  • Bearcats rally to beat North Oldham

    Anderson County overcame a 10-point deficit in the final three minutes to defeat visiting North Oldham 69-67 Tuesday night.

    The teams were ranked at the top of the Eighth Region entering the contest.

    North Oldham led 61-51 with three minutes remaining and was still in front 66-60 when Mustang star Tyler St. Julien went over Jacob Russell’s back for his fifth foul.

    Russell sank both ends of the double-bonus, then on the ensuing possession, came up with a steal and fed C.J. Penny for a layup.

  • Lewis sees big opportunities for local Little League

    If Bart Lewis could only make things look as easy as Davey Concepcion.

    During the days of Cincinnati’s Big Red Machine pulverizing Major League Baseball, Concepcion was so effortless at shortstop that some think that his contributions might have been overlooked.

    “I wore number 13 and my son, Dalton, wears number 13. He has heard all about Dave Concepcion,” Lewis says with a big smile.

    But leading change in the Anderson County Little League will not be as easy as going in the hole and throwing a one-hopper to first base.

  • Get with the program or get out of the way

    We drink potentially contaminated water during boil water advisories.

    We’re at the mercy of a handful of tornado sirens to warn us when a twister is on its way.

    Rail cars loaded with God-knows-what rumble each day through the heart of our city mere yards from schools and homes, not to mention police and fire departments.

    The common thread with each of these risks is that when or if they occur, our city and county governments have no effective means with which to warn us.

    Isn’t that special?

  • Post-season preview?

    It was not clear what kind of words Anderson County and North Oldham exchanged in the customary post-game congratulatory line, but “See you in March” would have been appropriate.

    Thirty-two minutes of bumping, banging, bruising and, in one instance, breaking each other came down to the oldest truism of basketball as Anderson hit its free throws down the stretch, North Oldham did not.

    Final score: Anderson 69, North Oldham 67.
