  • Bearcat sacrifices burn Lions

    LANCASTER – Sacrifice is a concept often discussed yet rarely practiced.

    And it is often the single trait that separates the great from the good.

    “That is why I love football so much,” Anderson County coach Mark Peach said moments after his team had routed Garrard County 47-10 in the Garrard Hall of Fame Classic on Friday night. “You have to have so many individual sacrifices for the good of the team. Tonight, we had so many kids make the sacrifice for the team.”

  • EARLIER: The Jake of all trades and master of winning

    Contrary to popular opinion, there are some things Jacob Russell does not do well.

    Take singing for instance. When asked about his musical prowess, the Anderson County senior broke into a sheepish grin, laughed, and said, “Not really.”

    “Oh yeah, he can sing,” says Russell's teammate and good friend, Grant Cox. “He's pretty good. Believe it or not, he likes pop. He likes Katy Perry and Chris Brown.”

    Rap?

    Cox, a rap aficionado, concedes, “He can't rap.”

  • Boys' Soccer: Shelby outlasts Anderson

    The Anderson County boys' soccer team played well but fell to a strong Shelby County team 2-0 on Thursday night at the Anderson field.

    Shelby got a goal in the 33rd minute on a rebound, then scored on a header with nine minutes to play.

    Anderson goalie Brian Fleck had many good saves as Shelby pounded early. Anderson got many more looks in the second half, but Martin Frontsvog's direct kick hit the cross bar and Shelby's keeper thwarted two more chances with stellar saves.

  • COLUMN: Blame state government for school tax increase

    Column as I see ’em ...

    At first blush it was easy to be outraged at the very idea that the school board is considering for a 5.25 percent increase to the tax rate.

    In times like these? When unemployment stands at 10 percent locally and people are being foreclosed on at a record rate?

  • COLUMN: Vick deserves a second chance

    As humans, we had our shot at being perfect, but Adam and Eve blew that in the garden, and we’ve all been making mistakes ever since.

    Michael Vick is no exception. Vick, who bankrolled a dog-fighting operation, made several big mistakes, and for those mistakes he was punished through our country’s court system and through the National Football League, by which he was employed.

    His complete reinstatement is still pending, even though the Philadelphia Eagles signed him last week. (Should he be reinstated, he will play for the Eagles.)
