Marshals Athletics and the Marshall County Athletics Foundation will be releasing the 2026 Marshall County Athletics Hall of Fame Inductees over the next week.
Our first inductee is Gus Gillespie.
Coach Gillespie served as head coach of the Marshals basketball program for 13 seasons. During this tenure, the Marshals were 293-119, averaging almost 23 wins per season.
In addition to winning eight district championships, He led the Marshals to five trips to the regional championship game, winning the region in 2011 and 2012. The 2011 team advanced to the quarterfinal round of the state tournament. The next season, 2012, the team set the Marshals program record for most wins in a season with 32.
Coach Gillespie was voted Purchase Coach of the Year 3 times, which is tied for second most in Boys Region 1 History. His 293 victories as a Region 1 coach is 14th on the all-time wins list for Boys Region 1 Coaches during their times as coaches in Region 1. (That just includes wins as a Region 1 coach).

With 4.5 seconds remaining, sophomore guard Lukas Pigg attacked the rim and finished through contact, knocking down the game-winning layup and free throw as the SIC Falcons beat St. Louis Community College 66–63 to stay undefeated at home.

Just for context, Dusty Blake was hired in November of 2022. I have a hard time believing that’s a coincidence.
Since 2023, Miles Mikolas boasts the second-worst ERA in MLB, worst K%, and ranks in the top 5 worst starters in FIP, BAA, and WHIP
And yet, he leads MLB in starts over that time.
Why? Sunk cost fallacy. And the #STLCards need to put an end to it

Do yourself a favor. Watch this. I have about 14 times already and it’s barely 8 AM. Excellent stuff.

GCMS Awards Day
The students below were awarded Outstanding Student of their grade and hallway.
Congratulations to all of the students who received awards today!
As an organization, you have to either develop young talent or pay for proven talent. Development has proven to be poor recently and we refuse to pay top dollar for top dollar talent. The season is going exactly how I expected it to. We made no impactful changes outside of Sonny.
For @MLBNetwork host Greg Amsinger it's not just that Jordan Walker hasn't lived up to expectations--it's the where & when of those struggles that has him frustrated...
"I want to see him fail hitting 2nd & 3rd."

Senior, Lukas Pigg signs with Southeastern Illinois College to further his basketball career.
As a Falcon, Lukas will also further his education by working towards a degree in Education. Lukas hopes to teach Physical Education along with pursuing his dream of coaching.
No using @coach_frick’s name in vain either!
Rick Pitino to @cutler18 (who’s killing it today, btw) : Mark Pope was the glue to that 1996 championship team.
Jokes that Pope would not curse. Kept saying “Frick.” Pitino got mad and said, “The Lord knows what you mean, just say it or quit.” 😂

Idea: loan Nolan Arenado to a different team for 1-2 weeks so they can fix his swing. #STLCards
At what point do we think maybe the issue is with the people in charge of developing these guys and getting them to be their best and not with the players themselves? One or two guys leaving or getting traded and being successful is one thing, but this is a growing list.

Jordan Hicks gets his shot as a starter and has a .75 ERA, going 5 and 7 innings strong
Tale as old as time for former Cardinals

Lance Berkman on his game-tying hit down to his last strike in Game 6 😟 #STLCards

There’s no part of me that understands letting Dylan Carlson go so we can hold on to Tyler O’Neill who has played less than half of the last two seasons in a row.
As the trade deadline moves closer and closer, we now have more insight into how the #STLCards will approach it (all via John Denton)
The club is becoming concerned about RHP Ryan Helsley’s history of arm injuries and his lingering unhappiness over losing his arbitration case, and will likely try to trade the former All-Star in the coming days or offseason
LHP Steven Matz could be had for the right price, although St. Louis is somewhat leery of unloading him because he is under contract for two more years at a relatively decent salary.
In terms of the outfield, the Cardinals aren’t willing to give up on Tyler O’Neill yet. Instead, they are much more likely to trade Dylan Carlson.
Despite interest for Donovan and Edman, the club is more willing to move Carlson, Burleson, or even shortstop DeJong in a potential package with Montgomery for pitching prospects
