Anderson County High School girls’ basketball player Sydney Brown has made a verbal commitment to play for Jacksonville State of the Ohio Valley Conference.

The first of two seasons created especially for hunters who want to take deer with muzzleloading firearms is coming up.

Kentucky’s early muzzleloader deer season, which debuted in 1990, will be held this year on the weekend of Oct. 15-16. In the past decade, the muzzleloader deer harvest has averaged 16,272 deer a year. A high of 19,918 was taken during the 2004-05 season, and a low of 13,179 bagged last season. 

Anderson County simply prepared for a football game.
