  • Butler was a tough first foe for...

        HEBRON ESTATES - Big games during the first week of the regular season seldom turn out as expected and even more so end up not having any bearing on what can happen when the post-season rolls around ten weeks later.

        That will hopefully be the case for the North Bullitt Lady Eagles as they opened the 2010 season with a 7-2 loss to Butler. A year ago, the two teams played a 1-0 game that Butler won in the semi-finals of the Sixth Region Tournament.

  • Week one was a learning...

        MOUNT WASHINGTON - Nobody expected the Bullitt East Chargers to pick up exactly where they left off last season, despite being the sixth-ranked team in the state in the pre-season coaches’ poll.

        That was good, because the first week of the season proved to be a challenge for the defending Sixth Region and Semi-State champions as they could only post a 3-3 record. There was some good news in those results and some very frustrating points.

  • County approves bid to get BCHS...

        SHEPHERDSVILLE - The county swimming pool next to Bullitt Central High School should be ready to go when the season starts in late May.

        Bullitt Fiscal Court, with the assistance of the YMCA of Bullitt County, agreed to a bid of Chester Pools of New Albany, Ind., to bring the facility into federal compliance.

        The project would include the removal of the old diving boards and leveling off of the pool’s bottom. The work would also fix the infiltration system to meet the federal safety standards.

        MOUNT WASHINGTON - Two seasons, two trips to the NCAA Women’s National Championship Tournament.

        College basketball is working out just fine for former Bullitt East standout Whitney Hanley as she recently helped her Austin Peay Lady Governors’ to a second consecutive trip to the big show.

  • Defensive struggles hamper...

        HEBRON ESTATES - North Bullitt baseball skipper Brian Wise knew that his team would be inexperienced in terms of varsity play.

        And the first week of play this spring backed up those concerns.

        While seeing positives in each of the first five games, Wise admits that each contest has seen a different part of the Eagles’ play provide some disappointment.

        Facing two of the area’s top teams, the Eagles stumbled through week one with a 1-4 record.

  • BE slugger Whitmer also opts for...

        MOUNT WASHINGTON - Following in roughly the same route as a former and present teammate, Bullitt East slugging standout Josh Whitmer recently signed to play baseball at Lincoln Trail Community College in Robinson, Ill.

        That move will put Whitmer and his next team in the same conference as John A. Logan where Zach McCarthy now plays and where present Bullitt East teammate Matt Bowles recently committed.

  • BE has holes to fill from state...

        MOUNT WASHINGTON - Bullitt East looks at the 2010 edition of the Charger team and sees the return of three of the strongest players from a year ago, including the top two pitchers, and expect great things this spring.

        Long-time Charger head coach Jeff Bowles sees that also, but he also sees that he lost a lot of good players from last season.

        The good news is that Bowles sees a lot of new talent battling for varsity playing time.

  • No experience? No problem for BE...

         MOUNT WASHINGTON - The end was not what Bullitt East coaches, players and fans wanted with the loss to Butler in the regional semi-finals, but that is the nature of high school sports.

        “Every coach except one is unhappy with the way the season ends,” veteran Charger head coach Troy Barr said recently. “But after a few days to reflect and look back and the season as a whole and I feel very good about what we accomplished as a coaching staff and players and program.”

  • Two 'changes' could...

        SHEPHERDSVILLE - While both are not exactly ‘rule’ changes, there are two alterations to softball and baseball that could affect local teams this season.

        The one closest to home and that will affect all the teams is in softball where the pitching rubber has been moved back to 43-feet. This more closely resembles the distance in college.

  • Never have so many been so...

        HEBRON ESTATES - It is hard for North Bullitt baseball coach Brian Wise to recall an Eagle team with any less experience heading into the season than the 2010 edition and Wise has been around for almost 25 years as a player, assistant and now head coach.

        A year ago, North Bullitt had 10 seniors and a veteran crew. That team reached the 24th District championship game and then put up a tough battle against traditional state power Pleasure Ridge Park in the first round of the Sixth Region Tournament.
