  • Billings sure Eagles will be better with lessons learned

          HEBRON ESTATES -- When the North Bullitt Eagles took a lopsided loss to Shelby County earlier in the season, head coach Adam Billings saw his team use that experience to improve.

     

          And he expects the same after a tough 39-7 loss on Friday to South Oldham.

     

          The victory gave the visiting Dragons the district title, with North Bullitt finishing as the runner-up. Both will be hosting playoff games on Nov. 7.
