Former Hayti and Mizzou star Moore to Falcons William Moore is headed to Atlanta.

Sikeston-SCC: Wow what a game! Wednesday's game between Sikeston and Scott County Central was arguably the most hyped basketball game in southeast Missouri in recent memory -- perhaps ever. That said, the game lived up to the hype. In addition to what we have in today's paper and on our web site, I would like to add a few thoughts of my own about Wednesday's contest...

Weathering the storm Usually I write about sports, but there's not much happening in the sports world since the Bootheel is recovering from THE ice storm of the 21st century. One of my friends and colleagues asked me last night how I was doing, and I said, "Surviving." It's different being without electricity, any stores or restautants open and no gasoline -- and in my case, not staying in my own house...

Kennett grabs third seed at Bloomfield The Kennett Indians earned the No. 3 seed at the Bloomfield Christmas Tournament that was seeded over the weekend, the Tribe's highest seed at the annual tourney in recent years. Kennett likely earned the third seed on the strength of a strong performance at the Potosi Invitational -- where the Indians finished third -- and on the strength of a strong returning group...
What's the latest on the KHS football job? That is a good question. After Kirk Welch resigned as Kennett's head football coach last month, the schoolboard voted not to accept the resignation. So what does this all mean? First of all, I don't believe Welch will be returning. I'm not 100 percent sure how it will all play out, but I am 100 percent sure we will have a new football coach at Kennett next fall...
