  • Cotton's road to return qualifies as Biggest Winner

    Zach Cotton might have dropped nearly 100 pounds in the past year, but the only TV show he would ever make is “The Biggest Winner.”

    It makes little difference if he wins the heavyweight championship at this week's state wrestling tournament or even medals. Just being there after two years away from the sport puts the Anderson County High School senior among the class of the most successful.

  • Another heartbreaker for Bearcatrs

    It wasn't really a shot.

    There was none of that square-it up, get-your-fingertips-on-the-trademark, keep-your-eye-on-the-target and follow-through stuff on this concoction. There was really no time.

    His team trailing 54-52 and time running out, Shelby County's Eric Schreiner only had time to fling a prayer towards his own basket last Wednesday. Along with several hundred Anderson County and Shelby County faithful, Schreiner watched as the ball grazed the backboard.

    There are many ways for a basketball team to show it is better than the opponent, but a 46-0 run?

    You do not have to call your optometrist. You read that right.

    46-0.

    Forty-six straight points.

    That's what Anderson County, one of the haves in the Eighth Region this year, did to Shelby County, a team that had just won its first game of the season the night before. When it was over, the Lady Bearcats had posted a 61-22 win, their 16th straight against 30th District competition.

    Forty-six straight points.
