Three Christian Academy of Lawrenceburg basketball players have been named to the Kentucky Christian Schools Athletic Association all-star team.

Matthew Robinson, a 6-foot-1 senior guard has played for the Rams since he was in the sixth grade. Robinson served as the Rams’team captain and was selected as a first team KCSAA all-star. This is the third time he has been selected to the all-star team.

Anderson County High School student Brooke Tindall recently signed a national letter-of-intent with the Midway College archery team in a ceremony at the school. Those in attendance were, front row, from left: John Tindall (Father), Brooke Tindall, Shelly Tindall (mother) and John Tindall (brother). Back row: Anderson County assistant coach Dana Mehs, Midway coach Cliff Tompkins, Anderson County head coach Dave Frederick and Anderson County assistant athletic director Jeremy Cook.

L.W. Barnes looks over the spreadsheet on the computer in front of him and chuckles. “We hit .230 as a team and won 19 games,” Barnes said. “Tell me how a team hits .230 and wins 19 games?”

Of course, that answer lies in keeping the other team from crossing home plate, too. Anderson averaged 4.9 runs per game and gave up 4.6 as the Bearcats went 19-18 against a tough schedule but then won their fourth 30th District championship in five years.

 With four returning players from last year, things should be looking bright for the Anderson County boys’ tennis team in 2013.

However, it is really difficult to know at this point. Early season weather woes have hit the Bearcats harder than a 115-mph serve.

“It has been a hard start to the season because of the weather,” Anderson coach T.J. Spivey said last week. “We have only been able to practice outside on the courts three times before our matches start.”
