  • Track team grabs second finish...

    It was a good day at the Class A Region 5 Meet for the Owen County High School boys track team.
    After a third-place finish a year ago the team put together a great day and came home with a second-place finish. The only team better was Burgin.
    Several Rebels had outstanding days including Collin Trammel who won his second-straight regional title in the 200-meter dash.
    Trammel, along with Paul Banks, Ian Oaks and Chris Smith, made up the 4x200-meter relay team which finished first.
    The same four also placed second in the 4x100-meter relay.

  • Rebel losing streak is over

    There are some streaks teams want to end - namely losing streaks.
    The Owen County High School baseball team ended such a streak last week when they hosted Walton-Verona at Dunavent Field.
    The Rebels had dropped eight-straight contests while Walton-Verona entered the game having won four in a row. One of the games in the middle of both streaks was a Bearcat 13-7 win over the Rebels on  April 30 in Verona.
    Owen County would get a measure of revenge as they defeated the visitors 5-3 to improve its record to 14-13 on the season.
