Activity is beginning to heat up around the area, despite Mother Nature’s lack of cooperation. Time to get back into the swing of things, including stocking my Toyota Tacoma with Soccer Mom prerequisites - lawn chair, fleece blanket, sun screen, umbrella, you know the drill. I’ve got to get my camera and video camera prepped as well, so it should be a busy week.
The primary reason for renewing this activity is that the college squads are beginning their Spring exhibition schedules already. The Drury Panther Ladies played the Arkansas State Indians yesterday in Jonesboro (they lost 1-2). This Wednesday the men will play host to a pair of teams. At 5pm 4:30 pm, Division I Oral Roberts University will take the field, followed at 7:30 pm by Missouri Science & Technology (or S&T, formerly known as UMR), a member of the GLVC. Join us at Harrison Stadium for one or both of the games.
Update - Missouri State Lady Bears beat the Kansas Jayhawks 1-0 on Saturday.
We are less than two weeks away from the start of the High School Girls season. The Rolla Bulldogs host an early tournament on Friday March 21 - Saturday March 22 that includes Springfield Catholic, Columbia Hickman and Washington. The #1 ranked Kickapoo Chiefs host Bentonville (AR) on Monday March 24th. The first Ozark Conference game will follow that Wednesday when the Chiefs travel to Lebanon to face the Yellowjackets. You can follow the Ozark Conference race on Nick Schmitt’s Zizzer Soccer site all season long.
I’m working on collecting the schedules for all of the area teams, as well as the rosters. I’m already working to identify Senior All-Stars for this years game. Add Thursday June 19th to your calendar, you’ll be surprised how quickly the date will arrive. I know I always am 
Finally, my Soccer Calendar is the best way I know of to stay on top of the games in the region and on the tube. There’s even a way to download it into your calendar. If your team would like to add that capability to their website, contact me and I’d be happy to help you add it.
