  • Defense leads Lady Cats to finals

    SHELBYVILLE -- It was fitting that turnovers resulting in Anderson County points formed the parentheses around the second half of the semi-final game of the Lady Rocket Invitational.

    Kara Yeaste swished a short jump shot after the Lady Bearcats forced Oldham County into a 5-second violation on the throw-in to start the second half and Makenzie Stoner’s steal and lay-up with two seconds remaining punctuated Anderson’s 47-37 win Monday night.

  • Third-quarter spurt lifts Cats...

    WARSAW – C.J. Penny and Jacob Russell made sure there was no repeat of last March.

    Penny scored 27 points and grabbed 16 rebounds while Russell had a triple-double with 16 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists to lead Anderson to a bit of revenge on the team that eliminated the Bearcats from the Eighth Region Tournament last year.

  • Acing an early test

    LOUISVILLE – If Anderson County students aced their classroom tests like the Lady Bearcats took care of their exams last week, they would all qualify for full scholarships at Ivy League schools.

    Friday, Anderson was in a totally different league from Ballard, routing the hosts 71-43 in a contest that had all the trappings of a barn-burner.

  • Almost Perfect

    The idea of sending a junior varsity team into action against another program’s varsity is not unheard of at the high school level but chances are that few JV teams have ever had a day like the Anderson County High School dance team had recently at Oldham County.

    “It was the first of the year, and we wanted to see where we would stand,” Anderson captain Casey Harlan says with a huge grin.

  • No tackling allowed, but...

    With less than 30 seconds remaining in Anderson County’s 65-50 season-opening win over Garrard County on Monday night, Bearcat coach Glen Drury’s admonition to reserve guard Ben Walker might have summed up Anderson’s sporadic performance.

    “Ben, you can’t tackle ’em out here,” Drury quipped after Walker was called for an offensive foul under his basket.

    Drury drew chuckles from those seated near the Anderson bench and a huge smile from Walker, who is one of at least five Bearcats who had been playing football up until Nov. 21.
