  • COLUMN: Peach got rid of stinkin' thinkin', got team thinking big

     

    Looking back, that first photo shoot I had with a team coached by Mark Peach might have been one of the worst in the history of journalism.

    Seeing that Peach has always been one of those guys who would point out that the sun often shines in the eye of a hurricane, I asked Peach to gather the seniors on his first team. They all gathered around a table, each holding a book from my library. Peach, of course, was the instructor.

  • STATE FINALS!

    “We are going for a state championship. Anything else will be a disappointment.”

    –Anderson County quarterback Seth Carmichael, during the summer of 2011.

    Anderson to host district, girls' regional

    If Anderson County's girls' basketball team is able to take its second regional championship in three years, the Lady Bearcats will be able to do so without leaving the county in March.

    Five, as in regional championship No. 5.

    It is a goal for a team that went just 8-17 last year, the first single-digit win total for Drury at Anderson.

    And it just might be realistic.

  • GIRLS' EIGHTH REGION PREVIEW: Big Two could be Big Five

    Is it the Big 2? The Big 3? Or is it the Big 4? Could it even be the Big 5?

    No, the question is not about the latest in college football realignments. The question has everything to do with just how top-heavy the race for the girls' Eighth Region championship will actually become.

    But no matter how many teams eventually emerge as threats to make the trip to Bowling Green in March, the two constants are Anderson County and South Oldham, the same two teams that have been ranked at the top of the region the last two years.
