Marshall County volleyball celebrated Senior Night on Tuesday with a win over Hickman County. The Lady Marshals swept the Lady Falcons winning the JV match 2-0 (22-20, 21-15) and the Varsity match 3-0 (25-22, 25-15, 25-18).

Three seniors were recognized before the Varsity match – Jessica Hicks, Natalie Boward and Jayln Bedwell.

“This was a great game to end the seniors’ home play”, Coach Laura Kinder said. “Jessica, Natalie, and Jalyn have worked so hard and have shown great dedication to this team, and they will be missed dearly. We are playing well right now and we are optimistic as we enter the post-season.”
