Versailles graduate takes over as Marion Local volleyball coach
By Gary R. Rasberry
Megan Campbell doesn't graduate from college until May, but she is already taking over one of the most dominant volleyball programs in the state of Ohio.
Campbell was formally hired as head coach at Marion Local on Monday night during the district's board of education meeting. She will also teach math at the high school. Campbell takes over for Amy Steininger, who stepped down in January after 258 wins and five state titles in 11 seasons. [More]
