  • Ready to rock at Rupp

    Think you’re excited about the Bearcats’ trip this week to the state basketball tournament?

    ‘Hooligan’ columnist is one with no class

    To the editor:

    Sharon Graves sounds like a sore loser on the Carroll County girls’ fan club in her column last week about Anderson’s “hooligans.”
