Rumbaugh's goal stands up as KC wraps up 7th consecutive crown
CLARION — A 1-0 lead in soccer often seems tenuous, but it never seemed that way for Karns City’s girls team against Brookville.
The Gremlins controlled play for the vast majority of Tuesday’s District 9 Class AA championship game and that dominant effort allowed Olivia Rumbaugh’s goal in the 23rd minute of play to hold up at Clarion University’s Memorial Stadium.
“You’d always like to score more than one, just for more leverage,” said KC coach Tracy Dailey, “but sometimes one goal is all it takes and that was the case tonight.”
The victory was KC’s seventh straight district title and 21st crown in 24 seasons.
The Gremlins will open play in the state playoffs Tuesday against the runner-up from District 10.
