Kentucky Fish and Wildlife recently produced an informational video on the dangers of low-head dams - Low-Head Dams: Dangerous, Outdated, Damaging.
What: Great Crossing low head dam removal, Georgetown, Ky.
Where: Great Crossing Park; Directions from Interstate 75 and US-460: travel approximately 4 miles on US-460 W and East Main Street through downtown Georgetown, Ky., turn right onto KY-227 N/Stamping Ground Road, turn right on Betsy Way, then turn left onto Great Crossing Park Road.
Who: Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources Commissioner Rich Storm; Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Engineering, Infrastructure and Technology Division Director Kevin Rexroat, Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Fisheries Division Director Dave Dreves, and Kentucky Waterways Alliance Executive Director Michael Washburn.
