The Spencer County Bears fought to a 2-2 tie against North Bullitt last Thursday in a game that felt more like a loss because of the way the Eagles scored the tying goal late in the contest.

With the Bears up 2-1 with less than 10 minutes remaining, a Spencer County player went down hard with a leg injury. There’s typically no stoppage of play in soccer when a player is injured, but unwritten rules of sportsmanship dictate that the ball is usually kicked out of bounds after a short period of time to allow the player to be tended to.

A familiar face will be missing at Spencer County High School sporting events. The passing of Roy Brewer last week did not go unnoticed in the community and at Friday’s football game, a special jersey bearing Brewer’s name was presented to his family as a moment of silence was observed in honor of the life-long fan of local sports.
