Highlights from Rachel's days in college include having a class down the hall from Chase Daniel and having NCAA wrestling champion Ben Askren hold the door open for her at Brady Commons, Mizzou's student center. She spent time covering Mizzou basketball, softball and baseball while working for the Columbia Missourian and is excited to return home to Southeast Missouri to cover local sports for semoball.com.
Rachel has covered three Southeast Missourian Christmas Tournaments for the Southeast Missourian and semoball.com, and she'll see you courtside again this year.
Summertime improvements for semoball
With the high school sports schedule wrapped up, our attention at semoball has turned to making some changes and improvements throughout the site. Some of them have been implemented already and some will be added later.
One project that is already underway is an update of the high school pages. Previously, the fan-submitted photos and stories and the news stories were separated on the pages, meaning older submissions were often featured at the top of the page while newer stories were buried below. We have now combined the submitted items and the news stories into one feed, so the latest news/submission will also be at the top of the page.
The bigger news here is that we've created an archive page for each school to hundreds of older stories published on semoball or a sister website. You can now click "Click here to see more stories" at the bottom of the page to see, in many cases, stories dating back years. This fixes the problem of only being able to see the latest 10 stories on the high school pages.
That's all for now, but I'll keep you up to date throughout the summer when we make changes. I think you all are going to like some of the new things we have in store -- semoball is only going to get better and better.
If you have any thoughts or comments on this or any other changes/features on semoball, leave a comment below. I'd love to hear your feedback.
