MARSHALL - Left as the lone Class AAAA team in the Southwest Conference, the Marshall school district is exploring its options to move the Marshall Tigers football team into a more suitable situation.

 

Looking for a conference with schools more comparable in size, Marshall is gathering information for a possible move to the Wright County Conference in a football-only capacity, with the rest of the school's sports staying in the Southwest Conference.

 

According to the Minnesota State High School League, Marshall High School has an enrollment of 699 students, while the rest of the seven-team Southwest Conference averages 418.5 students, with Worthington (563) serving as the second-biggest school. The other schools in the conference include: Redwood Valley (353), Jackson County Central (310), Luverne (310), Windom (247) and Pipestone (287).
