  • Lady Rebels catch a good break

    While most were returning unwanted sweaters at the mall last week, the Owen County Lady Rebels were playing some of their best basketball of the season.

    After falling in their opener against Male High School, the Lady Rebels cruised to a pair of victories over Shelby County and Bishop Brossart.

  • Lady Rebels enjoy a merry week

    The Lady Rebels could not have asked for a better start to district play. After three games against 31st District opponents, Owen County has yet to suffer defeat. In fact they have won all three games by double digits.
    The team knocked off Carroll County two weeks ago to begin district play. They then traveled to Gallatin County and Henry County last week and continued their winning ways.

  • Rebels grab big road win

    What started out as a promising week for Owen County ended in disappointment.
    The Rebels began last week with a tough, hard-fought win at Gallatin County before closing out the week with a loss at Henry County Friday.
    The team headed into the game at Gallatin County looking to erase a pair of losing streaks. The Wildcats were riding a three-game winning streak over the Rebels and Owen County had not won in Warsaw since December 2006.
    Owen County ended both streaks with a 57-53 victory.

  • Kennedi Dermon breaks MBMS...

    Owen County High School Head Girls Basketball Coach Bob Osborne shouldn’t have any trouble finding someone to put the ball in the basket for the next several years.

    Osborne currently has Rianna Gayheart, who was Maurice Bowling Middle School’s all-time leading scorer.

    He also has Hannah Neeley, who was the record-holder for most points scored in a single season.

    The key word in both of those sentences is “was.”

    Last year, as a seventh-grader, Kennedi Dermon broke Neeley’s record by scoring 292 points.

  • Lady Rebels rattle off two...

    The first two games for the Lady Rebels turned into a pair of blowout wins. Owen County first took care of Grant County, 74-36, Nov. 29 before easily defeating Williamstown, 76-48,  Friday. Both games were played in Owenton.

    Rianna Gayheart began her junior season by scoring 22 points, dishing out four assists and grabbing eight steals against Grant County. Also adding 22 points in the opener was sophomore Hannah Neeley.

    If the Lady Rebels had any first-game jitters, there were no outward signs.
