    Buried deep in the published tournament bracket, Anderson County's consolation game with host Fairdale on Monday could have been seen as a mere afterthought to the casual high school basketball fan.

    It was anything but that to the Bearcats, who got a measure of redemption with a 45-38 win over the pre-season favorite to win the Sixth Region and some consideration as one of Kentucky's 15 best teams.

    Anderson led at every quarter stop in what coach Glen Drury called his team's “smartest game we have played.”

    SHELBYVILLE -- It was fitting that turnovers resulting in Anderson County points formed the parentheses around the second half of the semi-final game of the Lady Rocket Invitational.

    Kara Yeaste swished a short jump shot after the Lady Bearcats forced Oldham County into a 5-second violation on the throw-in to start the second half and Makenzie Stoner’s steal and lay-up with two seconds remaining punctuated Anderson’s 47-37 win Monday night.

    LOUISVILLE – If Anderson County students aced their classroom tests like the Lady Bearcats took care of their exams last week, they would all qualify for full scholarships at Ivy League schools.
