It wasn’t a thing of beauty, but the Missouri Valley College football team overcame some mental mistakes, won the turnover battle and defeated visiting Peru State 16-6 in the season opener at Volney C. Ashford Stadium on Gregg-Mitchell Field in Marshall Saturday.
Marshall split the six tennis matches played at Smith-Cotton but won the dual match 6-3 due to the Lady Tigers only having four players Friday in Sedalia. Playing Pro-8, no-ad matches, Marshall juniors Alizah Russell and Bailey Kueker won their singles matches 8-0 at Nos. 3 and 4. Russell and Kueker also teamed up to win their doubles match 8-0.

Ian Verts is excited to get the high school football season under way. Verts is the new head coach of the Marshall Owls, who travel to take on the Chillicothe Hornets Friday, Aug. 26. Verts says the Owls came out of last Friday night’s jamboree at California High School unscathed. They are healthy and ready to go. “I just want to make sure the guys are prepared, and we can give them the confidence to perform at their best,” Verts said. “I want the kids to enjoy the experience and be competitive.”
