FINISHING STRONG: Colonels win third in a row with 1-0 victory over Russell County 

Whitley County won its season-best third game in a row on Monday, defeating Russell County, 1-0.

The Colonels (9-7, 9-3) are playing some of their best soccer with postseason play beginning next week.

Whitley County was locked in a defensive battle with the Lakers as Johnny Parra’s penalty kick during the 64th minute turned out to be the only scoring in the game.

The Colonels will attempt to finish regular season play with two more wins as home contests against Middlesboro and Somerset Christian await this week.
