The Anderson County girls' basketball team continued its stellar play with a 47-34 win at Mercer County last Tuesday night.

While the perception is that Anderson is dominated by young players, it was the upperclassmen – senior Kara Yeaste, junior Caroline McDowell and sophomore Sydney Brown – that led Anderson to one of its most impressive wins of the season. The trio score all of Anderson's first half points as the Lady Bearcats went on a 13-5 spree in the second quarter to take control.

The Lady Cats led 22-15 at the break.

A daughter's desire to show what she called “the pretty horses” was all it took to send John Allen Dadisman on his way to becoming one of Kentucky's most respected people in the walking horse industry.

Friday, Dadisman's journey was honored as he was inducted into the Kentukcy Walking Horse Association's Hall of Fame at the Embassy Suites hotel in Lexington. Dadisman's wife, Gayle, and children, Dana Holt and Doug Dadisman, accepted the award. John Dadisman died five years ago.

Let me introduce you to two people:

The first is a 15-year-old freshman in high school. She’s a cheerleader, and a little boy-crazy. She’s insecure, as most freshmen are, and she tries desperately to keep up with the latest trends, fashions, hairdos and hair-don’ts. She listens to pop music and can tell you anything and everything you could possibly want to know about Top 40 artists.
