Outtakes

Stick a microphone and a camera in anyone's face and make them talk about themselves, and you're liable to get some slip-ups. The members of the Semoboall 5 boys basketball team pressed on through them, though.

In the case of Sikeston's Michael Porter, who was the final segment taped for the Semoball 5, we reviewed the videotape after the shoot. He had the luxury of having the Sikeston Field House just about all too himself, and after seeing clips of his shooting, he decided to try some dunks in a session which was captured on tape.
