  • Holt throws 1-hitter in second...

     FAIRDALE — Fairdale was looking to pick up a game.

    North Bullitt had been rained out twice and needed a game.

    And the two schools are only five miles apart.

    So, lets play ball.

    In its only game before heading to Myrtle Beach for its annual Cal Ripken Experience, the North Bullitt Eagles hooked up with Fairdale.

    For a second straight game, Brendan Holt supplied his team with a one-hit performance en route to a 6-1 North Bullitt victory.

  • Tennis programs gliding into...

     SHEPHERDSVILLE – Action already neared the mid-way point for the tennis teams in Bullitt County.

    Unfortunately, the week got off to a wet start as a match between North Bullitt and Bullitt Central was rained out on Monday.

    In a cross-county match, the Bullitt Central Lady Cougars turned back Bullitt East 4-1 on Wednesday.

    In a battle of state tournament performers from last spring, Bullitt East’s Savannah Kruse got the best of her battle against Rebecca Price. Kruse scored an 8-4 victory.

  • Local softball teams struggling...

     SHEPHERDSVILLE – The first two-plus weeks of the high school softball season have been a struggle for the three Bullitt County programs and that includes Bullitt East, a team that started the season ranked ninth in the coaches’ pre-season poll.

    The Lady Chargers return starting pitcher Taylor Roby and while the junior has been strong, she had gotten little help at the plate and even less help from her defense as the Lady Chargers stand just 3-4 with two games this week before the team heads to Florida for spring break.

  • East baseball stays hot; wins...

      MOUNT WASHINGTON – Nobody expected the Bullitt East Chargers’ baseball team to go undefeated this season and that includes head coach Jeff Bowles.

    Still, after six straight wins to open the season, you do start to dream of winning every game. But that is just not the way it normally works in baseball.

    The dream ended on Friday when the Chargers suffered a 9-8 defeat at the hands of visiting Ballard. The loss came a day after the red and gold had beaten DeSales by the same 9-8 score.

  • BC wins 4th Region archery title...

     HIGHVIEW – It was once again a one-two finish for Bullitt County teams over the weekend at the Region Four Archery Tournament at Moore High School, but this time it was Bullitt Central hoisting the big trophy and Bullitt East the runner-up medals, reversing last year’s finish.

    The competition belonged to the Cougars all along as coach Dustin Metcalf’s team shot to a final score of 3,416 to win by an impressive 82 points over Bullitt East, which finished at 3,334 (3,600 is a perfect score).

  • North learning as wins keep...

     HEBRON ESTATES – The ups and downs of a high school baseball coach.

    Over the course of a 36-game schedule, there can be plenty of highs and just as many lows — especially when dealing with a lot of kids without varsity experience.

    Just ask North Bullitt Eagle skipper Brian Wise. Sometimes it is enough to pull your hair out.

    It was a week where the Eagles played it tight until the end against a pair of perennial Sixth Region contenders.

  • Central goes 2-3 in a long week

     SHEPHERDSVILLE – It was an uneven week of baseball for the Bullitt Central Cougars as coach G.J. Moore’s team won the first two and then dropped the final three including two games in a ‘triangle’ event at Corbin High School on Saturday.

    That action left Bullitt Central with a 3-4 record after the first two weeks of the regular season. On Monday, the Cougars were rained out of game against a visiting team from Chicago, Lake Zurich, that is spending their spring break in the Louisville area playing different teams.

  • North Bullitt girls slip past BC...

     LOUISVILLE — Getting some cooperative weather is also a key to the early weeks of the spring tennis season.

    Week two was certainly more agreeable with local players.

    In the first intercounty girls match, North Bullitt got past Bullitt Central as the final court came down to a tiebreaker.

    In singles, Shanna Blocker defeated Rebecca Price in a three-set battle. The North Bullitt junior scored a 6-4, 6-7, 1-0 win over Price, who advanced to the state tournament last season.
