  • TRACK: Busy Yett gets top prize...

    LEXINGTON – Tyson Yett was one busy young man Friday night.

    The Anderson County High School junior would take some time working his craft near one end zone of Robert J. Bell Stadium, then head to the center of the stadium for another job before heading back to his previous work area at the Central Kentucky Conference track meet.

  • SOFTBALL: Rivalry gets ailing...

    There's nothing like a good old-fashioned rivalry to get a softball team out of a little bit of a funk.

    Granted, Anderson County did not blow 30th District foe Shelby County off the field last Thursday, getting just five hits in a 3-0 home field win.

    And to be sure, the Shelby County of 2013, while vastly improved since the first time the teams had met nearly a month before, is not the same Shelby that was locked in a perennial battle with Anderson for Eighth Region supremacy just a few years back.

  • BASEBALL: Bearcats battle...

    NEW CASTLE – This one could have hurt. Badly.

    Clinging to a razor-thin margin that had looked like a sure blowout just two innings before and seeing the tying run ready to charge just 90 feet away and still two outs to go, somehow Anderson County held on.

    When Anderson left hander Brandon Eliadis got Henry County batter Dylan Adams on a called third strike to end the Bearcats' 8-7 win, there were simultaneous sighs of relief and shouts of jubilation.

  • SOFTBALL: Lady Bearcat frosh cap...

    The future appears to be very bright for Anderson County softball after the young Lady Bearcats won a pair of tournaments on the final two weekends of the season to close out the year at 19-1. Anderson played in three tournaments, winning all three.
    Several of the Lady Cat freshmen play key roles on the varsity team as well.

  • TENNIS: Ty vying to be Bearcats...

    It's hard to believe that one of the area's best tennis players traces his love for the sports back to a football coach.

    “The first time I ever got on the court, I was in Mr. (Lucas) Shouse's gym class,” Ty Glover smiles. “He was like, 'Do you want to play some tennis?'

    “I just said, 'Yep!'”

  • TENNIS: All in the family

    There won't be many surprises around Amanda and Hannah Wampler this year.

    The Anderson County doubles tandem caught nearly everyone, including themselves, off guard with their run to the Eighth Region tennis tournament final in 2012, but even though they are noticeably better players in 2013, no one is guaranteeing a repeat or better when the tennis post-season gets underway next week.

    The girls will play their first two rounds at Western Hills High School on Monday, then move to Franklin County the rest of the week.

  • Rain wreaks havoc on regional...

    Rain played havoc with the Eighth Region tennis tournament, being held at Franklin County and Western Hills High Schools this week.

    While the schedule called for the the first and second rounds to be completed on Monday, neither the boys' nor the girls' tournaments completed the first round.

    At Western Hills, Anderson County's Hannah and Amanda Wampler, seeded fourth, won their first match, defeating the Shelby County duo of Gowin and Roley, 6-2, 6-0.
