SHEPHERDSVILLE - After a year ‘away from home’, Bullitt Central softball coach Buddy Gallemore is back in his familiar spot leading the Lady Cougar program.

For six years Gallemore was a fixture with Bullitt Central softball, two years as an assistant coach before taking the top sport for the next four years. Last year, Gallemore strayed to the top job at Seneca High School while continuing to teach at Bullitt Central. Now, he is back with a number of familiar faces ready to help.

MOUNT WASHINGTON - A year of familiarity with each other should pay dividends this spring for the Bullitt East softball program.

A year ago, head coach Ed Phelps was not hired until a few months before the start of the 2008 season. That made it a learning experience for the coach and his players throughout the season.

Now, the coach knows his players and the players know what to expect from the coach.

HEBRON ESTATES - For most area baseball teams, getting to the University of Louisville’s Jim Patterson Stadium for a regional tournament game pretty much sits at the top of the ‘goal list’ at the start of each season.

For the North Bullitt Eagles, it is more a ‘been there and done that’ mindset in terms of that wish list. Of course, the green and gold want to get to that stage, something they did last season. Now, the top goal is to start winning games that go far into the post-season.

HEBRON ESTATES - Not every night could be Feb. 6 for the North Bullitt Eagles this season.

For one night, the green and gold put all the pieces together. The result was a 56-48 victory over Southern, the team that earned the top seed in the 24th District Tournament and eventually reached the district final before losing a close game to Fairdale.

Most of the rest of the season was one frustration after another for the Eagles. The team ended up with only four victories in 28 games and Southern was the only team they defeated that ended up with a winning record.
