  • ONLINE EXTRA: What Anderson...

    Anderson County residents express their opinions on the decision that Anderson County High School football coaches cannot take part in the post-game and post-practice prayers.

     

    “People were disappointed about it. They should be allowed to pray in what they believe in. A lot of people signed a paper that this should be allowed.”

  • VOLLEYBALL: Rally leads Collins...

    So close to taking a huge district win. Anderson County was so closed that the Lady Bearcats could taste it.

    But close to the brink of elimination, Collins rallied to win Game 4, then whipped the Lady Bearcats in the tie-breaker to take a 3-2 (25-16, 22-25, 15-25, 25-20, 15-8) win in a major 30th District showdown.

  • SOCCER: Lady Bearcats dominate...

    Anderson County needed a win. That it was a blowout made things even better.

    The host Lady Bearcats routed 30th District rival Shelby County, 5-0, last Wednesday to get their first win of the season. Most importantly, the Lady Bearcats likely put themselves in position to avoid the fourth, or bottom, seed in the four-team district tournament next month.
