Saturday's Cape Rock swim event was one of new records, new ways to honor a legacy, and, most importantly, a new venue. Cape Central swimming coach Dayna Powell was pleasantly caught by surprise when MSHSAA presented her with the 2023-24 Girls Swim & Dive MSHSAA Coach of the Year Award. Powell led the Lady Tigers to their first-ever Class 1 state championship after three previous years in the top four...

It took three weeks for Hayti head coach Dominique Robinson to not just get his first win since returning to the Indians but his first signature win as well. Isaiah Love scored a total of three touchdowns to lead the Indians to a 32-20 upset win over the Scott City Rams on Friday, Sept. 13, in Scott City, Mo...

The Farmington Knights spoiled the Poplar Bluff football Mules' homecoming with a 36-33 victory at Mules Stadium Friday night in an entertaining, back-and-forth game. “The kids kept fighting and we’re making improvements, but we’re not where we want to be yet,” said Mules head coach Jeff Mannon. “We’re not good enough of a football team to make that many mistakes in the game and come out with the win.”...

DEXTER – New Madrid County Central High School football coach Tyler Fullhart has spent his entire life watching, playing, and coaching football throughout Southeast Missouri, and he has seen a lot of teams from Dexter High School compete.

The Dexter High School boys’ and girl’s cross country runners certainly enjoyed competing at their own invitational recently.

I have lived all over America and have been around a handful of college towns and universities, from those I attended, the football games I covered, or those my family has been involved in. I had never seen a university president so beloved by the students before I started covering Southeast Missouri State athletics...

Every week this season, a new offensive hero emerges for Southeast Missouri State. First, it was freshman running back Peyton Brown, and then it was senior wide receiver Dorian Anderson. Most recently, it was Mitchell Sellers, who hauled in 60 yards and three touchdowns in a 45-42 double overtime win over UT Martin after being held without a reception through the first three quarters...

The Dexter High School football defensive unit probably won’t shut out every one of its opponents this fall, but so far it has.

When newly-hired Three Rivers College assistant women's basketball coach Jentri Worley was asked what she wanted to accomplish at TRC, her answer was short — but spoke volumes. “I want to win a national championship,” Worley said. Worley is the second assistant coach to join the Lady Raiders' bench ahead of the 2024-25, as she will coach alongside Tyrie Thomas and head coach Alex Wiggs...

In a year where family has been a central theme for the Poplar Bluff High School football team, it should come as no surprise to see more than one set of cousins playing key roles for the Mules. Hunter and Colt Clifford are one of of two pairs of cousins to see significant playing time for Poplar Bluff — center Kade Busse and quarterback Jay Edmundson are the others — with Colt Clifford (sophomore) starting at safety for the Mules and senior Hunter Clifford playing slot receiver...
