  • SOFTBALL: Girls use spring break for work, play, wins

    A lot of work and a little play added up to Anderson County’s best day of the softball season on Saturday.


    Unlike recent years, the Lady Bearcats did not spend their spring break on the beaches at Gulf Shores, Ala. Instead they stayed home flipping tires and pushing sleds in an all-out conditioning effort. The prize on Saturday, however, was wins over Eastern and Daviess County in a three-way double-header at Eastern.


    Like Anderson, both Eastern and Daviess County are receiving votes to be placed in Kentucky’s Top 25.
