Lot’s of catching up to do, including the Drury Lady Panthers 1st round win which sends them to the GLVC Final Four next weekend at SIU-Edwardsville. I got a lot of photos uploaded this weekend, including a pair of Drury Lady Panther games, the men’s game against Northern Kentucky, a pair of MSU Lady Bears games, the men’s game against Bradley, Southwest Baptist’s loss to Washburn Saturday and Thompson Fall Classic photos of the U17 Mamba girls, U17 Total girls and U18 Springfield SC girls.
But first some basics…
Class 3 District playoffs begin this evening in Joplin and Waynesville.
Class 2 District playoffs are down to the final four in Bolivar this evening.
Middle School Final tonight at Cooper.
Class 1 District playoffs are also down to the final four, a pair of games at Cooper tomorrow. The Springfield Catholic website has the details.
Tuesday is when Class 3 District 10 resumes. The Camdenton Lakers were beaten 1-0 by Smith-Cotton so their season has ended. The Semifinals will feature Rock Bridge vs Hickman and Smith Cotton vs Helias.
Wednesday there will be a non-conference game between the MSU Bears and the UM-KC Kangaroos. The Bears were shut out by Creighton, 0-1, on Saturday night in Omaha.
Saturday Missouri State will host a Conference game, against the Evansville Aces. 7:00 pm at Plaster Stadium.
The Lady Bears will be in Des Moines on Sunday, playing #4 Drake in the first round of the Missouri Valley Conference playoffs. The #5 Bears had a difficult weekend, outplaying #1 Illinois State in a 0-0 tie on Friday and then somehow, inexplicably losing to Indiana State 0-2 on Sunday. It was Indiana States only Conference win this season and took the Bears from battling for #1 in the Conference to #5.
The Southwest Lady Bearcats are headed for Warrensburg on Saturday. They are ranked 4th and will play #1 Central Missouri in the inaugural MIAA Tournament.
My tentative schedule for the week is Class 2 Bolivar tonight, Class 1 at Cooper on Tuesday, MSU no Wednesday and the District 11 final on Thursday. Need to head home to St Louis again to help out my parents so I’ll go there from Waynesville and be in a position to cover the Drury Lady Panthers semifinal game against Quincy on Friday evening as well as SIU-Edwardsville vs UMSL. Back next week for Sectionals 
In-between all of this activity and reporting, I’ll try and get you up-to-date on the college players as their seasons are wrapping up across the continent. I’ve received a lot of pointers from interested fans. Feel free to make certain I’m aware of what your favorite player has been achieving on their new home pitch. I also have the initial Statistical Report I’ve been collecting from the Coaches as well as wrapping up the nominations for the Senior All-Star game. Ask your coach if he’s responded to my request for nominations and reports.
