  • COLUMN: Time for a real sixth man

    Finally, it looks like people have begun to realize just what has been going on in Anderson County over the last few years.

    Last Thursday, when Anderson hosted Lafayette, the old high school gym was about 75 percent full. Nine days before, when Franklin County came to town, it was the same thing. Back on Feb. 7, when Louisville Mercy visited, it was another night when the filled seats far outnumbered those that were empty.

    It was for girls' basketball. And those crowds were a good thing.

  • WRESTLING: Mat Cats fall short of state medal rounds

    LEXINGTON – The end was bittersweet for the Anderson County High School wrestlers who made it to the state tournament last week.

    Just getting to the extravaganza, held at Alltech Arena on the grounds of the Kentucky Horse Park is quite an accomplishment for the individuals. Four Bearcat grapplers made it to the state but the results were not nearly what they had hoped for.

    Only two Bearcats scored with wins and no Anderson wrestler advanced to the medal round.

  • BASKETBALL: Bearcats race past Greyhounds

    Anderson County recorded its fifth consecutive victory, winning at Paris, 60-47, last Tuesday.

    Anderson dominated from the outset and the game was not as close as the final score might indicate. Anderson was 31-15 at the half and extended that lead to 52-27 early in the fourth quarter.

  • GIRLS' BASKETBALL: Senior Lady Bearcats share one final home win

    To the outsider, it might have seemed like a strange move, but for Anderson County's girls' basketball team, it might have been the most fitting salute any coach could arrange for his team.

    With the Lady Bearcats' 63-54 win over highly-regarded Lafayette clearly in hand and just 13.2 seconds remaining, Kays inserted senior Jessica Rice into the lineup for sophomore Kaci Currens.

  • BASKETBALL: Bearcats rock Franklin, roll into post-season

    Anderson County will know very soon whether or not it will continue to play boys' basketball for at least another week.

    The Bearcats are considered underdogs in their first-round game of the 30th District Tournament against Collins, a slight favorite to take the Eighth Region crown, scheduled for Tuesday night.

    While the Bearcats' tournament life is certainly in question, there were no inquiries about the Bearcats' playing their best basketball of the 2013-14 season at the right time.
