  • FOOTBALL: Mercer looks to stop Anderson series string

    Even though Anderson County has won – and won handily – every time the Bearcats have gone up against Mercer County since the once-heated rivalry resumed, Friday's showdown in Harrodsburg could be Anderson's toughest test before embarking on its road through district play.

    Like Anderson, Mercer is 2-1 after slipping past West Jessamine, 31-28, on Friday night. Mercer got a safety and a touchdown inside the final 1:37 to pull out the victory.

  • GIRLS' SOCCER: Despite mounting injuries, Lady Bearcats get two wins

    Somehow, Anderson County is getting the job done in girls' high school soccer.

    Injuries keep mounting for the Lady Bearcats, sidelining two more starters to a team already thin because of a plethora of hurts, but they registered two wins last week to move above .500.

    The Lady Bearcats routed Owen County, 5-2, in a match not nearly as close as the score indicates, and took a 3-2 decision on the road at Madison Central in what might be their most impressive win of the year.

  • OUTDOORS: Hitting the hardest shots in the dove field

    By Lee McClellan

    Ky. Dept. of Fish and Wildlife Resources

    After downing a limit of doves at the opening day dove hunt, you feel confident you'll get another limit this coming weekend.

    After setting up in a favorite spot near a dead tree in the early afternoon, you wait for groups of doves to come into the field. Instead, a swift gray bird comes in from behind at a 45-degree angle. You raise your barrel, swing and fire, not puffing a single feather on the dove that quickly swerves away, out of danger.
