Undefeated Marion boys’ soccer nets 4 first team all-Wamac selections

The Marion Indians boys' soccer team had five players named by the Wamac Conference as first team all-conference honorees. Sophomore Jaffer Murphy leads the team with 21 goals, while freshman brother Levi Murphy has 12 scores with four assists. Junior defenders Riece Frericks and Tim Schuttloffel were also first-team selections.
