  • BOYS' BASKETBALL: Shelby showdown highlights Bearcats' week

    Remember the days when the Anderson County-Shelby County basketball game was one of those must-see events?

    It really has been only four years since that night when C.J. Penny buried a 3-pointer at the buzzer to send Anderson, not the arch-rival Rockets, to the Sweet 16.

    For years, those emotion-packed contests were the norm, not the exception but things changed when Shelby was split to form Collins High in the fall of 2010.

    Anderson ran off the first 10 points and never trailed but made things harder than necessary.

    “We were definitely inconsistent,” Anderson coach Glen Drury said. “I had seen that in practice.”

  • COLUMN: Costas is one of the best, but wrong this time

    An interview with Bob Costas is still on my bucket list.

    His insight into the good – and bad – of baseball is amazing. If you don't believe me, try to find a copy of his book, Fair Ball, talking about many of the ills of the game around the turn of the century. When put in that context, and seeing where it has headed since then is nothing short of amazing.

  • The churches are full of sinners, so why not join us?

    Do you attend church regularly? No I do not mean Christmas or Easter, I mean are you a member of a church?
    I have touched on this issue before, but as more than half of Anderson County does not attend church at all, this is directed at those professing Christians who do not.
    Now, there are plenty of “spiritual people” who often say to me “I don’t have to attend church to be a Christian. I can worship God from the comfort of my home.”
