MUCH-NEEDED WIN: Lady Colonels snap five-game losing skid 

Kelly Sawyers’ Whitley County Lady Colonels needed a win in the worst way, and they got it on Thursday by collecting a 4-1 victory over Wayne County.

The Lady Colonels (5-9) entered the match riding a season-worst five-game losing skid, and seven of their last eight matches.

Goals by Deserae Haynes (18th minute) and Maddy Earls (33rd) gave Whitley County a 2-1 lead at halftime.

Haynes and Autumn Sawyers added one goal apiece during the second half to help the Lady Colonels to secure the three-goal win.

Whitley a county will travel to play Knox Central on Monday.
