semoball.com: Editor's Picks by Toby Carrig

Postseason honors for football
Posted Tuesday, December 9, at 8:33 PM

The all-state football teams are out this week with the coaches association squad at www.mosports.com, and the team selected by the media released Wednesday.

The Semoball Super 25 football team should be released in the next 10 days. We are working on all the second annual Semoball fall all-region teams (for sports with 10 or more schools participating: volleyball, boys and girls cross country, softball and football) this week.

And I am waiting for one coach's one set of statistics to finish out the stats for all the local schools. We will have a comprehensive list on the Web site this week.

Hooray for fall

The fall sports season has begun, meaning high school and college sports are back in the spotlight. With that in mind, Semoball.com has ramped up the coverage again with new material. The high school football page is your resource all season with previews, game stories, features, rankings and more. Among the highlights of the page are links to the Sikeston Standard Democrat's package on the 100 years of Sikeston High School football, with a feature and decade-by-decade glance...

Some new video clips of note
Posted Saturday, February 9, at 3:03 AM

Someone asked recently in a blog response whether we had video of a Calvin Williams dunk in a SEMO men's basketball game. Thanks to the folks at Southeast Missouri State's video services department, we do. I've compiled three of Williams' recent impressive baskets into a highlight reel...

Back with words from Bluff
Posted Wednesday, January 16, at 1:32 AM

Recently, we had lost access to the Web site of the Daily American Republic and were unable to post sports items from that corner of the Semoball.com coverage area. However, that has been remedied and some older items have been updated. Thus, you can catch up with the Three Rivers Raiders men's and women's teams...

Posted Wednesday, January 2, at 2:47 AM

The Semoball.com Web site had very good traffic during the Southeast Missourian Christmas Tournament, which means a large number of people checked out the blogs and videos. And more than 200 entered our first Upickem contest. Thanks for checking things out...

Two big nights of basketball
Posted Thursday, December 6, at 3:03 AM

The fall high school sports season is concluded, but there's certainly some good fall-related items that still will trickle onto the Semoball.com Web site. The all-region football team, chosen by sportswriters and sportscasters, was released bright and ealy Sunday morning...

DVDs available for Jackson fans
Posted Wednesday, October 24, at 9:58 PM

The Semoball.com Web site has compiled the video clips shown here on the left side of the home page from Jackson's 21-20 victory against Eureka on Oct. 19 into a DVD that has a bigger picture in higher resolution. I haven't tried it out on the large-screen plasma, but you can relive the highlights from the Class 5 district battle between two state-ranked teams...

Video rolls again
Posted Friday, October 19, at 4:17 AM

With the technical difficulties resolved, you can catch up on some of last week's high school football. Video from Cape Central's loss to Fort Zumwalt North has been added. It's mostly the highlights for Central fans, and the wonderful work of the Cape Girardeau Career and Technology Center gives us a great video package with the audio of KGIR-1220's Todd Bonacki...
