CORRECTION

In last week’s edition within the Columbus volleyball coverage of Sage Thomas and Ally Tribe’s career accomplishments, Sage Thomas is incorrectly named as Thompson throughout the story. Thomas eclipsed the 4,000-assist mark this season as a consistent performer in her years as a varsity player. The Citizen would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. 10/04/2023 12:00 AM
