  • Softball: Anderson 7, SCHS 0:...

    Good teams will make you pay for extra outs, according to the old diamond truth.

    A Shelby County error prolonged the top of the fourth inning Monday night, and Anderson County showed why it feels it is becoming a good team.

    Seven consecutive Bearcats reached base – six of them scored – in the decisive inning on their way to a 7-0 victory in a key 30th District matchup at the Shelby County athletic complex.

  • Slaughter makes history

    The University of Louisville men’s and women’s basketball teams have a chance to make history early next week.

  • The awful fall of Kevin Ware

    INDIANAPOLIS – Kevin Ware lay on the raised hardwood of a basketball court constructed in a football stadium and feeling far more pain, we would bet, than any padded professional ever had endured on a fall Sunday in that building.

    He was prone, his lower right leg dangling and useless, the shocked victim of a turn-your-head moment so awful that his teammates and coaches and even nearby journalists were left with tears, choked back words and even throats full of bile by what they had seen of this fallen basketball player for the University of Louisville.

  • Slaughter has big role in ambush

    To the victors go the spoils – and pictures with Kevin Durant.

    Posing for photos with the NBA’s leading scorer was one of the perks for Shelbyville’s Antonita Slaughter, a junior guard on the University of Louisville women’s basketball team, on Sunday night after the Cardinals shocked Baylor, 82-81, in the NCAA Tournament’s Oklahoma City Regional semifinals.

  • Wells switches to Morehead State

    Collins senior girls’ basketball standout Aaliyah Wells has rescinded her commitment to play college hoops for Vincennes (Ind.) University Junior College and orally committed to Morehead State.

    “It’s understandable,” Collins Coach Phillip Conder said. “That’s what everybody dreams about, going to play at the Division One level. It’s great for her.”
