Marion tests Solon before falling
For the Marion High School volleyball team Thursday night against Independence, the third time was the charm.
They weren't so lucky, though, for the fourth time this season with mighty Solon.
Playing on their home court in the eight-team championship bracket of the Wamac Conference tournament, the spirited Indians split two matches.
After losing twice this year in tie-breaking sets to Independence, they finally beat them, 25-19, 25-16. The Class 4A third-ranked Spartans of Solon knocked them off once again, however, but only by scores of 25-22, 25-22.
