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 football poll: Jackson back to No. 1, Chaffee joins
This poll is voted on by reporters, radio broadcasters and football fanatics around the region.
1. JACKSON (3-1, 37 points): Jackson struggled during the first half of its win against Poplar Bluff on Friday night, but the Indians regained the top spot from Sikeston thanks to a big second half and the Bulldogs' struggles against Farmington.
2. SIKESTON (4-0, 35 points): Sikeston stayed undefeated with a 21-14 win over Farmington on Friday, but the Bulldogs, fairly or not, were expected to win by a much larger margin. They will go on the road next week to Poplar Bluff, which dropped out of the rankings for the first time.
3. CARUTHERSVILLE (3-1, 20 points): Caruthersville moves up a spot in the rankings this week after a dominating victory over Dexter. The Tigers, state semifinalists a season ago, look poised to make another deep playoff run this season.
4. CENTRAL (1-3, 13 points): Central's lopsided loss to Fort Zumwalt East resulted in it dropping a spot in the rankings this week. The Tigers won't have much time to regroup with a trip to the raucous home field of rival Jackson coming up on Friday.
5. CHAFFEE (4-0, 9 points): The Red Devils are having their best start to the season since the 60s and now they join the rankings for the first time. Chaffee won easily again on Friday night against Portageville and will host rival Scott City as a big favorite on Friday night.
