Blalocks advance; No news on soccer

Posted Sunday, October 28, 2007, at 9:57 AM

Poplar Bluff cross country runners Travis and Hannah Blalock advanced to the state meet Saturday, but I didn't get word from soccer coach Mark Papp on how they did in their district game.

Hannah finished third in the MSHSAA Class 3 District 1 race with a time of 19:57 while Jasmin Sumrall was 19th at 21:38. Travis finished ninth in 17:04.

If the soccer team did win, they play Cape Central at 5:30 p.m. Monday.

We'll start counting down the district football game between Poplar Bluff and West Plains on Monday.
