I’m still focused on the college this week, primarily because I haven’t had a chance to work on my High School soccer calender. If you’ve got a game this week, send me a note. As of right now, my first High School game will be Tuesday September 2nd. The Logan-Rogersville Wildcats will play the Branson Pirates that day in the first game for both programs.
If you’re a Coach or would like to be, or want to learn more about the game, the annual Missouri “F” Coaching License clinic is being held at Lake Country Soccer this evening. 600 pm to 9:00 pm with the estimable Denny Vaninger providing the instruction.
Congratulations to the folks in Joplin, with the grand opening of the new Athletic Complex. The first phase brings Joplin 10 new, lighted tennis courts; four soccer fields that are able to accommodate players of all ages; and a baseball field suitable for high-school or college-level play. There also is a pro shop and concession stand with a patio and a maintenance barn.
College Home games this weekend:
Saturday Aug 30 at 5:00 pm - Drury hosts Columbia College
Saturday Aug 30 7:00 pm - Drury hosts Abeline Christian (W)
Sunday Aug 31 at 1:00 pm - MSU Women host Tulsa
The Missouri State Bears men’s team travels to Drake to open the regular season against Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the Southern Illinois Edwardsville Cougars, last seen competing against Drury in the GLVC until their decision to go D1. SIU-E University has joined the Ohio Valley Conference which does not support Men’s soccer so we may yet see the Cougars in the Missouri Valley Conference. FYI - the Cougars lost to Bradley 1-4 this weekend.
The Missouri State Bear’s Women’s team travels to SEMO for a game Friday against the Ohio Valley Conference defending champions. They return Sunday for a home game against Tulsa.
The Drury Panthers Men face off against Oral Roberts University this evening while the Women travel to Texas A&M - Commerce for an official game on Thursday. Both return for their first regular season home games on Saturday (see above).
The Southwest Baptist Bearcats open the regular season at Oakland City University in Indiana on Thursday. They don’t play at home until September 20th although there will be road games at Rolla (9/2) and Joplin (MSSU on 9/13).
The Missouri Southern Lions travel to Tahlequah, OK this weekend. They will face Texas A&M on Friday and Truman State on Sunday. The Women are at Harding on Sunday.
The Missouri S&T Miners travel to Ashland and Tiffin (OH) for games Friday and Sunday. The Men and Women will play before they return home for games Wednesday September 3rd.
