  • Spencer, Anderson matching Shelby’s synthetic drug effort

    TAYLORSVILLE – The Spencer County Fiscal Court – much like its counterpart in Shelby County – is scheduled to hear the second reading of an ordinance that would ban the possession and sale of synthetic marijuana countywide.

  • Titans can’t hold big lead, fall in title tilt

    LAWRENCEBURG – Phillip Conder’s girls played more than 21 minutes of some of, if not their best, basketball of the season Friday night.

    It’s those final 10 minutes or so of the 30th District Tournament championship game, though, that he and his Titans would rather forget.

    That’s because host Anderson County outscored Collins, 26-7, during the final 10:43 to rally for 47-43 victory.

  • Titans’ hot-shooting finish nets district title

    LAWRENCEBURG – About the only problem the Collins boys’ basketball team had with the basket at which it shot during the second half of Friday night’s 30th District Tournament final was cutting down its net.
