    Western ended last week at 7-6.

  • Mercer tops Lady Cats

    Mercer County showed why many consider the Titans one of the 10 best girls’ basketball teams in Kentucky with a 74-58 win over Anderson County last Tuesday in Harrodsburg.

    Led by freshman Seygan Robins’ 18 points, the Titans established control in the second quarter, when they outpointed the Lady Bearcats 20-12, then held off an Anderson rally to post the win.

    Mercer, which had beaten Anderson just once since 2006, improved to 15-2, while Anderson fell to 9-8.

  • Lady Bearcats rip Spencer,...

    A second-quarter uprising fueled Anderson County to an easy 82-44 win over Spencer County in girls’ basketball action Friday night in Taylorsville.

    After withstanding a Spencer County rally to pull within 15-14 at the end of the first quarter, the Lady Bearcats romped to a 24-9 advantage over the next eight minutes and continued to build the lead.

    Sophomore Sammy Rogers came off the bench to lead Anderson with a career-best 24 points, including a half-court shot that sent the teams to halftime with the Lady Cats up 39-23.

  • Ballard doesn’t follow script,...

    Had the script gone according to plan, someone wearing a white jersey would have launched a shot just before the buzzer. The net would have snapped, giving an Anderson County team that had taken a journey far beyond expectations a win over a Ballard team that had just put together perhaps its best 32 minutes of the season.

    Reality is cold, however.

  • Cats’ rousing rally falls short...

    HARRODSBURG – John Paul Garmon’s shot looked true as it arched toward the basket from the left wing.

    Anderson County’s boys’ basketball team had staged a rousing comeback, nearly erasing a 15-point deficit at Mercer County on Saturday night. Trailing 36-21 early in the third quarter and 67-57 with just 1:37 to play, the Bearcats had seized momentum and trailed 68-63 with 40 seconds left.

    Garmon’s shot dropped into the rim, appearing for a split-second to be going all the way through the hoop before it somehow rattled and popped out.
