  • A horrible start sinks BC in district opener

     SHEPHERDSVILLE – One bad inning put the Bullitt Central Cougars behind the eight ball on Thursday and the maroon and gray could not recover as they dropped a key 23rd District game to Moore by a 7-3 score.

    In fact, in the only two games that the Cougars played last week, they were behind early. The only good news was that the team managed to rally on Friday and beat Thomas Nelson 8-3 on the road.

  • Eagles get an extra day to beat Southern

     HEBRON ESTATES – Brian Wise has been in coaching for a number of years.

    And just when you think we’ve seen it all… there is something new.

  • BE track team does training in Florida

     MOUNT WASHINGTON -- It is just his first season as an assistant coach with the Bullitt East track program, but assistant coach Michael Whitfill is already adding to the program.

    Over spring break, the Chargers took a group of 12 athletes south for some extra training. The group went to Destin, Florida and then competed in a meet in Montgomery, Alabama before returning home.

    The spring break trip was something that Whitfill did in his last few seasons coaching at North Bullitt.

  • NB’s Dunnavan signs with Spalding for basketball

     HEBRON ESTATES – His senior season didn’t turn out as he had dreamed, but basketball will continue for North Bullitt senior Travis Dunnavan after he signed last week to play at Spalding University in Louisville.

    Dunnavan’s senior season was cut short by injuries that eventually required major knee surgery. The season hadn’t even started when he first hurt the knee but it was believed at the time to just be a sprain. Dunnavan played in the first game of the season, but then went down hard and sat out the next month.

  • Big tennis winner was the weather

     MOUNT WASHINGTON — The final weeks of the tennis season began after spring break. However, the weather wasn’t always cooperative.

    On March 28, the Lady Chargers went to Highview Park for a single match against Whitefield Academy.

    Jada Rush lost to Whitefield’s Emily Jacobson 6-0, 6-1.

    (Wednesday’s match against Bullitt Central was detailed in the Monday, April 3, issue of The Pioneer News.)

  • Florida cures BE’s softball blues

     MOUNT WASHINGTON – Just before leaving for Florida and spring break, the Bullitt East softball team picked up a huge victory over arch-rival Butler by a 2-1 score.

    That win seemed to snap the Lady Chargers out of some early-season doldrums and coach Ricky Hoffman’s team won its first three games in Florida at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex before dropping a tough 4-3 decision in the final game of the week.

  • North still seeking a winning streak

     HEBRON ESTATES – The start of the 2017 season hasn’t been exactly what first-year North Bullitt softball coach Neal Hornback was hoping for in terms of wins and losses, but the team has shown enough ability that they should be in the thick of things when the regular season district games used for seeding start early next week.

    Coming out of two games on Saturday at the Tates Creek Spring Fling, the Lady Eagles had just one win in the first ten games of the season.

  • BE beats three teams, falls to one team -- twice

     MOUNT WASHINGTON – If it were not for Oakwood High School, a team from Dayton, Ohio, it would have been a great spring break trip to Florida for the Bullitt East Chargers.

    Instead, it was just a pretty good week for the red and gold as the team beat three other squads who were all at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex in Kissimmee, Florida.
