  • North falls late to Crimsons 6-4

     HEBRON ESTATES – After struggling at the start of the season, the North Bullitt Lady Eagles seem to be slowly putting the pieces together

    First, after dropping the first six games of the season during which they averaged just a little over one run a game, the green and gold picked up a 15-4 victory on a trip over the river to take on Providence High School (In.).

    Then last week, in the only game the team had scheduled, North Bullitt stayed close with a strong Manual squad before giving up two runs in the top of the seventh inning and losing 6-4.

  • Local softball teams struggling to find victories

     SHEPHERDSVILLE – The first two-plus weeks of the high school softball season have been a struggle for the three Bullitt County programs and that includes Bullitt East, a team that started the season ranked ninth in the coaches’ pre-season poll.

    The Lady Chargers return starting pitcher Taylor Roby and while the junior has been strong, she had gotten little help at the plate and even less help from her defense as the Lady Chargers stand just 3-4 with two games this week before the team heads to Florida for spring break.

  • East baseball stays hot; wins three of four in full week

      MOUNT WASHINGTON – Nobody expected the Bullitt East Chargers’ baseball team to go undefeated this season and that includes head coach Jeff Bowles.

    Still, after six straight wins to open the season, you do start to dream of winning every game. But that is just not the way it normally works in baseball.

    The dream ended on Friday when the Chargers suffered a 9-8 defeat at the hands of visiting Ballard. The loss came a day after the red and gold had beaten DeSales by the same 9-8 score.

  • North learning as wins keep coming

     HEBRON ESTATES – The ups and downs of a high school baseball coach.

    Over the course of a 36-game schedule, there can be plenty of highs and just as many lows — especially when dealing with a lot of kids without varsity experience.

    Just ask North Bullitt Eagle skipper Brian Wise. Sometimes it is enough to pull your hair out.

    It was a week where the Eagles played it tight until the end against a pair of perennial Sixth Region contenders.

  • Central goes 2-3 in a long week

     SHEPHERDSVILLE – It was an uneven week of baseball for the Bullitt Central Cougars as coach G.J. Moore’s team won the first two and then dropped the final three including two games in a ‘triangle’ event at Corbin High School on Saturday.

    That action left Bullitt Central with a 3-4 record after the first two weeks of the regular season. On Monday, the Cougars were rained out of game against a visiting team from Chicago, Lake Zurich, that is spending their spring break in the Louisville area playing different teams.
