  • Lady Rebels ready to return to glory

    For five years, the Owen County High School girls basketball team had been the dominant force in the 31st District.
    Things changed last season when they were knocked off that perch. They are hoping a new year means a return to their old form.
    The Lady Rebels began last season 10-3 before the calendar turned to 2013.
    After Jan. 1, 2013,  the team finished the season 8-8 to end up 18-11 overall. They would go 6-2 against district competition.
    Those two losses would come against the same team.
