Newly fallen snow has a way of awakening the spirit of adventure in kids and grown-ups alike.
It’s also nature’s tattletale.
As such, a fresh blanket of snow opens a window to new discoveries by revealing which animals inhabit the landscape around us and how they use it during the winter months.
Animal tracking in the snow exercises the body and mind, and it can be fun for the entire family.

Both the Butler County Bears and Lady Bears basketball teams have both notched wins in the new year of 2016, improving their season win-loss record in the process.

Butler County Middle School recognized the 8th grade boys basketball players and cheerleaders at a recent game.  Congratulations to players, cheerleaders, and parents.

Bowling Green, KY – The Bowling Green Hot Rods in conjunction with their parent club, the Tampa Bay Rays, announce that Reinaldo Ruiz will return as the team’s manager for the 2016 season.  Ruiz is joined by coach Manny Castillo, pitching coach Bill Moloney, athletic trainer James Ramsdell, and strength and conditioning coach Andrew Cook.

The Lady Bears were involved in two pre Holiday events. Last Saturday the Lady Bears traveled to Hart Co. High School for the one day Hart Co. Classic. After falling the night before in overtime to Ohio Co. In which a valiant comeback effort came up just short many wondered how the Lady Bears would respond having two games the next day. The Lady Bears responded well by going 2-0 and bringing home the first place trophy from the event. First the girls defeated Louisville Brown 49-21 as the Lady Bears used pressure defense to force their opponent into many turnovers.

The Butler County Bears added to the holiday spirit this week with a clean sweep of four opponents at the Beech Tree News/WLBQ 101.5 Christmas Classic - the first holiday tournament hosted by Butler County in a decade.  The Bears defeated Holy Cross and Hickman County on Monday, while dispatching Bethlehem and Cumberland County on Tuesday to go undefeated for the two-day event.  The tournament wins extend Butler County's record to 7-3 on the season.  

With holiday tournaments a common feature in high school basketball, the Butler County Bears opted to cut down on travel and host their own tournament.  The result is the first-ever Beech Tree News/WLBQ 101.5 Christmas Classic, which is set for December 21-22 at the B.C.H.S. gym.  Four teams will join Butler County in the two-day event. 
When Coach Calvin Dockery began planning for the Christmas tournament, he was in need of a sponsor.  After speaking with Coach Dockery, Beech Tree News and WLBQ 101.5 decided to sign on as the primary tournament sponsor.
