High School Sports: Spring sports takeover sports schedules
With our Winter sports state finalists finishing their postseason runs last week, it's time for a seasonal shift. Spring sports are ready for the spotlight with loads of action before spring break.
Fans can watch a baseball or softball game every day. North Marion and Forest's Thursday night game has two of the strongest arms in Marion County ready to secure a win. Boys volleyball joins the party with games starting Monday night.
Can't make a game? No problem. Visit this page every day for updates on your favorite teams and sports. We'll track down all the action so you don't have to.
