The Butler County Tennis Team just concluded another successful season of tennis Wednesday night at the city park with a match against Muhlenberg County.  Before the match began, the team’s three seniors were recognized.  The boy’s team had one senior this year, Dakota Merrick.  The girl’s team had two seniors, Chanda Hampton and Katona Dockery.  Rain and freezing temperatures forced several cancellations for the team this year, but both teams were able to finish the season with impressive winning records.

The Butler County Bears Baseball team went into the game Tuesday night on a 5 game losing streak.   This trip was the third straight year in which the Bears have had the opportunity to play at Bowling Green Ballpark, home of the Bowling Green Hot Rods.  The excitement was even greater knowing that this time, they were playing a huge district game against the Edmonson County Wildcats.
