This is not the South Oldham football team you are used to seeing.

These Dragons, who will try to spoil Anderson County's home opener, really are capable of breathing some football fire.

Anderson hosts South Oldham, a team it has played – and beaten – off and on for 20 years, Friday night at Hollie Warford Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.

Anderson County’s girls knew things might be tough on the soccer field this year. Just how tough has been magnified in the early part of the season.

Spencer County erupted for three goals over a 15-minute span in the second half to defeat the host lady Bearcats, 4-3, in girls' soccer action last Wednesday night.

Saturday, the Lady Bearcats fell to Russell High, 1-0, to fall to 0-3-1 on the year.

Sometimes the first weekend of the football season is as exhilarating as an 80-yard bomb, as deceptive as a blowout win or as jolting as an Andrew Jackson hit in the backfield.

For local fans, it could have been a mixture of the three.

Exhilarating.

That had to be the feeling around Anderson County football after a 50-21 win at George Rogers Clark Friday night. The Bearcats were far from perfect, to be sure, but they did a lot of things right in beating a decent opponent Friday night.
