After a long, tiring week the Knights finished sluggish... 81 holes of golf over the course of a week is likely to do that to a team.

Despite a break neck schedule, the Marion County High School boys golf team took care of business by winning their second consecutive Heartland Conference tournament and finishing 18-2 in match play.

The team's ninth place finish in the Marion County Invitational and higher scores later in the week prompted Head Coach Freddie Leathers to cancel Monday's match at Maywood to rest up and spend the week working on individual weaknesses.

Trophies from the 1953 and 1954 Lebanon High School conference champion football teams recently resurfaced after being missing for over 20 years.

Raphael O'Daniel said the trophies from the South Central Kentucky Conference championship turned up recently, and just in time. A reunion for team members and their 90-year-old coach Ted Cook sparked a search for the missing trophies.

The Marion Cup brought in a higher volume of fans than normal and the Knights didn't leave the spectators disappointed.

Down 1-0 with time running out, sophomore John Southall netted a goal that ricocheted off senior Austin Spalding and a Meade County defender in the 78th minute of the game to send Marion County High School and Meade County into a 1-1 penalty kick shoot out.

"We as a group collectively stepped up to try to make that tying goal," Head Coach Greg Conley said.
