Marshall swimmers clash with tough field at Columbia meet
(06/25/09)COLUMBIA -- Three all-staters from Marshall High boys' team found themselves in deep water over the weekend at the Columbia Swim Club Summer Invitational.

Lady Owls logging court time
(06/23/09)The Marshall girls' basketball team is working hard to avoid a repeat of last year's cruel 1-24 campaign. The Lady Owls were put in an unfortunate position during the 2009 season.

In its lone district game, Marshall was starting two juniors who had played little the previous year, a sophomore and a pair of freshmen... 
Marshall's Bartel puts in extra work
(06/23/09)COLUMBIA -- She's a little older than most of her Marshall High softball teammates, so senior Tara Bartel isn't always part of the group when it comes to summer ball.

However, that doesn't mean she's sitting by idly...
