  • Cougars call it an early night in romp

    LOUISVILLE - The Bullitt Central Cougars tried and tried and tried some more on Friday night, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t win by less than 64-6 against woefully outmatched Atherton.

    The Cougars moved to 4-0 and face another winless team, Waggener, this Friday in another trip into Jefferson County.
