  • COLUMN: They've got the...

    Just how long Jacob Russell, Grant Cox, Josh Peach and company have been playing football for Anderson County might depend on your perspective.

    If you are a Bearcat fan, it probably does not seem all that long ago since Russell threw that first varsity touchdown pass back on Sept. 15, 2006. In some ways, it was a throw lost in history. After all, Anderson was on the road and hopelessly behind Harrison County that night.

  • Oldham collars Bearcats, wins...

    BUCKNER – Oldham County stifled the powerful Anderson County offense for a half, then held on in the closing seconds to defeat Anderson County 10-7 Friday night.

    Oldham handed the Bearcats their first loss of the season, but most importantly, won the Class 5A, District 4 championship.

    Oldham County's Jake Weigel nailed a 23-yard field goal with 3:06 to play to decide the outcome.

  • Stingy Oldham County shuts down...

    BUCKNER – Oldham County should really consider changing its mascot.

    Nothing wrong with that genteel Southern Colonel that bears a bit of resemblance to Col. Sanders, mind you. But these guys are more like Col. Patton. Or Col. Schwarzkopf. Or any other military hero on his way to general.

  • No fancy passing in regional...

    SHELBYVILLE – When tournament time rolls around, volleyball is just like any other sport.

    Then the stakes are the greatest, it is the smallest aspects of the game that make the difference.

    Such was the case Wednesday night when Oldham County ended Anderson County's season with a 25-10, 25-17 decision in the semi-finals of the Eighth Region Tournament at Shelby County High School.

    Oldham went on to upset North Oldham in the championship game to advance to this week's state tournament, being held at Regents Hall at Northern Kentucky University.

  • District championship on line...

    Friday night. 7:30 p.m. at Oldham County High School.

    And while some would argue it is not the biggest football showdown in Kentucky this week, there is probably no game in the Bluegrass this week that will have more ramifications for the regular season and upcoming playoffs than this one.
