  • Bad luck is the only luck for BC

     SHEPHERDSVILLE – It has been written many times before, but for the 2014 Bullitt Central softball program, it is still true that ‘if it wasn’t for bad luck, there would be no luck at all.”

    That is the way that first-year head coach Mike Phillips is seeing this season unfold. On a trip this past weekend to the Play It Again Classic in Clarksville, Tenn. the team’s two seniors both suffered injuries that severely limited the Lady Cougars’ ability to compete against some strong teams.

  • Charger baseball has perfect Florida vacation

     MOUNT WASHINGTON – The Bullitt East Chargers had such a good time on their spring break trip to Florida that they came home a day early.

    True story.

    Actually, the Chargers did come home a day early. Well, at least some of the group did. That was because that after four straight wins, the team they were supposed to play on Friday at the ESPN Wide World of Sports begged out of playing another game that week, saying that they had some injuries and were short on pitching.

  • Cougars post 2-2 mark over spring break

    SHEPHERDSVILLE – It hasn’t been a great start to the 2014 baseball season for the Bullitt Central Cougars, but staying near home and winning two of four games might be more important than heading to Florida for spring break.

         Unlike most area teams, the Cougars stayed at home for spring break. Instead, head coach G.J. Moore opted to once again play in the General Spring Break Bash as Thomas Nelson High School. The Cougars won the event last year, beating Edmonson County in the final game.

There were a few other options, but none that were as close to home as the school in northern Kentucky, just south of Cincinnati.

  • NB girls bounce back well from an early setback

     HEBRON ESTATES – After dropping a tough decision to county rival Bullitt East to end the previous week, the North Bullitt Lady Eagles bounced back in a big way last week, winning two games to head into a spring break trip to Florida with a lot of confidence.

    The big change for coach Mike Nally’s team was that senior Shelby Crenshaw was given the ball in the circle and she responded with two strong outings. Nally had wanted to keep Crenshaw more at shortstop this season after she split the pitching duties with Elise Mills last year.
