Friday Nights Are Coming: Herrin Football, Carterville Volleyball, Marion Soccer All on the Slate
A quick look around the county as fall prep season gears up
By Buddy "Friday Night" Cobb, Williamson County Bureau
MARION — Fall sports are stirring across the county, and there's plenty on the schedule to keep an eye on.
The Herrin Tigers football team is set to take on the Prairie Central Hawks, according to a matchup preview from MaxPreps. Over in Carterville, the Lakers volleyball program has its schedule posted and ready for the new season, per MaxPreps. And the Marion Wildcats boys soccer team has a road trip lined up against Massac County, also per MaxPreps.
Details on dates, times, and records weren't part of the initial listings, but the shape of the fall is already clear: pigskin in Herrin, volleyball in Carterville, and the Wildcats hitting the road early. This desk will have full coverage as the season kicks off — box scores, rosters, and the stories behind them, same as every year.
