Semoball Cup
Brian Rosener is the keeper of the Semoball Cup which is presented to the school with the most successful season. It is based on a formula that takes into account the combined winning percentage of all sports teams plus bonus points for advancement in postseason play for both teams and individuals. The bonus points are divided by the number of teams a school fields. Rosener has been the sports editor for the Daily American Republic in Poplar Bluff, Mo. since December 2001. He was born and raised in St. Louis, where he attended Lindbergh High School and Webster University. He is married to Jennifer, a Poplar Bluff native, has a son Jack and a dog named Satchel who stands in for his @semoballBrian photo.
On vacation
Posted Tuesday, June 8, 2010, at 1:17 PM
I'm taking a break from work for awhile and will be in and out of the office for the rest of this month.
Alex Abate and Rob Tate will continue our summer series "Catching Up With..." that updates a story of area people each Tuesday and Thursday in the DAR. This week, Alex started with Asa Wyatt, a former Mules quarterback who now throws javelin at Mizzou. If you'd like to nominate somebody from the Poplar Bluff area, contact us at sports@darnews.com.
In the meantime, I'll be spending time with the family and enjoying sports for a change, including golf (that's a photo I took of somebody else playing while I was on vacation last summer in San Francisco).
