  • Lady Knights drop first match

    The Marion County High School girls golf team may be 0-1 in match play so far but Head Coach Danny McFall isn't fazed.

    After all, their only match of the year came against the team that finished fourth in the state last year and lost no players to graduation.

    The Lady Knights played well at Rosewood Golf Course on Thursday night but not well enough to beat a state title contender. Marion County fell to Green County 186 to 167.

    McFall said Green County's top four scores were in the high thirties and low forties.
