  • ALL IN THE FAMILIES

    At least two Anderson County basketball players can get some advice on what to expect Thursday night when the Bearcats take on Elliott County in the Sweet 16.

    Senior Walt Ruggles and junior Jacob Russell are apparently the first Anderson players to follow a parent on a Sweet 16 team.

    David Ruggles, Walt’s dad, played on Anderson’s first Sweet 16 team in 1971 that made it all the way to the championship game before losing to Male. Judy Russell made it to the girls’ Sweet 16 in 1978. That team lost to Owensboro in the first round.

  • Penny's buzzer-beater propels Bearcats to state tourney

    NEW CASTLE – There was never any doubt in C.J. Penny’s mind.

    Anderson advances to the Sweet 16 for just the fourth time in school history and the first time since 1997.

  • GO BEARCATS: High school sold out of ticket allotment

    Anderson County High School sold out of its allotment of Sweet 16 tickets Monday morning.

    The school received approximately 800 pep section tickets from the Kentucky High School Athletic Association that were gone within 15 minutes of being put on sale. The school is unsure if it will be able to get more tickets from the KHSAA.

  • Time to allow Sunday package sales

    It’s a wonder Lexington continues to exist now that a full two years have passed since the Urban County Council OK’d Sunday sales of packaged alcohol.

    On that fateful day in December of 2007, people there (and from here if they want to drive 30 miles) were allowed to buy beer, wine or whatever they wanted.

    Despite the outrage of those opposed to Sunday sales, brimstone has yet to rain from the sky over Fayette County, and the area has yet to be consumed by hellfire, or whatever.

  • Cats collar Owen in semis

    NEW CASTLE – Anderson County might have been wearing red uniforms, but the Bearcats were blue collar Monday night.

    Make that a blue collar team that put a real collar on a Owen County to advance to the Eighth Region tournament championship game at Henry County High School.

    Trailing 19-17 at halftime, the Bearcats limited Owen to nine second half points on the way to a 45-28 win. The Bearcats ran off the first 12 points of the third quarter and never looked back.

    Anderson coach Glen Drury had a simple message at halftime.

  • Lady Bearcat fans called ‘hooligans’

    The Lady Panthers may have been out-scored and out-sized in the 8th Region tournament, but the girls and their Carroll County fans outclassed Anderson County, hands down.

    High school sports should bring out the best in competition and good sportsmanship; occasionally it does just the opposite. That was the case Monday night when CCHS played Anderson County at South Oldham High School.

    A group of about a dozen Anderson County roughnecks sitting on the Carroll County side of the gym harangued and harassed the Lady Panthers the entire game.
