  • Lady Cougars are set for more...

    SHEPHERDSVILLE - For the second time in three years, the Bullitt Central Lady Cougars will battle with a team that has just one senior.

    That was not a bad thing when the program had Jesse Mattingly as the only senior and head coach Bryan Bates doesn’t see it as a hindrance this winter as senior Lindsay Hester will lead the Lady Cougars both on the floor and in the lockerroom.

    “It’s only one senior, but it is a very good senior,” Bates said before a practice last week. “She was our leading scorer a year ago at 13 points a game.”

  • MW's Lady Generals add to...

    MOUNT WASHINGTON - Over the previous 16 years, the Mount Washington Lady Generals have dominated girls’ basketball at the middle school level, winning all but two of the Bullitt County championships during that span.

    This year, after not winning the title a year ago, coach Christal Scott’s team had a lot to play for. The coach was well aware that traditional would not help the squad against strong opposition from the teams at Eastside and Bernheim.

  • In a balanced region, BE has...

    MOUNT WASHINGTON - There are a lot of teams with high expectations of winning the Boys’ Sixth Region Basketball title this season.

    Count the Bullitt East Chargers among that group.

    In a season in which ‘parity’ seems like the most popular word in coaches’ vocabularies, coach Troy Barr’s team has experience, size and depth.

    While there is a lot of basketball ahead for this group to decide its place in Charger basketball lore, there is little to argue that this could well be the biggest and deepest team ever in Mount Washington.

  • BC shows new look, new life in...

    SHEPHERDSVILLE - When things don’t go so well, high school basketball coaches often make changes in the starting line-up.

    Bullitt Central head coach Joe Pat Lee took that one step further recently when he started adding names to the varsity roster.

    One of those new names, freshman Caleb Craddock, has provided a stabilizing influence on the floor, giving the Cougars a new look and a new outlook on the season.

  • Bullitt Central wrestling seeks...

    SHEPHERDSVILLE – In high school wrestling, there is often a game within the game that coaches play.

    Yes, there is certainly the desire for team success. The Bullitt Central Cougars and head coach Josh Durham did that in 2006 and 2007, winning the regional title. There was even that push a year ago, although, the Cougars ended up third.

    But there is also the individual chase in each of the 14 weight classes. This winter, Durham will focus a little more on building up individuals as opposed to preaching team success.

  • Chargers' defense seals...

    MOUNT WASHINGTON - An offensive showcase that saw over 1,000 total yards of combined offense between two powerhouse teams Friday in the Class 4-A semi-finals ended when Bullitt East’s defense stood up and made a memorable stop.

    On a bitterly cold night, it was the Charger fans that went home with the warm hearts as the red and gold advanced to the Kentucky State Championship game with a 52-49 victory over Calloway County.

  • Lady Eagles win in Shawnee split

    HEBRON ESTATES – In a true rebuilding year, North Bullitt girls’ basketball coach Bill Robinette had several reasons to smile on Monday night.

    But, of course, the Lady Eagles were far from where the veteran coach would like to be by the time district play begins in March.

    Opening the season at home, North Bullitt clawed its way to a 49-20 victory over Shawnee.

    Down 7-6, North Bullitt would score the next 17 points to take the commanding lead.
