    Greg Boblitt still remembers, and uses, some of the things Glen Drury taught him as when he was playing basketball for old Western High School.

    “Man, that was a long time ago,” says Boblitt, now a deputy in the Anderson County Sheriff’s office. “Just be responsible for what you do. Look people in the eye when you talk to them. Work hard and never quit.”

  • Collins turns Bearcat errors...

    SHELBYVILLE -- Just when it looked like Anderson County was turning the corner on the 2018 baseball season, the Bearcats’ defense wrecked Monday night.

    Seven errors, as scored by The Anderson News, allowed Collins to score six unearned runs in an 8-6 win over the Bearcats in a 30th District game at the Titans’ home park. Collins improved to 13-10 on the season and 3-2 in district play.

The spring game was originally scheduled for last Friday but rains and wet grounds played havoc with the Bearcats’ schedule. Anderson has until Friday, May 4 to complete spring practice.

  • Anderson tracksters deserve much...

    When you’ve been pushing out sports columns and news stories since Joe Hall was on the end of the Kentucky Wildcats’ bench, you’ve just about seen it all somewhere along the way.

    You even remember when the Cincinnati Reds were relevant and actually won baseball games. (I actually had a string of attending 17 straight games and 27 of 30 in Cincinnati where the Reds won. It’s been a while, obviously.)
