  • STATE TRACK: Eight not enough...

    LOUISVILLE – Sunday's papers had no headlines about Anderson County's performance in the Class 3A state track meet Saturday.

    Few outside Lawrenceburg would see much news worthiness in a girls' team being shut out in the point standings and a boys' team finish with eight points in the event, held at the University of Louisville.

  • Missed opportunities cost...

    Anderson County needed perfection, but the Bearcats only got near that mark Tuesday night.

    Collins ended Anderson's season when Dan Sanders ripped a two-out single, scoring Mason Jeffries in the bottom of the ninth inning, giving the Titans a 1-0 win in the 30th District semi-finals at Shelby County.

    Jeffries, who had reached on a fielder's choice, easily scored the game-winner when Sanders' hit fell in.

  • COLUMN: Track coach redefining...

    Success is often a matter of perspective.

    Such is the case with the track program at Anderson County High School. When the points were tallied at the state Class 3A meet Saturday, the girls team had been shut out and the boys' team had finished 22nd with only eight points.

  • Keeping her commitment every...

    Anna-Marie Hyatt won't be mentioned in any of the Miss Softball discussions. There might be a few post-season honors over the next few weeks, but the hullabaloo about them will probably be limited to a note in this newspaper or posts on Facebook.

    Even though golf is going to help pay for her college education, she never made that state tournament in that sport, missing by one stroke last fall. There have been ups and downs along the way, but one thing has remained constant.

  • SOFTBALL: Anderson girls drub...

    The only question about the 30th District softball opener Monday night was just how dominant Mia Aldridge really was.

    The freshman pitcher overpowered Spencer County in the Lady Bearcats' 9-0 rout. Aldridge allowed just two base runners and struck out seven to led Anderson to Tuesday's district championship game. Aldridge improved to 12-1 on the year.

    Anderson was to have played Collins, a 16-9 winner over Shelby County in the other semi-final, after press time.

  • SOFTBALL: Aldridge's gritty...

    The difference between winning and losing on the softball diamond is often the little things. Never was it more apparent than Louisville Butler's 2-1 win over host Anderson County last Wednesday.

    The Bearettes scored the winning run when catcher Larissa Book dropped a weak flare just out of the reach of two Anderson defenders with two out in the top of the seventh. Danielle Teague, running for Courtney Rose, trotted home with the game winner.

  • BASEBALL: Bearcats upset...

    The sting of a trying season might last a while for Anderson County baseball bu the Bearcats showed over the final week of the season they still had some punch left.

    The Bearcats upset defending state champion Woodford County Saturday at Chandler Field in Versailles. Senior Zach Mason got the win with perhaps the strongest pitching performance of his career. Mason threw five innings, giving up four hits and three walks while surrendering only one earne run.

    Woodford was ranked eighth in the state in the final regular-season poll.

  • SOFTBALL: Lady Bearcats slam...

    Anderson County sent 15 batters to the plate, scoring 12 times, in the first inning then coasted to a 12-0 win over visiting Owen County in the regular-season softball finale Friday night.

    The game was called in the middle of the fourth inning due to the “mercy rule.”

    Kaci Currens highlighted the inning with a grand slam that hit off the top of the scoreboard beyond left field fence. Currens' blast ended the scoring and she was credited with six RBI on the night. Currens delivered a two-run double her first time up.
