  • Vogel, Zehnder make college...

    Collins senior Shelby Vogel signed to play women’s soccer for Georgetown College last Thursday in the high school’s library.

    Vogel was the most valuable player for the Titans last season. The midfielder led Collins in scoring and helped them to a 17-3-1 record last fall.

    “I’m really excited about the next chapter in my life,” she said. “Soccer wasn’t the only thing I was looking for, I just happened to love Georgetown’s coach and team. It worked out really well, it had everything I wanted.”

  • Titans fall into too deep a hole

    Come-from-behind victories have been commonplace so far this season for the Collins softball team.
