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.
