  • Dragons flex muscles over BC; await North next

     CRESTWOOD -- When you are facing a talented team that executes well and is well coached, there is not a lot of room to make mistakes.

    For the first quarter on Friday night, the visiting Bullitt Central Cougars were hanging around. 

    However, by the end of the night, it would be the homesteading South Oldham Dragons who would move on with a 43-13 victory.

    “They are a very good team,” said Cougar head coach The Lawson. “They are the best team in the district.”

  • THE CLASH!: Eagles score early then survive BE rally

      HEBRON ESTATES – Scoring 21 points in the first quarter seemed to be more than enough for the North Bullitt Eagles on Friday in the annual renewal of The Clash against Bullitt East.

    In the end, it turned out to be barely enough for the green and gold as they had to hold off a late Bullitt East rally, the final thrust ending when Daulton Walls intercepted a pass at the 19 yard line with less than a minute remaining in the contest.

    North Bullitt’s 21-15 win did two major things for the Eagles.

  • East’s Taylor makes state golf tourney cut

     BOWLING GREEN – Back-to-back is normally a good thing when you are talking about returning to the Leachman Buick-GMC-Cadillac KHSAA Boys High School State Championship.

    While getting back to the big event was certainly good news for the Bullitt East Chargers, the first time the program had gone back-to-back, the team may have taken the back-to-back mantra a little too far.

  • Eagles regain focus at halftime; beat Nelson

     BARDSTOWN – First-year North Bullitt head coach Adam Billings admitted that his halftime talk on Friday of the team’s game against district rival Nelson County was short on details and long on emotion.

    This was not the first fiery speech that the coach had ever given, but this was a time when the Eagle players took the speech to heart and transferred that emotion to the field in the second half.

  • Dragons breath fire to end Chargers’ win streak

     CRESTWOOD – Things were so bad for the Bullitt East Chargers on Friday that they actually had to start on Thursday.

    It was on the final practice before the game against South Oldham when Charger head coach Darrell Vincent found out that junior quarterback Zack Kessler would not be able to play on Friday. Kessler, who already missed games earlier in the season with a shoulder injury, was still complaining about soreness there and a new inspection raised the concern of a broken bone.
