Cary-Grove’s Marszal carved out excellence Jun 8, 2013 12:00 AM
If Cary-Grove athletics had its own Mt. Rushmore, the sculptor would be sharpening his chisel and studying a photo of Zach Marszal’s face right about now. Several premier athletes have passed through Cary-Grove, particularly in the past 15 years as the football program developed into a state power. Names like Kevin Kaplan, Brian Mitz, Alex Kube, Andrew Lorman, Eric Chandler, Alex Hembrey, Chad McCarron and Kyle Norberg are forever emblazoned in the memories of Trojan fans and foes alike. While each of those special athletes added to the Cary-Grove athletic legacy in his own way, none was more respected within the building on Three Oaks Rd. itself than Marszal, a 6-foot, 182-pound recent graduate named Cary-Grove Male Athlete of the Year for a second straight year. Marszal has been selected the Daily Herald's male athlete of the year for the Fox Valley.
