  Cord Sheehy would have to be one of Sikeston's guy...

  He takes the charge, boxes out ANYONE, will get on the floor, is in your face on defense and does all the role player things very well!

  Sikeston has others but when you I think of "charlie hustle" I think of a guy off the bench who is "all systems go" once their number is called! So Sheehy is the guy that I thought of right off the bat...

  I know people are probably tired of seeing him name mentioned on here but I have to go with Darrell Monroe. The kid plays hard all four quarters, on both sides of the ball. He's on the ground getting loose balls, takes charges, a rebounding machine, and just an all around hard worker. Anyone who has seen him play will tell you that.

• I would have to go with Markeith Bratcher for the Sikeston Bulldogs. Markeith brings instant energy into the game and could play a vital role in how far the Bulldogs go this year in the post season.

• If you watch Risco play you will now where they lack in talent they make up for in hustle as a team effort but if I had to pick out one I would say Austin White .

• Every Central player this year takes charges and dives for loose balls. It's a thing Coach Church really stresses. Vance definitely leaves everything out there.

• Cody Neldon (Dexter) and Adam Grantham (Kennett) certainly fit the mold!

• I would also say Austin White for Risco. He gets after it on Defense every possession, dives for loose balls, crashes offensive boards everytime a shot goes up, and he finishes at the rim.

  For NMCC I'll go with Willie Jimmerson and CJ Chism. These guys constantly hustle, run and give it their all on every single play, and never let up. CJ is a senior and has hustled and played hard his entire career. Willie is a freshman and hopefully he will keep up the intensity level he has now for the remainder of his promising career.

• Scott City: Off the Bench - Tyler Adams and Ryan Fortner.

• I agree UFO. I don't usually talk my sons up but I have to say, I am so proud of Jesse over the past 2 weeks. He has been plagued w/injury after injury. First the maniscus strain. On the advise of the trainor he sat for 2 games (against his will). Then broke his nose on the first practice back from the knee injury. He played the next day at Egyptian. Last night pulled something in his arm early and then rolled his ankle late. Through all these problems he never lost focus or the eagerness to play. He will play next Tuesday if the coach will let him I'm sure. He may not be the most athletic or the player with the most tools, but in my mind no player has more heart.

  I promise I won't brag my boys up anymore...LOL

• I dont believe you can find a kid on risco's team that doesnt hustle all the time!! But austin does have a knack for knowing where the ball is going to be! He sure gets a lot of rebounds for a 5'9 kid!
