RACHEL — Kaitlyn Antolock, Kelsi Wright and Jessica Parsons each had visions of continuing their basketball careers at the collegiate level. The North Marion trio, though, never gave much thought to playing together.
However, it became a reality Monday as the three — yes, all three — signed to play for Division II Fairmont State University.
