The Butler County High School Boys Golf Team has been very busy this past week. They participated in a 18 hole invitational at Western Hills this past Saturday and had three matches.

On September 3^rd the Bears played Breckinridge County at home. Hunter Cardwell led the Bears with a 42, Houston Jones and Remmington Harpe both put up 44’s. Eddie Phelps had a 45, Jon Zlater and Easton Jones both with a 47.

Fall certainly brings ample things to discuss if you're interested in sports. From NASCAR to the NFL it's been a headline week in sports, so there's much ground to cover.

First to the NFL. I'm starting to think the 49ers are for real, that the Eagles are already better than they were under Andy Reid, and that it might behoove the Mayor of Cleveland to outlaw football within the city limits. I must also say that after his 7 touchdown night to open the season I've decided that Peyton Manning is the best quarterback I will ever see play the game.

Butler County found itself on the wrong end of a lopsided score on Friday night in Morgantown as the Russellville Panthers handed the Bears a 41-0 homecoming loss. 
Poor field position plagued the Bears from the outset as a fumble on kick-off return put the ball on the BC 1-yard line.  Still, carries by Butler's Jake Martin and Travis Brooks gave the Bears a first down on their first possession, pushing the ball out to their 12-yard line.  The momentum was short-lived as three plays later Butler was forced to punt. 

Butler County Bassmasters was founded in 1988 when several men in the Aberdeen Baptist Church got together and decided to put together a bass club with Michael Embry serving as the first club Tournament Director. In the early tournaments, the club would meet at the church with their two man boats and puddle jumpers and take off from there. Strip pits, along with the Mud and Green Rivers in the county were the main tournament sites.

The stadium was packed on Friday night as the Butler County Bears faced off with the Panther of Russellville High School.  Homecoming activities were held prior to the game.  Congratulations to the 2013 Homecoming Queen and King Isabella Corona and Chad Cardwell. The BCHS Marching Band performed at half time and despite the loss, the cheerleaders kept the crowd engaged.  Next week the Bears head to Breck County, Good Luck!  Now enjoy scenes from the sidelines....

An athletic and speedy Russellville team will be making the short trek to Morgantown tonight to face the Butler County Bears in a Homecoming 2013 gridiron match-up.  Butler County (1-0) defeated Logan County 47-0 on opening week.  The Bears were idle last week.  Meanwhile, Russellville (2-0) beat Trigg on the road 41-21 and Ft. Campbell last week at home 42-35. 
Coach Ryan Emmick knows his team will be facing a big test tonight.

When pioneers first saw the section of south-central Kentucky south and east of what is now Glasgow, the vast grasslands confounded them. They felt the soil too poor to support trees and believed the region barren. The grassy area attracted many bison, elk and deer, and also Native Americans who often hid in the tall grass of these prairies to ambush unsuspecting settlers as well as game.

Butler County Middle School (BCMS) softball is in full swing and will continue to Fall Break.  The young softball Bears have picked up wins against Grayson County and St.

The boy’s high school soccer team, coached by Jim Melton, is a little short when it comes to seniors. Only having two seniors is rough, but with the team holding seven juniors, ten sophomores, four freshman and three middle school athletes, this will help build the soccer program in the years to come.

The Butler County High School Boys' Golf Team has been very busy so far this season; they have had at least three matches every week since the kickoff in early August. On August 27th, the boys traveled to Breckinridge County. Ten golfers from Butler County participated; Hunter Cardwell, Houston Jones and Brandon Jones each shot 48, Remmington Harpe 53, Jon Zlater and Trevor Dockery each had a 54, Easton Jones 56, Eddie Phelps with a 57, Skyler Moore with a 59, Zack West with a 73. It was a good match for all of the younger players to experience the pressure of a different golf course.
