  • NB’s late rally comes up short against Fern Creek

     LOUISVILLE – It was just three weeks earlier that North Bullitt hung a 21-point defeat on visiting Fern Creek, but it might as well have been three years ago when the teams met again on Tuesday in the opening round of the 46th annual Republic Bank/Coca-Cola Girls’ Louisville Invitational Tournament at Bellarmine University.

  • BE girls split two in mid-season ‘scrimmages’

     LOUISVILLE – Can high school basketball teams play ‘scrimmages’ in the middle of the season?

    Technically the answer is no, at least not in Kentucky. But, after not playing a game for 21 days, the Bullitt East Lady Chargers treated two games last weekend in the Raatz Fence/O’Shea’s Basketball Classic at Mercy Academy pretty much as glorified scrimmages as the red and gold worked to get back into game shape.
