  • All-American youth

    Spencer County’s Youth All-American selections Dalton Goodlett and Will Eldridge helped their 8th Grade Limited East Squad to an exciting 16-14 win last Saturday in San Antonio’s Alamodome.

    Both players were picked after completing Spencer County Middle’s championship season. They were drafted as running backs and defensive ends by Football University, but once there saw the team was short on linemen and both unselfishly agreed to move to those positions.

  • Never-give-up attitude gives boys a win, bringing record to 5-15

    Coach Jacob Barmore knew the wins would be few and far between this season, so picking up a road victory at Louisville Brown was enjoyable Saturday, but not unexpected.

    Barmore said there are a few teams on this year’s schedule that are comparable to Spencer County given the Bears’ inexperience and youth, and said those are the games his boys need to claim. On Saturday afternoon on a cold day and in a cold gym, the Bears did just that, even though they had to rally to do so.

  • Lady Bears slow out of gate in 51-37 win over Brown

    The Spencer County Lady Bears had a week off before returning to action Saturday afternoon in downtown Louisville against Brown. The gals looked a little rusty coming out of the gate, but were able to scrap out a 51-37 win.

    It was a sluggish beginning, but senior Kenisha Marshall was able to control the boards underneath, grabbing rebounds and scoring her team’s first eight points. Louisville Brown trailed 8-4 as the clock ticked down to end the quarter, but a Brown player heaved a 35-foot desperation shot that went in to keep the game tight at 8-7.

  • Sports in Kentucky: Cards and Cats, what a show!

    When 20 per cent shooting Edgar Sosa pulled up at 20-something last Sunday and fired, one could almost hear a collective gasp from Rick Pitino and Louisville fans. No! NO!

    Three!

    Kentucky fans? If one imagined the Wildcats’ half-million internet assistant coaches we might have heard, “uh, oh!”

    No, not Sosa’s last shot but his first one that put Louisville in front 3-0.

  • Mt. Eden responds to Shelby Co. house fire

    Mt. Eden Fire Chief Doug Herndon said that when crews responded to a house fire at 2709 Pea Ridge Road in Shelby County, they found the entire back portion of the two-story home completely engulfed in flames.

    Herndon said that no one was at home at the time of the blaze, which occurred last Friday.

    Because of the remote location, water had to be shuttled from nearly five miles away.

    “We salvaged some items. A few pictures and collector knives, but little else,” said Herndon. “It was almost a total loss.”
