Hannah Neeley had eight points and Katelyn Sutherland tossed in seven. Lynsey Farrar had four points. Meredith Marston had two.

  • Lady Rebels return from layoff...

    “This is just like last year,” Jensen Wainscott said as she entered the huddle during the final timeout of Friday night’s game with Oldham County.

    Wainscott was referring to Jan. 15, 2008, when her 3-pointer had given the Lady Rebels a 1-point lead over the Lady Colonels before the visitors went the length of the floor in the final seconds and scored to defeat Owen County 51-50.

    Following Rianna Gayheart’s 3-pointer, the Lady Rebels and their coach knew the best Oldham County could do would be to tie the game and send it to overtime.

  • Rebels drop two of three

    Owen County knew going into the week that it was not going to be easy.

    The Rebels were set to face off against Gallatin County, Williamstown and Grant County. They had defeated all three earlier in the season and all three had been decided in the final few minutes. Last week was to be much of the same.

    On Feb. 2, the Rebels headed to Warsaw to face Gallatin County. Owen County trailed 18-15 at the end of the first quarter. The Rebels rallied in the second quarter to outscore the Wildcats 16-8 and took a lead into halftime.

  • Pool party pals

    To say John Brumback likes billiards would be an understatement.

    He began playing the game when he was 11 years old. He began to get serious about it around the age of 15. He spent the last two years practicing 10 to 12 hours a day.

    Saturday, all of his hard work and dedication paid off.

    Brumback walked away with the All-Around Title from the Derby City Classic. The tournament took place at the Horseshoe Casino near New Albany, Ind. It began Jan. 23 and ended Saturday night.

  • Snow, ice and bad roads beat...

    It’s a shame Owen County High School doesn’t have a hockey team.

    It would have had a better chance of playing last week than the basketball teams did.

    With several inches of snow and ice hitting the area, both teams were shutout of playing any games last week.

    In fact, the teams were even limited to how much practice time they got. The only basketball being played in Owen County last week was on a video game system. That is, if you had power.

    Duke has the Cameron Crazies, Cleveland has the Dawg Pound and Kentucky has the Eruption Zone. Having a home field or home court advantage can be an important factor to a home team winning the game.

  • Rebels grab big district victory

    There is no place like home.

    That is what the Owen County Rebels are saying following two weeks of games away from Owen County. The Rebels’ world tour began Dec. 18 with a game at Henry County. They then hit the road for Bourbon County to play in the Kentucky Bank Shootout before traveling to Lloyd for a pre-Christmas game with the Juggernauts. It was then three days in Campbellsville for the Coca-Cola/Campbellsville University Shootout.

    After returning home for a couple of days of practice, the Rebels got on one more bus for a trip to Carrollton Saturday night.

  • Lady Rebels reach tourney finals

    For the second year in a row, the Owen County Lady Rebels reached the finals of a holiday basketball tournament.

    Along the way to the championship game, the Lady Rebels defeated North Bullitt (41-32) on Dec. 20 in the first round; and on Dec. 22, they took on the Lady Bears of Spencer County in round two.
