Rock Bridge makes Owls 14th 9-0 victim
(High School Sports ~ 04/26/02)
COLUMBIA -- If Marshall head boys' tennis coach Susan Carney felt Tuesday's 5-4 loss to Warrensburg was a case where her team "let one get away," there was no such frustration following Thursday's 9-0 shutout at the hands of host Rock Bridge.

(High School Sports ~ 04/26/02)
There are days when even a good-hitting team doesn't exactly smack the baseball around the park.

However, the Owls have other weapons -- such as speed, which they displayed by stealing 14 bases during a 9-2 victory...

Marshall duffers blister Columbia course (High School Sports ~ 04/26/02)
COLUMBIA -- Apparently, Tuesday's 174 shot during a dual home match with Warrensburg was merely a momentary setback for the Marshall boys' golf team. The Owls regrouped nicely Thursday by firing a 154, their lowest nine-hole score in three years, to give host Rock Bridge (5-1) its first dual loss of the season -- by three strokes at par-35 L.A.

Lady 'Hounds go down fighting against Santa Fe (High School Sports ~ 04/26/02)
ALMA -- The word around the dugout of the Sweet Springs softball team Thursday was "F-U-N." That may have seemed strange with the winless Lady Greyhounds facing undefeated Santa Fe. However, rather than being scared, it was Sweet Springs that made matters uncomfortable -- if only for a brief period -- for the potent Lady Chiefs during a 10-4 loss... -
'Cats fall short against St. Paul (High School Sports ~ 04/26/02)
SLATER -- Thursday's tilt between Slater and visiting St. Paul was a tale of missed opportunities. Although the two teams combined for 25 hits and got 20 more players on base with walks and hit batters, they stranded 23 runners. The Saints, while slightly less efficient -- leaving 13 on base and having two more wiped out on double plays -- held on for a 10-8 decision... -
