Vikings improve depth and height
(11/06/09)Basketball is one endeavor where size does matter, both in the number of quality players available and in their physical packages. "Our depth was a big issue, and size," in the Missouri Valley College men's team's 11-17 showing in 2009, according to head coach Chad Lance. "Most important was consistent perimeter shooting, which I think our depth and size this year will improve."...

MHS swimming: Nichols wins, sets new MHS record
(11/03/09)SPRINGFIELD -- The Marshall boys' swim team had a line-up geared to add state qualifiers more than tally team points Saturday at the Springfield Invitational. That's why, for the first time this season, the Owls' three all-staters were all entered in the same individual events -- not just once, but twice. To some degree it worked, too, as senior Khris Ward (57.02 seconds) and junior Brock Musick (57.83) added the 100-yard butterfly to their state event list...

MHS soccer: Owls move on to semifinal round
(11/02/09) BOONVILLE -- Kirksville held the high-scoring Marshall boys' soccer team in check for a while, but couldn't prevent the Owls from taking a 2-0 decision in the first round of the Class 2, District 7 Tournament. The artificial surface at Boonville, to where Saturday's matches were moved due to wet conditions at Moberly, didn't appear to help the Birds -- who went in averaging 4.36 goals per match. Marshall had only a 2-1 advantage over the Tigers (10-14) in shots on goal during the first half...

For Marshall's 16 upperclassmen, it may have taken some of the sting out of a third straight losing season...

MHS soccer: Owls capture first NCMC title
(10/30/09)It took 14 years, but the Marshall boys' soccer program claimed its first NCMC championship Thursday with a 4-0 home win over Hannibal. The only blemish on that accomplishment is that the Owls will have to share the crown with Moberly -- which won three one-point matches against them, two in league play.
