Thursday, March 14th, the Lady Marshals will play Letcher County Central at 6:30 in their first game of the 2013 KHSAA Sweet 16 at Western Kentucky University's Diddle Arena.

MURRAY - You have to go back 10 years to find a girl's Region 1 Championship game that didn't involve either Marshall County or Murray High. Since 2004, Marshall County has six of those titles, including Tuesday nights win over Murray to claim back-to-back Region 1 Championships.

MURRAY - Marshall County's Lady Marshals showed up in a big way in their Region 1 semi-final game Monday against Paducah Tilghman, after losing both regular season games to the Lady Tornados and top Region 1 player Chelsey Shumpert. The Lady Marshals led from the opening tip to the closing horn for the 64-47 win and spot in the championship game Tuesday at 7:00.

MURRAY - Region 1 Tournament action for the girls continues Monday night at the CFSB Center with semi-final round games between Graves County and Murray at 6:00 and Marshall County taking on Paducah Tilghman at 7:45.

MURRAY - Thursday night's first round Region 1 Tournament game at Murray State's Racer Arena for the Lady Marshals started on a 7-0 run over Carlisle County but by the time the second quarter started, the Lady Comets had tied the game at 11-11. From that point on it was all Marshall County, out-scoring Carlisle County 41-5 for the 52-16 first round win.

MURRAY - After 13 straight wins and a record of 26-4, the Marshals seemed to be on course for their 4th consecutive 4th District title and three-peat Region 1 championship, but the Lakers and Eagles took the wind right out of their sails, first with the District Championship loss to Calloway and finally their first round Region 1 Tournament loss to Graves County Tuesday night at the CFSB Center in Murray.
