  • Lady Rebels take two out of three

    A week that began with a loss in an Eighth Region showdown ended with a 31st District win.
    The Lady Rebels opened up last week with a contest against the team some thought was the best in the Eighth Region — the South Oldham Lady Dragons.
    “I think they are the best team,” Owen County High School Head Girls Basketball Coach Bob Osborne said.
    The Lady Dragons came to Owenton Jan. 24 and went back to Crestwood with a 67-52 win.
    South Oldham jumped out to a 6-1 lead and had extended that lead to 20-13 by the end of the first quarter.

  • Despite delays, tournament...

    The tournament that will not end will finally crown a champion tonight.
    The Eighth Region All “A” Classic was to have been decided Saturday. Mother Nature had other ideas, however, as the area saw snow that accumulated enough to force the postponement of both the semifinals and the finals.
    The semifinals were decided Tuesday when Owen County took on Gallatin County and Eminence squared off against Trimble County.
    The winners will play tonight at 7 p.m. with the winner advancing to the All “A” State Tournament next week in Richmond.

    Timing is everything in life. You always get stopped by the train when you are running late or you always carry your umbrella until the day it actually rains.
    The same is true in basketball. Just ask the Owen County Lady Rebels.
    After rolling through their last five games, the Lady Rebels shot just 16 of 55 from the field in falling to Williamstown in the semifinals of the Eighth Region All ‘“A” Classic at Walton-Verona.
