    MOUNT STERLING – Granville Hayes had the perfect analysis of Anderson County's 27-8 win at Montgomery County Friday night.

  • FOOTBALL: Old rival awaits on homecoming

    Anderson County vs. Woodford County.

    Or as they call it east of the Kentucky River, Woodford County vs. Anderson County.

    For years, there was little that could get the juices flowing than when the Bearcats and Yellow Jackets – or should that be Yellow Jackets and Bearcats – hooked up any time, any sport.

  • COLUMN: Taking one for the team

    Those 1972 Anderson County football players must have stayed out in the sun too long on too many days.

    Or maybe they'd run into a few too many trees – a la George of the Jungle – when they were swinging near Rice Crossing.
