Tonight I covered a Festus Football game and was witness to a great one man show. Festus’ Shawn Crump was on. Scored three on the ground by himself and threw for three more. Festus easily defeated Duchesne High school 42-6.

Thursday night saw me back inside the gym, and thankfully so since the rain was back today. Fox and Seckman put on one heck of a show on the court tonight Fox won the first game, Seckman came back strong and won the second, and then the Lady Warriors battled back from a 4 point deficit to come from behind and win the final match in dramatic fashion and take the win.

Wednesday saw me once again at Jefferson College, but this time I was on the soccer field to watch the 8-0 Vikings take on the 8-1-1 Magic of ST. Louis CC. The Vikings started fast and kept the pressure up to take a 7-0 win.

Today I was on the softball fields, expecting all afternoon for the rains that had pounded the area the night before to come back again. Fortunately they stayed away and they got all the innings in. Well all of them that Hillsboro needed to put away Festus. Hillsboro won 13-4 and kept up their fantastic season.

I was up early on Saturday morning headed over to cover the Bowles invitational. Festus Boys and Girls Varsity runners were able to run away from the competition and took first in team on both sides.

Cole Allison leads the pack.

After a week off, I was greeted with a night under the lights on the football field. And what a night it was, I was fortunate enough to witness one of the best games of the year bar none. De Soto visited Seckman with both teams looking to add another W in the won-loss column. De Soto took an early lead and Seckman battled back to tie the game and send it into overtime, where De Soto was able to stop Seckman on their drive in the first overtime, and the Jay Algiere De Soto’s QB scrambled to his right and made it into the end zone to win the game.

Tonight the Seckman Jaguars visited the Festus Tigers for some High School soccer action. Seckman was able to get the scoring going early and really didn’t stop. Finishing off the tigers for a 7-0 win. I don’t shoot much soccer and I’m always surprised at just how physical the game came be at times.

Tonight the Fox Warriors invaded the home of the Windsor Owls for week two of the High School Football season. Fox lit up the score board early and often on route to a 55-14 win over the Owls.
