    Last season, the Owen County High School Lady Rebels soccer team won the 31st District title on an overtime goal.

    The Lady Rebels traveled to New Castle last week for their opening round game of the 31st District Tournament with Gallatin County High School.
    Owen County had already defeated the Lady Wildcats twice during the regular season in a pair of tightly contested games in which the Lady Rebels won 2-1 and 1-0.
