  • BE pulls away late Wednesday;...

        OKOLONA - Pulling away in the second half, the Bullitt East Chargers beat the Southern Trojans 53-44 on Wednesday in the semi-finals of the Boys’ 24th District Tournament at Southern High School.

  • When the lights are out: 6th...

    LOUISVILLE - Could the only thing that stops a Bullitt East Lady Charger march to the Sweet 16 be an electrical outage?

    Time will only tell. However, the team's semifinal game in the Sixth Region basketball tournament was not played on Thursday.

    Due to an electrical outage at Bellarmine University, which stopped the first game with less than four minutes remaining, Bullitt East Lady Chargers will take the floor tonight at 6 p.m.

    The suspended game will be completed at 5 p.m. and then Bullitt East will face Holy Cross.

  • It has been a good season for BE...

    That is a good winter of work. However, Stallings is starting to get recognized for his career body of work.
