  • COLUMN: No home field advantage...

    You have heard of the home field advantage, but what about the home field non-advantage?

    That is the case for several Anderson County High School sports teams right now. If you want to put the most positive spin on things, it's not good.

    Truthfully, it is an embarrassment to the programs, the school and Anderson County.

    If you have been following Bearcat baseball this spring, you know that as of April 16, Anderson has not had a home baseball game yet. That is over a month since the start of the 2013 season.

  • SOFTBALL: Powerful win but not...

    SHELBYVILLE – There were plenty of reasons for Anderson County to be happy Monday night, but the Lady Bearcats' 30th District win over Collins was far from perfect.

    To be sure, Anderson flexed its muscles quickly with a five-run uprising in the top of the first. The Lady Bearcats added another in the second but instead of coasting to a rout, Anderson had to work for the win.

  • Anderson track leaps into new...

     

    Anderson County is looking to make a giant leap during this year's high school track season.

    Literally.

    “We come in and jump,” Anderson coach Robert Meacham says with a grin. “We compete in the jumping events.”

    Indeed. The Bearcats jump long. They jump high. They triple jump and they pole vault. Anderson has at least one, sometimes two, who could be contending for a berth in the state meet or a regional championship next month.

  • BASEBALL: Bearcats take two in...

    Anderson County baseball showed it is far too early to write the Bearcats off in 2013.

    A week after mustering one hit in two games, the Bearcats rolled past Louisville Eastern and Bowling Green to take two of three games in the Bowling Green/Warren County Invitational.

    Anderson did have trouble against Ballard Memorial, mustering just three hits in a 3-1 loss.

  • SOFTBALL: Lady Bearcat softball...

    Anderson County softball continues to be impressive early in the season, despite losing its first game of the year during its annual spring break trek to the beaches of Gulf Shores, Ala.

    The Lady Bearcats split two games, defeating Baldwin County but losing to Spanish Fort, both from Alabama, where teams have been playing since late February.

    Against Baldwin County, Bailey Curry smacked three hits and Madison Brummett drove in three runs in a 9-2 win for the Lady Bearcats last Tuesday.

  • SOFTBALL: Lady Bearcats explode...

    SHELBYVILLE – Good teams will make you pay for extra outs, according to the old diamond truth.

    A Shelby County error prolonged the top of the fourth inning and Anderson County showed why it feels it is becoming a good team Monday night.

    The Lady Bearcats had seven consecutive batters reach base – six of them scored – in the decisive inning on their way to a 7-0 win in a key 30th District matchup at the Shelby County athletic complex.
