Thanksgiving is behind us now, the December calendar sheet comes to the front on Tuesday and freezing temperatures have already been experienced here in southern Kentucky.

All of that can only mean a a couple of things – winter is fastly approaching and the 2015-16 high school basketball has already arrived.

Prep basketball began with the arrival Tuesday of December with the Lady Bulldogs and Bulldogs traveling to Casey County to get the season off and running.

Both teams will be home the following Friday night, December 4, for the home opener at the Lindle Castle Gymansium as they play host to Franklin Simpson with the girls’ action tipping off at 6:00 p.m.

With this week’s Clinton County News, we also present our annual Big Blue Preview pre-season special section that will offer fans the chance to get in early on learning all about the players, coaches, teams and support teams we will be supporting this season.

Enjoy, and head out to the gym next week as we get another season off and running. GO BIG BLUE!
