  • TRACK AND FIELD: Davis caps dandy day with Boyle win

    DANVILLE – Travis Davis had already had a good day and he knew things were going to just get better last Friday.

  • BASEBALL ROUNDUP: Bearcats erupt to outslug Nelson

    Anderson County scored 12 times in the top of the sixth inning to defeat Nelson County, 18-11 in a wild one at Bardstown last Thursday.

    “It was a combination of good hitting and bad pitching,” Barnes said of Anderson's uprising.

    Nelson had rallied for eight runs in the bottom of the fifth to take an 11-6 lead. Anderson had pulled starter Darrin Laswell with the bases loaded and clinging to a 6-3 lead in the fifth, but suddenly found itself on the wrong end of the 11-6 count.

  • BASEBALL: Shelby gets walkoff win against Bearcats

    SHELBYVILLE – Another nail-biter. Another walk-off. But this time it was Anderson County leaving the field with the heads down.

    Shelby County's Jakub Noonan ripped a clean single to left field, driving in courtesy runner Tyler Eades to give the Rockets a 2-1 win over Anderson in district play last Tuesday at the Shelby County Athletic Complex.

    With one out, Noonan lined Landon Case's offering just out of the reach of diving left-fielder Josh Brown. Eades, running for catcher Tee Goble, who had laced a one-out double, scored easily.

  • COLUMN: On the court and off, UK basketball stars excel with determination, hard work

    The stage might have been different but Darius Miller's message was the same when he spoke to a group of giddy kids at Turner Elementary School last Thursday.

    For the last two seasons, when the lights got brighter, Miller's shots suddenly got a bit straighter. When the expectations where higher, Darius Miller soared.

    Remember?

    Early in the second half of the national semifinal against Louisville, the Miller's Kentucky Wildcats were clinging to a 37-32 lead after being in front by double digits on several occasions in the first half.
