On May 11, 2017, Oak Ridge Christian Academy’s Cory Mason signed his letter of intent to Kentucky Christian University to continue his basketball career.

On Saturday May 13th, the Bears travelled to Green County to compete in the Class A Region 2 meet. The Bears’ season has been a great one to this point with success on the track and in the field. The team’s two seniors, Hannah Perry and Dalton Lee, both entered the day with the possibility of this being the last meet of their high school careers, but refused to take that for an answer as both qualified for the State Meet on May 20th in Lexington.
“I think out of everything, I will miss track the most," said Perry.

It has been a wet spring with a lot of cancellations and schedule changes but the Butler County Bears' Baseball and Softball teams are entering their final week of season prior to the 12th District Tournament.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (May 11, 2017) – The months of May and June make for two of the best for catching largemouth bass. The weather is warm, but not too hot, and the largemouth bass feed heavily as warmer water temperatures increase their desire to eat.
Largemouth bass are one of the most popular sport fish in Kentucky. Two of Kentucky’s excellent state resort parks, Barren River Lake State Resort and Lake Barkley State Resort Park, lie on two of the best largemouth bass lakes in our state.

The Butler County High School honored the senior softball, baseball, and track students and their parents on Monday night.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (May 4, 2017) – It is Kentucky Derby week, a fantastic time of year. Summer is around the corner and families start to go on summer vacations shortly.
Taking your kids to catch some hand-sized bluegill is another great aspect of this time of year in our state.
“A lot of your bigger male bluegill are moving up into the shallows,” said David Baker, Central Fisheries District biologist for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “It is an excellent time to take kids out and get them excited and hooked on fishing.”
