If you missed it Saturday, the Owensboro Catholic girls won the program's first state title at the Class A State Cross Country Championships at Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. Five Lady Aces placed in the top 20, led by senior Peyton Reid, who took fourth in 18:35.89.

A year ago, the Lady Aces fell short of that title, and the disappointment drove this season. Before the race, Peyton said the plan was simple: “Sleep. Water. Eating well and just being excited.” Her dad, Jacob Reid, is the head coach.

  • Region title: fourth straight in Class 1A
  • Peyton Reid: won the regional meet individually
  • Seniors: six led the team this season

“It feels good to reach 160 wins,” Edge said, according to The Owensboro Times. He took over at Owensboro Catholic in 2004 and spent 14 years there. Edge also gave credit to his wife, Lauren: “If it wasn’t for her, we definitely wouldn’t have gotten to 160 wins.”

  • Apollo scored on its first six drives
  • Ground game: 207 yards and four touchdowns
  • Defense: two touchdowns off turnovers
