CHARLESTON — While her name might now show up in the box score from Wednesday’s Class AAA state tournament quarterfinal win over Ripley doesn’t mean North Marion senior Jessica Parsons is forgotten.
She’s there on the bench, though not by choice, the same place she’s been since injuring her knee against rival Fairmont Senior which ended her season. She uses crutches to get around until the injury is fully healed.
Her familiar number 11 is emblazoned on the various shirts friends, family, teammates and students sport all over Charleston this week.
“We’ve got her right here,” senior Kaitlyn Antolock said, tapping the No. 11 inside a heart on Mariah Byard’s t-shirt.
