Stories from Thursday, May 7, 2020

Just tell me it’s not true As we continue looking back into the past of the fall of 2007 in Marshall County sports history, it comes with a very heavy heart, broken actually. When I started this I knew at some point during the journey there was going to be a large amount of sadness, but I didn’t expect it to come this soon. I have never been the kind of sports writer that does things from a far, I like to be in the action, getting to know the coaches, the kids, and the parents. That comes with a price, most notably when one of the young athletes suddenly passes away. My first heartbreak was DeShaun Greer, who was a 2008 graduate of Marshall County High School, a great two-sport athlete for the Tigers, and an even better young man.
