Stories from Wednesday, May 25, 2016

Tamera Duncan, a transfer to Marshall County High School from Forrest prior to her senior year became the latest Marshall County student athlete to sign a college scholarship on Wednesday, albeit one from a sport that doesn't get too much publicity- cheerleading. "I just kind of applied and put on my application that I cheered," Duncan said. "I saw that (Martin Methodist) was on the Tennessee Promise list and I wanted to go to a four-year college with a good criminal justice program. So when I got the call I kind of went 'yay!' because I didn't think that I would cheer after high school."

The second player from the record breaking 2015 girls soccer team signed on to continue her career in college when Yesenia Eguia committed to Martin Methodist on Wednesday. The senior defender was instrumental in leading the Tigerettes to a school best 10-game winning streak to start the season and 13 regular season wins before falling to Spring Hill in the district tournament.
