MA jr. high squads break with 4-6, 15-0 records The Marshall Academy junior high Lady Patriots began the 2009-10 season with a lot of question marks. With four freshmen moving up to high school this year and only two starters returning from last year’s district runner-up team, the Lady Patriots would need to replace their leading ball-handler and scorers. Marshall soccer builds excitement Marshall Academy soccer teams had some fun on a cold Saturday, Dec. 12. The boys squad scrimmaged the Lady Patriots, who were joined by a couple of former players, coach Lance McGregor and some guys who helped him coach this season. “In the first half I felt like the guys did a lot better job on the offensive end and pushed the ball down on several occasions and had some nice looks on goal but could never connect,” McGregor said. |
