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 (Feb. 23)
Looky, looky who got a first-place vote this week. I guess one staff was swayed by last week's extensive discussion about the Sikeston boys. While the Bulldogs are still ranked behind Scott County Central, they earned their first first-place vote since January 12th after finishing their regular season with a 24-0 record.
The records listed below are through Sunday. This will be the final poll of the regular-season.
Boys
School First-place votes Record Total Points
Scott County Central 3 21-2 39
Sikeston 1 24-0 37
Charleston 0 18-5 32
Cape Central 0 18-5 27
Kennett 0 20-4 25
Caruthersville 0 18-5 18
Jackson 0 13-11 14
Bernie 0 20-4 10
Twin Rivers 0 17-6 7
Portageville 0 14-7 6
Others receiving votes: Advance 2, Dexter 2, Oak Ridge 1.
Girls
School First-place votes Record Total Points
Poplar Bluff 4 19-6 40
Dexter 0 16-9 33
Kennett 0 24-2 29
Meadow Heights 0 19-3 27
Notre Dame 0 15-9 26
Neelyville 0 19-3 22
Jackson 0 17-6 19
Sikeston 0 16-7 11
St. Vincent 0 16-5 9
Scott City 0 18-4 3
Others receiving votes: Twin Rivers 1.
How the rankings are determined:
The sports staff at each of the newspapers that contribute to semoball are given a vote -- that includes the Daily American Republic (Poplar Bluff), Daily Dunklin Democrat (Kennett), Dexter Daily Statesman, Sikeston Standard Democrat and Southeast Missourian. Each staff is free to determine how they want to complete its ballot, but there are 12 total people that cover sports for those papers all across the semoball coverage area.
David Jenkins of the Standard Democrat tallies to the votes. A first-place vote is worth ten points, a second-place vote is worth nine points and so on.
