  • 'Biggest win'

    VERSAILLES – Anderson County was finally at full strength Saturday.

    The results of the Woodford County Invitational track meet clearly showed what that means.

    After nearly a month of trips, spring break, injuries, a prom and just about anything else imaginable keeping the Bearcats from having everyone at a meet, they responded Saturday with a performance that fourth-year coach Travis Gay called “the biggest win since we have been here.”

  • Lady Bearcats show they plan to...

    SHELBYVILLE – With a month to go in the regular season, there is little doubt about which softball team is at the top of the Eighth Region.

    At least Anderson County is at the top of what is generally considered the region’s toughest district.

    The Lady Cats, already ranked 14th in the state and the defending regional champion, established that it is planning on making a return trip to Owensboro with a 6-0 win on a chilly night at Shelby County last Wednesday.

  • COLUMN: Nothing little about it

    About the only thing Little about the Anderson County League is the field where baseball is being played this summer.

    The infield is about 2/3 the size of a major league field and the outfield proportionately less in keeping with the idea that the next Jay Bruce or Ryan Howard is just beginning to learn how to use formulas to figure his batting average.

    The fence is about 200 feet from home plate and the heat rarely comes to the plate in excess of 50 miles per hour.

    But it’s still baseball.
