Travis Gay knows how most people perceive track and field.

“I read a survey last year that said that 30 percent of track athletes come out to keep in shape for another sport,” the Anderson County track coach says. “Thirty percent come out because they have been cut from another sport.”

Gay, who played football and basketball at Floyd Central High School near New Albany, Ind., then went on to become an all-conference tackle at Campbellsville University, could only smile at the irony.

The church keyboardists indicted on multiple felonies earlier this year for allegedly obtaining a fake commercial drivers license appear to be on their way to trial.

Lance Roe, 28, and Michael Sivils, 45, were back in Franklin County Circuit Court last Friday for a pre-trail hearing.

Commonwealth’s Attorney Larry Cleveland, who is prosecuting the case, said neither side was able to reach an agreement for the disposition of the case.

LEXINGTON – Elliott County claims it did not pay much attention to the flood of state and national media coverage the Lions have gotten over the course of the basketball season.

Apparently, the Lions did not pay attention to Anderson County’s reputation, either. For years, the word has been that few will out-rebound or out-defend the Bearcats.

Wayne King still remembers the first time he ever saw Glen Drury.

There was nothing to suggest he would someday become a hall-of-fame coach.

“I didn’t even think he would be a good player,” King says with a laugh. “I had just gotten to Anderson County and we were able to open the gym for the returning players for a week or so.

“Glen showed up. He was short and scrawny and didn’t have his hand behind the ball when he shot it. He wasn’t even supposed to be there, because I think he had just finished the eighth grade.”
