    Humble pie comes to us all. Last Saturday, near 2 o’clock eastern time SEC East south-bound Kentucky was struck by a north-bound coal train called Florida at sonic speed. 63-5.

    By 2:45, as jubilant Gator fans flapped their arms and clamored for more from the Urban Meyer diesels, three things happened.

    First, Steve Ortmayer, the special teams coach, got a chin job from Rich Brooks after which he looked as if he’d been hit by a blocking sled.

  • Bears run down Henry Co.

    An effective run-it-down-their-throat offense, combined with a defense that made the big plays, allowed the Spencer County Bears to collect what their coach calls the biggest win in the school’s history with a 38-25 victory on the road over Henry County Friday night.

    “This is no doubt the biggest win in our program’s history,” said Head Coach Matt Powenski, whose Bears, at 2-5 on the season, came in as the decided underdogs against the ranked Wildcats.

    Cody Ingram tries to maneuver around two defenders during a recent home game for the Spencer County Bears.

    The boys soccer team finished the season with a loss last Monday night during the opening round of district tournament play in Shelby County, but the game was a good measuring stick for how much improvement they made over the season.

    The Bears fell 5-1 to highly-regarded Oldham County, but in doing so, made great strides from earlier in the season when they lost to the same team 10-0 back in August.

    For the season, the Bears finished 4-13-2 on the year.

    First, NCAA president Myles Brand reported a sampling of freshmen enrolled 1998-2001 reflected student-athletes in all sports earning college degrees had reached 79 per cent, one point shy of his goal - eight of every 10 student-athletes leaving college with degrees.
