    The news out of the Kentucky High School Athletic Association last week did not make many headlines, but it should have.

    In case you missed it – and unless you are a true high school sports junkie, chances are you did – the KHSAA has changed its interpretation of Bylaw 25, which defines what a coach can and cannot do in the offseason for a particular sport.

    Anderson County boys’ soccer is alive and well.
    At least the Bearcats showed signs that they can overcome some key graduation losses with a pair of hard-fought wins in the first week of the season.

    In a volleyball match that saw 131 points scored, it all came down to less than when Woodford County outlasted Anderson County Tuesday night.

    “In that third game, if just one or two of those points go the other way, we win the match,” sighed Anderson coach Dale Adkins.
