Perfection; Rebels wrap regular season undefeated

Friday night at Patterson Field was about one word---perfection.
The fireworks were loaded and the T-shirts had been bought. All that was needed was for the Rebels to hold up their end of the bargain and finish the job they had started back in August.
They did not disappoint.
In the final regular season game of 2011, Owen County lit up the scoreboard against Ludlow, sort of. They made history by defeating the Panthers, 44-12.
