The Butler County High School Cheerleaders competed at the 3rd Region Kapos Cheerleading Competition on Saturday, January 7. The competition took place at Owensboro High School, and featured schools from around the 3rd Region. BCHS competed in the large varsity division, where squads must have 17-20 cheerleaders. There are seven divisions at Kapos competitions, and squads are divided depending on how many cheerleaders are on the team, if the squad is co-ed, and which type of routine they want to perform.

Anticipation was high as middle school boys basketball fired back up on Tuesday night after Christmas break as the 7th grade team faced off against Muhlenberg North on the first day back to school.  The Bears had traveled to North earlier in the year and was served their only loss for the season thus far.  With this being a district match up, the Bears needed to win by 8 points to sew up the number one seed in the GRVC tournament at the end of the season.   Apparently the boys knew exactly what they needed to do and they wasted no time getting it done.  Rex Henderson put on a shooting clini

The Butler County Lady Bears wrapped up play in the Greenwood Gator Classic on Friday evening when they took on the Lady Dawgs of Clinton County High School. The Lady Bears opened play on Tuesday with a win in pool play versus Warren East High School, but things had gone sour for BCHS since that win. Two straight losses to Franklin-Simpson and Caverna left the Lady Bears needing a win on Friday to break even in the tourney. Unfortunately a slow scoring first half doomed their hopes and they fell to the Lady Dawgs by a final score of 46-38.

After their 102-97 loss on Wednesday the Bears were back in action Thursday morning in Calhoun. It was the third and final day of the Advanced Drainage Systems Roundball Roundup at McLean County High School, and the Bears would be facing a district foe in Whitesville Trinity High School.

The Butler County Lady Bears got back in action on Tuesday night after an extended layoff for Christmas break. The Lady Bears traveled to Bowling Green to play in the Greenwood Holiday Classic. Awaiting BCHS was a one-win Warren East High School Lady Raider squad that was hungry to get another win.

Christmastime means a heaping helping of high school basketball to go along with all the dinners, presents, and parties. The tradition of holiday hoops has kept the teams from BCHS busy this week on day-trips to play in a pair of holiday showcase events.

On Tuesday morning the Bears traveled to Calhoun, KY to take on the Owensboro High School Red Devils in the Advanced Drainage Systems Round Ball Roundup at McLean County High School.

Carroll County was the site of the Butler County High School Bears first holiday tournament last week for the North American Stainless Classic.  The Bears went 1-2 for the tournament, which began December 21 and ran through December 23.  Butler County dropped a 61-43 decision to Gallatin on Wednesday; won a hard-fought, triple overtime thriller 93-91 over Trimble County on Thursday; and fell to Hancock County 59-56 in a Third Region rematch on Friday.
