Southeast Missouri football leaders list is online

A new high school football feature on SemoSportsWeb.com will list every passer, rusher and receiver with more than 100 yards in any given week among our region's 33 teams — to take a look at the updated list, click here.

We're working on the updated list of area leaders, which will be posted before Week 3 games Friday night. But at the top of two of the lists are seniors from the MAFC and upcoming Class district rivals: Kory Faulkner of Ste. Genevieve leads area passers with 512 yards, and Joey Lewondowski of Fredericktown leads rushers with 438 yards.

And on the subject of Faulkner, his status remains day-to-day this week leading up to Friday's game at Perryville. Faulkner took a hard hit on a scoring drive in the fourth quarter in Friday's loss at Valle; in fact, the hit was so hard that it left a long-lasting imprint of a Valle player's helmet on his chest. He left the game with bruised ribs, and the Dragons lost to Valle for the first time in 10 years.
