Coach Clink and his staff were very nice to the Lady Rebels last night. They showed great class in how they handled the 2nd half. I wish more coaches were this way!

42-9 at halftime. I am sure that it could have been much worse. Congrats to the Bearcats.

Agreed. Been a long year for Owen County. You get used to seeing them have a solid program year in and year out for a decade or two, and then they have a season like this. Just need to remember that they're a class A school too, so they're probably still way ahead of the curves for a lot of schools their size.

Coach Osborne has done a great job with a very young and unseasoned team. His squad has remained pretty positive despite taking some lumps. This year the Lady Rebels are planting seeds early for a future harvest that might pay off in great ways. They have been basically playing a varsity schedule with middle school, freshman and JV-aged kids, so if they don't get negative, it should work out very well for them down the road. Many coaches might have gotten out with a season on the horizon such as this, but Coach O has shown good character and a love for the game that he is teaching these young ladies. Very commendable indeed!

Couldn't have happened to a better team
