  • BE baseball ready to live up to expectations

    MOUNT WASHINGTON - Perhaps not since the early 1990s with the high-powered softball program have expectations been as high for a spring sports team as they are this season for the Bullitt East baseball squad.

    With all but two players returning from a team that posted a program best 27-7 mark last year, a record that included a 14-game winning streak, the Chargers are sitting amongst the state’s elite this season. Already, coaches in Kentucky have ranked Bullitt East 11th in the state to start the season.

  • Lady Chargers will be young, but energized

    MOUNT WASHINGTON - A year of familiarity with each other should pay dividends this spring for the Bullitt East softball program.

    A year ago, head coach Ed Phelps was not hired until a few months before the start of the 2008 season. That made it a learning experience for the coach and his players throughout the season.

    Now, the coach knows his players and the players know what to expect from the coach.

  • New home means new life for Cougar baseball

    SHEPHERDSVILLE - New season. New field. New era. New attitude.

    A new life. That is how the Bullitt Central Cougars are looking at the 2009 season. When the team moves into its new field in two weeks, head coach Tommy Alvey and his squad are ready to begin anew.

    “We’re excited to have a new field,” the coach said just before he starts his third season at the helm. “The kids are positive. It’s something the kids are proud of and can call their own.”

  • Eagle baseball seeking the next step - regional success

    HEBRON ESTATES - For most area baseball teams, getting to the University of Louisville’s Jim Patterson Stadium for a regional tournament game pretty much sits at the top of the ‘goal list’ at the start of each season.

    For the North Bullitt Eagles, it is more a ‘been there and done that’ mindset in terms of that wish list. Of course, the green and gold want to get to that stage, something they did last season. Now, the top goal is to start winning games that go far into the post-season.

  • Lady Eagles ready to attack a tough schedule

    HEBRON ESTATES – Over the previous five seasons in which he has been involved in the North Bullitt softball program, Eric Lambert has seen a lot of different things.

    Mostly he has seen head coaches come and go. As an assistant coach, Lambert has worked under four different head coaches. During one season, in 2006, Lambert was elevated to head coach when John Hammonds stepped down midway through the season.

  • County leases property to earn income until sold

    SHEPHERDSVILLE – Prime commercial real estate purchased by county government three years ago will soon see some building.

    Well, make that, lots of buildings.

    Bullitt Fiscal Court voted 4-1 to allow Jim White to lease the property formerly home to Gobel’s Exotic Entertainment.

    White’s USA Portable Buildings will use the property for a sales lot for portable buildings.

  • Citizens may 'vote' on alcohol issue

    SHEPHERDSVILLE - Alex Ramirez had heard the debates over Sunday liquor sales in the city of Shepherdsville.

    And, even as a new restaurant owner, he understood the concerns of the public and the councilmembers over allowing Sunday alcohol sales in the city.

    But, with his new Cabo Cantina’s Steaks and More now open on Cedar Grove Road at Interstate 65, Ramirez now realizes that the inability to sell alcohol on Sunday dramatically affects his business.

    But councilman Scott Ellis believes he might have a way to get the pulse of the community.

  • Hurst has big shoes to fill in state contest

    SHEPHERDSVILLE - Emily Hurst compared her teaching philosophy to race car driving.

    Hurst compared the two by noting their continuous strive for success, with assistance from a full team, while maneuvering around obstacles and giving their best effort in hopes of winning.

    It was the way classroom obstacles were handled and the support from fellow faculty members that Hurst said helped her achieve the honor of Bullitt County’s 2009 Elementary Teacher of the Year.
