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.
Semoball Basketball Poll (Jan. 12)
The latest state rankings are out and there are plenty of semoball schools represented, but now semoball has rankings of its own.
Each of the sports departments that contribute to semoball -- the Daily American Republic (Poplar Bluff), Daily Dunklin Democrat (Kennett), Dexter Daily Statesman, Sikeston Standard Democrat and Southeast Missourian -- voted on its top 10 boys and girls teams out of the 58 represented on semoball.
Special thanks to the Standard Democrat's David Jenkins for tallying up the results. All the records listed are through Jan. 9.
So...what do you think? How right or wrong are we? Who did we miss?
