  • FOOTBALL PREVIEW: Bearcats looking to bounce back with playoff berth

    Mark Peach knew what his post-game speech would be as soon as Ryan Timmons turned the corner Friday night.

    Timmons had snatched a monumental victory from the Bearcats on the last play of the game. Peach was determined it would not be a monumental defeat for his team.
    “We can’t let this one turn into two losses,” Peach told his team Friday.

    The Lady Bearcats, raced to midfield to receive their trophy and rejoiced like a team that knew it was better than its pedestrian 9-10-3 record.

  • COLUMN: Timmons a real Franklin Flyer

    All you could do was tip your hat to Ryan Timmons.
    By now, everybody who knows that a touchdown is worth six points knows who Timmons is. Even people who wouldn’t know a football is filled with air know about the guy who really is a Franklin County Flyer.
    He really is that fast.
    Ask every major college football coach in the country. Timmons will have more than enough places willing to give him a free education in exchange for making other teams look at the back of his uniform on a more than regular basis.

    FRANKFORT – Anderson County had done everything it could.
    For 47 minutes and 46 seconds, the Bearcats went toe-to-toe with unbeaten Franklin County. The Bearcats ran 84 offensive plays. They gained 618 yards. They even held the football for nearly 36 minutes.
