Soccer
Team Keeps Working
The results
may not be want they want, but the Owen County boys soccer team
keeps working hard. Over the past two weeks the team has had
their share of ups and downs.
The ups include a second place finish in the Frankfort JV Invitational.
The Rebels prevailed against Frankort in game one. The game
went into a sudden death shootout after Blake Lewis, Clayton
Cook, Taylor Davis and Chris Haines scored in the first shootout.
In the sudden death it was Adam Bruner who netted his first
attempt and keeper Justin Davis who made the save on the Frankfort
kick to secure the win. Franklin County defeated the Rebels
in the next game. Kyle Kelly, Adam Bruner and Taylor Davis were
named to the All-Tournament Team.
The varsity team traveled to Calvary Christian on September
13 for a rematch against a team who beat the Rebels in the Owen
County Invitational. Owen County found themselves in a 3-0 hole
at the half. They battled back in the second half and cut the
deficit to 3-2 on goals by Taylor Davis and Blake Lewis. The
Rebels had several chances late that they were not able to convert
and Calvary Christian got a score in the final minutes for the
4-2 win.
The Rebels then took part in the Frankfort Invitational where
they played Grant County in the first game. The Rebels got on
top early in the game on a goal by Matt Becker. Grant County
would end up tying the game in the 33rd minute and the game
would eventually end up in a shootout. In the shootout, Billy
Payton saw the Grant County goalie make a tremendous save on
his shot to give the Braves the win. Owen County would then
take on Boyle County in the second game and drop a 6-0 decision.
Some of the downs included a loss to one of the best teams in
the state in Woodford County and another to Anderson County.
The Rebels would also drop a 2-0 contest to Anderson County.
The Rebels will travel to Dry Ridge for a match against Grant
County on Thursday. The match will get underway at 5:30.
