Brian Rosener is the keeper of the Semoball Cup which is presented to the school with the most successful season. It is based on a formula that takes into account the combined winning percentage of all sports teams plus bonus points for advancement in postseason play for both teams and individuals. The bonus points are divided by the number of teams a school fields. Rosener has been the sports editor for the Daily American Republic in Poplar Bluff, Mo. since December 2001. He was born and raised in St. Louis, where he attended Lindbergh High School and Webster University. He is married to Jennifer, a Poplar Bluff native, has a son Jack and a dog named Satchel who stands in for his @semoballBrian photo.

The Sho-Me Marching Band

For those who were not able to attend Friday's game at Morrow Stadium, here's the new scoreboard. There were few miscues with the sound and the ref's mic didn't work, but the lights didn't go out like the old one and Tom Hoover (PA) could be heard in Greenville. Of course, when Mr. Hoover played in high school, back when basketball was basketball, they didn't have scoreboards. They used an abacus to keep score and a sun dial to keep time. (That's my best Mr. Hoover impression.)

It's been a long day.

Hey, really appreciate the pictures of the new scoreboard! Hope you can put up more of them for those of us who now live away from the old homestead.
