  • Lady Bearcat volleyball splits...

    The Anderson County High School volleyball team hit a bump in the road at West Jessamine before rebouning for a win at Western Hills.

    According to a news release, the junior varsity started out strong with a win against West Jessamine in Tuesday's first match 21-14, but fell to pressure and struggled to regain their communication efforts on the court. West Jessamine rebounded with a 21-18 win in the second match and came out strong in the third match winning 21-17.

  • OUTDOORS: Fall brings many...

    Another great Kentucky fall is upon us. The fall season brings with it a plethora (pretty sure that’s the first time I’ve ever typed that word and I am grateful for the automatic spell check on my laptop) of outdoor opportunities for outdoorsmen. 

    Squirrel season opened a few weeks back to several nice cool mornings and the first segment of the early season continues right up to the opening of deer gun season.

  • GOLF: Tough week for Bearcat...

    When expectations are high, results are scrutinized differently.

    Such is the case with Anderson County boys' golf.

    Last week, the Bearcats split a pair of 9-hole matches and placed fifth in the Tates Creek Invitational Tournament, yet the week was almost a disappointment to Coach Jim Beward.

    At best, there were mixed feelings about the finishes.

  • FOOTBALL: Clark not a typical 1-...

    George Rogers Clark might not be your average team coming off a 1-10 season.

    Anderson County takes on the Cardinals Friday in Winchester in the Bearcats' season opener, but despite Clark's showing a year ago, it should be a stern test for a team with designs on big things in the post-season.

    “Clark County is very much improved,” Anderson coach Mark Peach said after seeing the Cardinals Saturday night. “We have our work cut out for us.”

    MAYSVILLE -- It appeared for a moment that Anderson County's scrimmage at Mason County on Friday night had turned into a repeat of the Bearcats' scrimmage with Danville.

  • COLUMN: It's football time...

    One of life's simple pleasures had to be listening to John Ward let his listeners know the Tennessee Volunteers were about to kick it off.

    “It's football time in Tennessee!” became the wonderful trademark of the man Vol fans revered in the same manner that Kentucky fans idolized Cawood Ledford.

    Since there is no local radio coverage, I guess what I can type will have to suffice.

    “It's football time in Anderson County!”

    (I hope both of the Tennessee fans in Anderson County accept my apologies!)

  • COLUMN: Changing sports for the...

    It is said that everything can improve. Everything.

    So with that in mind, I recently had a little too much time on my hands, so I jotted down – OK, I actually used my thumbs to type them into my iPhone – five things I wish I could change about sports.

    Some of these will never happen but if I ever get a magic wand that could change things with one wave, these would be the end result.


    1. Wild cards would end in pro sports.

  • SAMPLER: Bearcat golf drops...

    Lexington Sayre stunned previously unbeaten Anderson County, taking a 153-156 win over the Bearcats in a boys' golf match held Tuesday at Tates Creek Golf Course in Lexington.

    Anderson turned in what was easily its weakest performance of the year and suffered its first loss in a dual match this season.

    “I was not happy with our performance,” Anderson coach Jim Beward said. “Four guys at 40 or above against any opponent is a recipe for defeat.”

  • VOLLEYBALL: Anderson sophomore...

    The diagnosis was harder and more sudden than anything any opponent will ever hit at Katy Carmichael during her volleyball career.

    Diabetes.

    “It is a life-changing disease,” says the Anderson County High School sophomore who is expected to be one of the mainstays of the Lady Bearcats' front line this year.

    Life-changing and, during the time immediately after doctors at the University of Kentucky broke the news to Carmichael and her family, very scary.

    Extremely scary.

  • FOOTBALL PREVIEW: Riding to a...

    It's been an incredible ride over the last seven years of Anderson County football.

    Actually it's been a work in progress since that December day Mark Peach was introduced as coach of the Anderson County Bearcats. On Thursday, Peach spoke at a press conference that was attended by only one member of the media, the local newspaper.

    The following Monday, Peach was driving his new charges in conditioning drills through the halls of Anderson County High School. It was just the start.
