The Butler County Boys Golf Program has been working diligently over the dog days of summer despite many adversities. Greg Moore is in his second season as coach and is trying to make strides in building a program.
“The KHSAA has implemented new guidelines on playing high school sports based on grade-level,” Coach Moore explained. “If they were on roster last year as a fourth grader or above, the athlete would be grandfathered in and eligible to play,” Moore continued.

Obviously if you read my columns, listen to me on the radio, or are ever around me at all you already figured I would have an opinion about the tragic racing accident last week in New York state that involved NASCAR’s Tony Stewart.

I should preface all my comments by saying that Stewart is by far my favorite driver of all time, and I’ve followed his career since he was a youngster in USAC sprint cars and midgets. However I’m not going to apologize for Stewart’s role in the death of Kevin Ward, Jr.

Coming off a successful 7-4 season in 2013 that ended with a playoff loss at Murray, the Butler County Bears football squad is set to take to the field Friday night, August 22, against Logan County to begin its 2014 campaign.  Kick-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. - 30 minutes later than usual due to an expected high heat index.
