last run for turkey run

2008 was the beginning of a great run for the Lady Warriors of Turkey Run High School.  You see, 2008 was the first of four Sectional titles in a row, which led to back to back Regional crowns (2010, 2011) and to top things off, a trip to the 1A State Championship game (2011).  Ultimately they would lose that game to Vincennes Rivet, 49-40, but that's not the saddest part of this story.  Since that championship season the Lady Warriors have hit hard times (21-107) and this season (0-11 at the time of this post) things don't seem much better.  The night we visited the beautiful old gym the Warriors were taking on a good Attica Red Rambler team and they played hard, scrapping all the way to the final buzzer, but in the end it was another tough loss.  It's hard enough to carry around a losing season on your shoulders, it's even harder when you know it will be the last season;  for next year will bring about school consolidation with regional rival Rockville.  From what we understand the Turkey Run gym will still serve as home court for the new school's varsity teams but sadly, the story of the Lady Warriors of Turkey Run is coming to an end.   © Chris Smith
