    LOUISVILLE – With over 1,100 wins between them, Anderson County’s Glen Drury and his coaching counterpart at Pleasure Ridge Park, Dale Mabrey, knew that the scoreboard was not the most important thing in the opening-week hoops clash.

    For the record, PRP showed why it is knocking on the door of the state’s Top 10 with a 58-44 win. The Panthers built a quick early lead, then held off several Anderson rallies in its season opener. Anderson, in its biggest early-season test in recent memory, fell to 1-1.

    Clinging to a 24-23 lead over Buckhorn at halftime of the Wierwille Classic at Berea College on Saturday, Anderson got a simple message from head coach Glen Drury.

    “He said the game was too slow. We wanted to try to speed the game up,” said assistant coach Bryan Hyatt.

    Using relentless pressure, the Bearcats ran off the first six points of the third quarter on the way to a 53-37 win over what is touted as one of the better teams in the mountains.

    One only had to see the huge smile on Lady Bearcat coach Tony Kays’ face and the another-day-at-the-office demeanor for his team to know the answer.

    Eighth-grader Makenzie Cann swished a 3-pointer that sent the game into overtime then buried four free throws in the final 1:17 of the second overtime to send Anderson to a 52-48 win over visiting Lafayette in the season-opener for both teams.
