  • Bears beat Bullitt Central in...

    The Spencer County Bears baseball team didn’t travel out of state for spring break, but they did hit the field for several games and are now sporting a 3-3 record as they begin a long homestand this week.

    The Bears opened their season with a 7-6 win over Bullitt Central on March 24 then a week later, took a 17-3 decision over Doss at a baseball tournament at Louisville Valley. In that event, they also lost a 2-1 extra inning affair to George Rogers Clark.

  • Kentucky-at-Euclid: Todd and Big...

    John Calipari. Big Blue Nation got its man. The worship service has begun.

    President Lee Todd got his man too and reminded us again about separation of church and State.

    Church is the other side of Euclid Avenue and is tithe-exempt from State.

    Whether Todd sold the University’s academic soul for a ball coach remains to be seen.

    Mitch Barnhart got his man also. A hire that probably saved his job. Yet, his Billy Clyde fiasco should cost him a pay cut.

  • Field of dreams: Grizzlies grab...

    Hours before the first pitch, coaches and volunteers of the Spencer County Middle School baseball team were busy trying to prep a field that had been soaked by two inches of rain just a little more than 24 hours before.

    But by game time, the field was playable and those who wandered in early got to see an example of the work and dedication that made the day possible in the first place.

    Two years ago, the middle school did not have a baseball program, and now they’ve got a winning product on the field, and just as importantly, a winning field to call their own.

  • Muddy waters can’t...

    Fishing in April is typically feast or famine: Either you can slay the fish because the conditions are perfect, or you won’t be able to buy a bite because of high, muddy, cold water.

    Cold water colored brown by runoff is one of the toughest fishing conditions in spring. Rains that muddy the water improve fishing from mid-February to mid-March because the run-off is usually warmer than the lake’s water. The increase in water temperatures pushes large bass and sunfish into shallow, warmer water.

  • Magic in March: Make mine T-Will

    Louisville got a spirited tussle from Morehead and a test from feisty Seina, but Ohio State and Wake Forest left the field and this week Rick Pitino’s team, an 8-point choice against 12-seed Arizona, has a cake walk to the Elite Eight, right? Could be, should be.

  • UK should deep-six Calipari

    I’ve put off writing this for hours, waiting for an announcement from UK as to who their next coach is. All indications is that by the time this paper goes to print Tuesday night, John Calipari of the Memphis Tigers will be named new head man for the Wildcats.

    Count me among those who are hoping those rumors are (were) wrong.
