Otto Porter's impressive season endsPosted Sunday, March 18, at 4:01 PM He had a shot to tie it with about 13 seconds left. He got an OK look, not great, but OK. It's a shot I've seen him make many times. But Otto Porter's attempt to tie Georgetown's NCAA tournament game against N.C. State missed, and the Wolfpack held on to oust the Hoyas from the tournament and keep them from a trip to St. Louis for the Sweet 16. He passed on a 3-pointer just moments before, and here's what his coach, John Thompson III, said about the sequence...
VIDEO: Southeast Missouri represented well at final four After watching Scott County Central and Charleston reach their respective state title games, I was struck by the defense both teams play, and the role that strong defense played in their victories.

WaPo columnist's interesting take on Otto Porter Jason Reid of the Washington Post wrote a pretty flattering column about Scott County Central grad and current Georgetown freshman standout Otto Porter. I think Reid covered a lot of ground that those in Southeast Missouri have known for a while, namely that Porter is a team-oriented player whose fundamentals are incredibly sound. I remember watching Porter take shot after shot in practice at SCC, and his shot was so fluid. It was a thing of beauty...
3-pointers and the Southeast Missouri Christmas tournament The Southeast Missourian Christmas tournament will test the range of shooters a little more this year. That's because there are no plans to tape a high school 3-point line on the Show Me Center floor for the annual boys basketball tournament. The NCAA moved the 3-point line for women's games to 20 feet, 9 inches this season after it had been 19-9, the same as high school. ...
It hurts now: Pujols to become an Angel It's a punch to the gut reading the headlines: Pujols agrees to terms with Angels. You never want to see your team's best player ditch your team for somewhere else, especially after you've supported him, cheered him and watched him help your team win a pair of World Series, mostly recently less than two months ago. It's like a slap to the face...

Phil Matier and Andrew Ross reported that Seyer and Zito plan to marry in a private ceremony in California. Here's the Huffington Post's story on this weekend's wedding...
Notre Dame softball team finds a way to win The Notre Dame softball team sits two wins away from its fifth consecutive trip to the Class 3 final four.

It was interesting to see the team switch its strategy and still come out with the win...
Jackson's 2-point conversion attempt Jackson went with an interesting choice for its 2-point conversion in the final minute of Friday's game against rival Central. The Indians had pulled to 14-12 with 32.6 seconds left in the game. They came out of a timeout in the swinging gate formation, with all the players lined up to the far left, with the exception of the center and backup quarterback Ty Selsor. ...

St. Vincent girls soccer team put up a whale of a fight The Class 1 girls soccer state championship game was played at a level expected when a state title is on the line. St. Vincent and Springfield Catholic slugged it out in the first half, and I thought the Indians did a better job of creating chances as the half wore on. They were moving the ball well. They were making passes to open teammates and established a flow...
