    It is a typical Kentucky February as I write this month’s column. It is actually sunny and 60 degrees, windy and feels more like early April with spring turkey season coming on. I just spent the last hour or so checking game cameras and walking some fence rows in search of antler sheds. The weather feels great today but by “typical Kentucky February” I mean things will change weather wise.

  • GIRLS' BASKETBALL: Never a...

    SHELBYVILLE – There was never any doubt that the Anderson County Lady Bearcats would win their fifth consecutive 30th District championship Friday night.

    Anderson never trailed in a 47-34 win over tourney host Collins, a convincing win over a team Anderson had routed by a combined 59 points that was expected.

    The manner in which the second-ranked Lady Bearcats went about their business was not.

    Layups rolled off the rim. Normally easy shots rattled around the basket before popping out. The Lady Bearcats hit only 4-of-11 free throws.

  • COLUMN: Bearcat Den a true Sixth...

    They claim to be loud. And rowdy.

    But in the spirit of journalistic accuracy we have to dispute that.

    The Anderson County student section is LOUD. And ROWDY.

    And in a season that has seen the Bearcat basketball teams go a combined 51-5 and counting, they've been a bit of a sixth man.

    “Best student section in the state,” is how they want to be known.

    SHELBYVILLE – It is said that you can't beat Mother Nature. At least you can't beat her twice. Especially in her house and on her own terms.

    Anderson County learned that hard lesson Friday night when Collins, defending its home court, ripped the Bearcats 63-51 in the 30th District basketball tournament championship game, avenging Anderson’s 55-43 win back on Jan. 4.

    It was a repeat of a year ago, when Collins avenged Anderson's regular-season win with a district title.
