Iam scratching my head, this morning. Last night, the Marshall, Illinois High School Lions won their 26th consecutive basketball game, going undefeated for the regular season for the first time in the school's history! The Terre Haute Tribune-Star is the nearest daily newspaper to Marshall, IL. It's published in the bordering county, roughly 17 miles away. The adjacent scan was lifted from page 3 of this morning's sports section - less than 2 column inches. Click the image to read the entire article! Apparently, the paper didn't send anyone to the game, much less someone with a camera?
Marshall HS is a small school. This fact makes their perfect season a larger accomplishment. Also, has any HS basketball team ever traveled to Terre Haute and defeat all three (much larger) county schools in the same season??
If you are a fan of Marshall High School Basketball, don't feel slighted. The Lions have made history! Terre Haute Media has long been a mystery to me.
So, this blog officially goes on-the-record in saying CONGRATULATIONS on a JOB WELL DONE! We are very proud of you!
Good luck in the post-season.
