Anderson showcased at Marshall County
If there were any lingering doubts concerning Anderson County's place among the Kentucky girls' soccer elite, the Lady Bearcats answered them with a strong showing in the Marshall County Showcase, held at Benton in far western Kentucky Friday and Saturday.
The event was not a tournament, as it had been in the past. A decision by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association to rescind some expanded schedules prompted the tournament to adopt a showcase format with some of the best teams in the state squaring off.

Gallant upset bid comes up short
VERSAILLES - Woodford County survived a scare from Anderson County but had enough firepower to post a 3-1 victory in boys' soccer action at Woodford County Park Thursday night.
The 10th-ranked Yellow Jackets used a relentless attack that was able to overcome Anderson's aggressive play to go 10-1-1 on the year and 5-0 in 25th District play. Anderson fell to 7-3-3 and 3-1 in district action.

Cats shatter J-town's upset hopes
JEFFERSONTOWN - To hear Anderson County football players recount their coaches' halftime speech at Jeffersontown Friday night, one gets the distinct impression of a bit of an understatement.
"They told us we were going to have to step it up and come out and play our game," senior Kenton Bottoms, invoking the almost universal clich used to describe a team not playing anywhere near its capability.
"They got on our butts pretty good," smiled team captain B.J. Robinson, another senior.

'Quality opponent' invades for homecoming festivities
When Anderson County's 2008 football schedule was announced, there was little doubt about which game would be selected for homecoming.
Sitting neatly right in the middle of the schedule was Bullitt Central, a team that went 3-8 a year ago and one that the Bearcats whipped 21-7 in Shepherdsville. With only four home games, the Cougars looked to fit the bill very nicely.
Someone forgot to tell Bullitt Central.

An Unsung Hero
If there is a poster boy for how football has changed over the last 40 years, it has to be Mitch Crawford.
Standing in at 6-feet and weighing 150 pounds as the quarterback who directed the Anderson County attack in 1968, Crawford would look almost frail compared to current signal caller Jacob Russell's 6-4, 215-pound frame.
But the size difference is small compared to the game itself.
"If Coach (Ray) Hager had run a shotgun offense like a lot of teams do today, we could have really put up some numbers," Crawford says.

Lady Cats express fury in Boyle tournament
Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd,
Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd.
- William Congreve, The Mourning Bride, 1697
Sorry, AC - Boyle 3 - 1;
Playing at home I like Boyle 4-0.
- Posters on KyPreps.com, predicting the Anderson County-Boyle County soccer match, Sept. 19, 2008.
DANVILLE - It really wasn't Boyle County's fault that Anderson County has not been feeling the love lately.

COLUMN: Game cancellation is a time to be thankful for local officials
Thoughts that popped up while trying to make contingency Friday night plans.
During the uncertainty that surrounded the eventual postponement of the Anderson County-Jeffersontown football game, I developed an even greater appreciation for those who run the Anderson County school system.
We don't always agree, but they are right on the money in resisting the misguided urge to make a blanket rule canceling all sports and extra curricular activities when weather causes school to be canceled.

Bearcats, J-town set to meet after storm
This was one time when football teams did not want the wind at their backs.
Or any other direction for that matter.
Anderson County got an unexpected week off last Friday when the Bearcats' game with Jeffersontown was a victim of the remnants of Hurricane Ike.
The massive wind storm created the largest power outage in Louisville history, including the 1974 tornado, and prompted cancellation of all Jefferson County public school extra-curricular activities last week.
