  • TRACK AND FIELD: Two qualify for...

    LEXINGTON – Anderson County was reminded again just how difficult it is to be able to qualify for the state track and field meet last Friday.

    Despite having six performers turn in personal bests in seven different events, only two Bearcats were able to advance out of the Class AAA, Region 6 meet.

    And long jumper Tiffany Yount and pole vaulter Cameron Robinson had to sweat it out before confirming that they will be in action at the state, to be held on Saturday at the University of Louisville.

  • TENNIS: Sister act: Wamplers...

    Wampler dropped another backhand just inside the left sideline for a point, her sister, Amanda, quickly turned away from her spot at the net with a huge smile.


    And when Amanda used what looked like some unorthodox shots
    fueled by the grit of a champion to befuddle their opponents, it was Hannah who stepped forward, reached out with her tennis racquet and offered what amounts to the sport’s high-five.


    It was simple. They were having fun.

  • COLUMN: Time to get back to the...

    It's hard to long for the good old days when the “old” is roughly equivalent to the duration of Justin Bieber's career.

    But that's life in these 4G days when things are obsolete just about the time you get used to them.

    And some might think that is how it is with Anderson County's spring dynasty.

    If you have been around Anderson County any time at all, you know that I am talking about that period in late May and early June when Anderson County has been shining in high school baseball and softball.

  • SOFTBALL: Smoking bats lead...

    Anderson County softball was bitten by the Bullitt during the Lady Bearcats' own tournament over the weekend, yet there were some hints that things could be getting better as the post-season arrives next week.

    The Lady Bearcats fell twice to Bullitt Central, first in a 3-2 pool play decision on Friday night, then 2-0 in the tournament championship game on Saturday.

    In between, the Lady Bearcats defeated Eighth Region foe Owen County, 5-3, and an under-rated North Hardin team, 3-2, in other tournament games.

  • BASEBALL: Bearcats impressive in...

    All season long, the Anderson County baseball team has shown the ability to play extremely well and be a threat to beat anyone on the schedule.

    But somehow, the Bearcats seem to follow that one with a clunker.

    Last week, Anderson showed that has not changed as they put together impressive performances against perennial power Elizabethtown and Butler, one of the strongest teams in the Louisville area, but finished the week off with an uninspired performance against North Bullitt, according to Anderson coach L.W. Barnes.
