The Anderson County High School boys’ golf team entered the final week of the regular season with an 8-3 record with hopes of a strong showing at the Region 4 Tournament, scheduled for next Tuesday at the Danville Country Club.

“We finished third in our division and fourth overall in the regular season in our conference,” Anderson coach Dylan Hancock said.

Bearcat junior Colby Martin took third place in the Central Kentucky Golf Conference Tournament, firing a 77 over 18 holes and earning a spot on the all-conference team.

Anderson County just needed a win. Lady Bearcat volleyball needed a win in the worst way and getting one against a district rival with a stellar record made things that much sweeter.

Anderson defeated Spencer County in straight sets last Tuesday, putting the Lady Bearcats right back in the 30th District seeding race and restoring some confidence that had been eroding in a stretch of losing five of the previous six matches.

Mark Peach wasn’t about to dampen the spirits of his Anderson County football team Friday night.

Not on a night when the skies were threatening to dampen everything around Louisville.

And especially not when the Bearcats had dismantled Valley to go 4-0 for the first time since 2009. That doesn’t seem that long ago, but when you remember that the current Bearcats were in the first, second and third grades the last time Anderson was still perfect four games in, it really is significant.

The Anderson County High School volleyball team experienced a tough week, dropping five of six matches. The Lady Bearcats now look to regroup and push for the post-season tournaments less than a month away.

“With 20 games over the next three weeks, we are looking to find our rhythm as we push closer to the district tournament,” Anderson coach Ryan Brown said. “With not much time to practice, due to a full game schedule, we are using these games to find our identity as a team.”
