Here are the top 3 stories today in Marietta:

1. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be replacing the entire Post Street wall along the river trail bike path in Marietta. The wall was built to replace a structure that served as the property line between the Corps of Engineers and the bike path. The repairs are being done as the wall is over 100 years old has dipped down over time. (Marietta Times)
2. Marietta College's women's basketball team held off Mount Union in a 70-67 victory. The game came down to a single possession in which Emma Cannon scored the game-sealing free throw. The victory brings Marietta colleges record to 13-1 on the season. (Marietta Times)
3. Students at Marietta College had their first day of Spring semester classes yesterday. The college's COVID-19 guidelines require students and staff to wear masks indoors. However, they are not required to wear one outside. The college is looking to keep COVID-19 cases low this semester as they have in previous ones, as the school had roughly 240 total cases during the 2020/2021 semester. (WTAP)
