  • You just can’t forget the night the goal posts came down

    I was there the night the goal posts came down.

    We’re not talking that night when Tim Couch hit Craig Yeast to lift Kentucky past Alabama in overtime, although I was in what was then Commonwealth Stadium that night too.

    What I am talking about happened a week or two later in Dry Ridge, Ky. And if you were an Anderson County football fan who made that trip 21 years ago, you will never forget it.

    You can’t.

  • Inaugural Glen Drury Classic Nov. 10

    When Glen Drury stepped down as basketball coach at Anderson County High School last spring, he left more than a legacy of 537 wins.

    He left more than seven district championships and two Eighth Region crowns.

  • Spencer makes most of opportunities, downs Bearcats

    TAYLORSVILLE -- Missed opportunities cost Anderson County dearly last Tuesday night as the Bearcats dropped a 3-1 decision at Spencer County in a boys’ 30th District soccer match in Taylorsville.

    “In life or in a soccer game, when you are given an opportunity, you have to make the most of it,” Anderson coach Jeff Pritchett.

    Spencer made the most of its opportunities to get a key district win. The Bears scored 38 seconds into the contest, then put the game way in the second half, capitalizing on a couple of Anderson mistakes.

  • Lady Bearcats hope seventh-place finish prepares for Eighth Region run

    Playing good competition during the regular season pays off when the postseason comes around. At least Anderson County is hoping for that result.

    The Lady Bearcats placed seventh out of eight teams in the rugged Spine Center Showcase, hosted by Boyle County, last week, but it was a time for growth, according to Coach Jason Earnest.

    His team rallied to defeat North Laurel, 5-2, in the seventh-place game Saturday morning. Junior Anna Foley scored four goals and delivered an assist as the Lady Bearcats erupted for four goals in the final half.

  • Collins downs Volley Cats

    Anderson County’s district momentum could not carry the Lady Bearcats in last Wednesday’s match against visiting Collins.

    A week earlier, Anderson might have gotten its most impressive victory of the season in dispatching 30th District foe Spencer County in straight sets. However, any uptick the Lady Bearcats earned that night was not enough last Wednesday as Collins defeated Anderson, 3-1, to take command of the district seeding race.

  • Fire flattens barn, destroys hay

    When his hay barn on Rice Road burned to the ground in 2008, Michael Webster bought hay to feed his cattle.

    He won’t do the same this time.

    Webster lost between 500 and 600 round bales when his barn caught fire sometime early Monday morning. By the time one of his workers arrived to the barn later that morning, it had been reduced a twisted pile of sheet metal roofing and hundreds of smoldering bales of hay.
