One of the things I really like about this shootout is the matching of talent. Sikeston plays Charleston, Maplewood, Liberty, Jackson-Southside, TN, and Dyer County. All of those could be interesting games.

Maplewood Richmond-Heights is not playing. Sikeston is scheduled to play them first today, but they will be matched with someone else.

Know they beat dyer county, lost to jackson tn southside and lost in sudden death to charleston.

Bernie went 7-1 at the Rib City Shootout losing to Liberty. They also won the Championship of their Bracket.

Should make sikeston fans appreciate Holifield more. They haven't practiced so they were just playing. Bad misconception is that they are so talented and in reality have very average players. I bet we will see a different score come season. We have always thought coach Holifield gets the most out of his players, now Jackson south side has "pure" talent!!!! D 1 players for sure.

Great shootout at Dexter. Sikeston learned a lot about its team and players. There is still a lot of summer ball left for them. I'm very excited to see the development of this team going forward. There will be growing pains as this will be Sikeston's youngest most inexperienced team in years. But there is potential to be a very good team as well. Props to the Sikeston JV team for going undefeated including beating some varsity teams and props to the Sikeston freshmen which also had some 7th and 8th graders taking down JV teams, including beating Caruthersville JV in OT.

Yes he played. All but one of the players was there on Friday. About three or four were missing on Saturday for various reasons. So the attendance was strong.

I don't know if I'd say this will be Sikeston's best shooting team. They will be streaky. There will be moments when they shoot it very well and then other moments when they don't. But if they keep working hard and getting in that gym like they always do, then this will no doubt improve their consistency. But I'm not sure they'll be a better shooting team than they've had the past couple years.

I only saw NMCC play a couple times. They beat Oak Ridge and Twin Rivers the games I saw. One of them Jimmerson got red hot and hit about three or four 3's in a row to pull away in a close game. He's going to be a good one.

Its Summerball, I would not put to much stock in to how teams play now compared to the actual season. Its a long time away from now til the season starts. I will agree with you about Kennett though, should be a great team next year. Cville will have a new coach so there really is no telling how good or bad they will be just yet. There main focus now is on football

I heard Monroe was moving to Texas, then I see him pictured playing in the Rib City Shootout. Just rumor or is a move pending?

Kennett wasnt listed in the original schedule, but I see above Kennett is mentioned a few times but does not list who they played and how they fared against their opponents...input please, anyone?

I hear that Monroe is moving, but not to Dyer Co. Tennessee or Anywhere Texas, but to Sikeston. I know that rumors are everywhere, but I hear his mom already has a job in Sikeston, but is looking for a place to live.

I also hear another player from Charleston is being asked to move to Kennett to join an already talented team.

When did high school basketball become such an important business that parents move their kids to get their kids on top teams. I will tell you this if Monroe moves to Sikeston their football team becomes an automatic playoff contender. If the other kid from Charleston moves to join one of his teammates who already transfered to Kennett they become the Class 4 favorite in District 1 (unless Sikeston gets Monroe)

What a fun bunch of events to look forward to over the next couple of weeks!

I'll believe it when I see it.

Even if he did move locally he would not be able to play to in any games I remember a kid moved to SHS during the summer because his mom passed away and he still was deemed ineligle so unless Monroe had a dyer circumstance he couldnt play till his senior year.

stlfan38:

i believe they can play if they move into a new district. happens all the time.

If it is between years and a family moves from one town to another, they play immediately. See Cal Lane for example.

If your family moves to a different town, you are eligible to play at that school that year. They have to show that you moved for purely athletic reasons for you NOT to be able to play.
