You never know what you're going to see at a cross country race.

Poplar Bluff Junior High runner Allison Huskey won her race at Jackson on Saturday but coach Beth Lewis noted that she had to out-run a dog to the finish line in our story Sunday. Allison's dad Lindell sent this photo in as proof.

Sorry for the delay in this blog and being MIA recently here on semoball.com. You can read some of my recent posts that were on darnews.com here.

I hope to blog more here at semoball.com and our new reporter Rob Tate will be joining us soon as well.

UPDATE (2:30 p.m. Tuesday)

Poplar Bluff's volleyball game with Bell City next week has been moved to Wednesday, Sept. 17 at Bell City in a varsity-only match.
