Released July 21, 2008 Ohio County Players Earn Top Honors at Bluegrass State Games The Bluegrass State Games concluded on Sunday, July 20 with the awarding of top spots to several Ohio County players. The State Games are a compilation of different sports sponsored by the state of Kentucky and several partners designed to bring athletes from all over the state for competition and encourage a healthy lifestyle. The events are also sanctioned by the US Olympic Committee. Several Ohio County players earned gold and silver medals this past weekend. Ohio County Area Soccer's Under-10 Girls All-Star team (Rage) captured the silver medal on Sunday afternoon falling to the Hot Shots of NK United 8-1 after several weather delays placed the game on hold. The team started play on Saturday morning defeating Asteria of Nelson County 3-2 in a very tight match. Later that day, Rage secured their spot as the group winner and earned the #1 seed in the semi-finals by hanging on to a 2-0 lead at halftime against the St. Agnes Wildcats. The Wildcats tried to build some momentum in the second half by scoring a goal with 8 minutes left but were held scoreless by the Rage defense. Sunday morning's semi-finals pitted Rage against the Lady Storm with the winner playing for gold and loser playing for bronze. The first ten minutes of the game saw a battle from both teams but Rage finally found the net in the 13th minute. Capitalizing on that, the teams went to half with Rage leading 3-0. Rage kept the momentum going in the second half and shut out the Wildcats 7-0. A great weekend to finish their season and a big congratulations to the girls!!! Squad Members Jamilee Hepner Allison Browning Emilee Renfrow Savannah Loney Six other local players earned gold this weekend as well competing with West Kentucky. The West team was coached by John Tichenor, currently the Madisonville-North Hopkins Varsity Boys Coach. John has over 20 years coaching experience and selected the players from 4 different counties. West began play on Saturday morning overcoming a 2-1 deficit at halftime against the NK United Force to end the game with a tie at 2-2. Their next game pitted the West team against a younger LFC Premier team that was playing up an age bracket. Taking advantage of their size and speed, West shut out the LFC team 9-0. This secured a #1 seed for West heading into Sunday's semi-finals. Sunday morning the team played the Newcomers of NK United for a berth in the championship Sunday afternoon. A very tight battle in the first half led to the teams being tied at halftime, 0-0. West overcame the quickness of the Newcomers in the second half and secured their right to play for gold with a 2-0 finish. Sunday afternoon's championship had West playing the Hot Shots from Northern Kentucky. A very competitive match with questionable officiating was finally settled near the end of the game with a goal by West. Gold was theirs with a 1-0 score.
