    Buehler…Buehler…Buehler.

    Could’ve been the inner monologue for the Shelby County’s baseball team Tuesday night.

    That’s because Henry Clay senior pitcher Walker Buehler, one of the top-rated players in country as well as the state, grounded the Rockets.

    A 6-foot-2 right-hander who has signed with Vanderbilt University, he struck out 11 and gave up only one hit in the first five innings as the Blue Devils ended Shelby’ season-starting 4-game winning streak, 7-1, at Shelby County’s Athletic Complex.

  • Simons says: The pressure comes from the teams’ fans

    Matt Simons knows a thing or two about the rivalry between the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville.

    Simons, a standout 7-footer at Shelby County High School, went on to play for UofL in 1993-94 and 94-95, and his Cardinals teams played Kentucky twice, although they lost both.

    "It's an instate rivalry, and you know, as a player, what it means," he said. "You know from the fans that they feel the pressure, and that's where your pressure comes from. They want you to win so bad."
