Chiefs, Lady 'Cats third in district
(05/05/08)Ana Jackson is a very fast young lady.

Owls cruise in home finale
(05/02/08)Marshall head baseball coach Ian Verts used the occasion of Senior Night to start all eight of his upperclassmen Thursday.

(04/30/08)The Marshall girls' soccer team may be challenged offensively when the ball is in play, but it sure knows how to find the net when the clock isn't running.
