  • FOOTBALL: Cox shines under bright lights

    The media contingent that descended on Anderson County Friday night was a bit more than usual, even for a playoff football game.

    The reason, of course, was a chance to see Conner quarterback Drew Barker, who has committed to the University of Kentucky and is considered one of the Top 10 quarterback prospects in the nation.

    Anderson's defense pressured Barker enough that he completed just 6-of-23 passes. However, several on-the-mark passes fell through his receivers' hands.

  • BASKETBALL PREVIEW: Boys' Eighth Region race should be wild affair

    There has to be a better way of figuring out the best boys' basketball team in the Eighth Region this year.

    Maybe a blind draw of picking a name out of a hat would work. Or putting the names of all 18 schools in the region on a wall could help, especially if we are throwing darts.

    Blindfolded.

    There would be a lot fewer headaches and leave more scalps intact than the traditional analyses trying to figure out each team's strengths and witnesses.

    Really. It looks to be that close.

  • BASKETBALL PREVIEW: Red the color in Eighth Region girls again

    Anderson County or Simon Kenton playing for the Eighth Region girls' basketball championship has become about as predictable Taylor Swift writing a song about her latest beau.

    Since a massive statewide realignment, which included Simon Kenton's move to the Eighth Region, took effect in the 2005-2006 season, either Simon Kenton or Anderson County has advanced to the regional final six out of eight years. Simon Kenton has made it at least that far five times, winning the big trophy twice.
