The Henry County Lady Cats traveled to Louisville Sept. 6 to take on the Pleasure Ridge Park Lady Panthers and fell 4-3.

The Lady Cats struck first in the game when Megan Abney scored 12 minutes into the game after dribbling through the defense to get into a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper.

The Lady Cats added to their lead when Savannah Medley was fouled just outside the 18-yard box. Abney took the free kick from about 23 yards away and netted her second goal of the game.

You wouldn’t necessarily know it now without being a local history buff, but by the accounts I’ve seen and heard, the Eminence Lodge 140 of the International Order of the Odd Fellows used to be a real local powerhouse.

I’ve written about the Eminence lodge a couple times recently as they’ve had the misfortune to be the victim of a theft of a big part of their financial assets, which prompted the closing of the long-established fraternal order.

The Henry County Lady Cats started an important stretch of their season last week with the first two district seeding games at Gallatin County and Carroll County. The Lady Cats lost to Gallatin 2-0 on Sept. 13 then defeated Carroll by the same score two nights later.
The game against Gallatin County was scoreless at halftime, but the Lady Wildcats were able to score midway through the second half on a breakaway by Shelby Ackermann after a long kick downfield bounced over the head of the Henry County defenders.
