    This spring and summer you’ll be able to see some of the area’s best men’s amateur soccer players in Shelbyville.

    The River City Rovers, a member of the Premier Development League (PDL), will play their home games at the Shelby County Athletic Complex on Burks Branch Road.

    The Rovers, who are in their third season of existence, played their home games the past two years at Christian Academy of Louisville but will relocate a little farther up Interstate 64 this season.

  • Bruner gets another hit, signing...

    Last week Shelby County Coach Bart “Rudy” Roettger recalled the first time he saw Kam Bruner play baseball.

    It was several years ago, a short time after Roettger took over as the Rockets’ head coach, when he went to an 11-year-old all-star game in Lexington.

    “I saw this little chubby guy who could just flat swing the baseball bat,” Roettger, who is in his sixth-year at Shelby, recalled with a laugh.

  • Not much ‘rev’ in the Rockets

    The Shelby County baseball team endured its most frustrating loss – at least it was for Rockets Coach Bart “Rudy” Roettger – of the season Tuesday night.

    Visiting Fairdale rallied to score two runs in the top of the seventh inning and tallied two more in the top of the eighth to beat the Rockets, 5-4, at the Shelby County Athletic Complex.

    It was the third setback in the past four games for Shelby County (19-6), which had won 14 of its first 15 games.

  • Decker continues dominant...

    Another strong pitching performance carried the Collins baseball team to victory Tuesday.

    Senior southpaw David Decker struck out 12 and gave up just three hits as Collins clobbered visiting Portland Christian, 7-2.

    “David pitched great,” Titans Coach Roy Bailey said. “Being left-handed and throwing from underneath and a three-fourths arm slot, he really gets great movement on his fastball. He was able to consistently work the strike zone and work ahead in the count.

  • Titans have ‘Big’ rebound from...

    “Big” Dan Sanders comes by his nickname honestly.

    He is 6 feet 4 and 225 pounds, and so far this season he has lived up to that moniker – not only in stature but also in performance – for Collins’ baseball team.

    Monday evening Sanders was sizable once again for the Titans – giving up three hits while striking out six – in their 5-0 30th District victory over visiting Spencer County as they bounced back from their first loss of the season (6-2 at Grant County last Thursday night).

    It was the fourth last-at bat victory of the season for the Titans (10-13).
