Updates on Bell City basketball, Cooter baseball and the SEMO Top 25
There was speculation this week from several people that Brian Brandtner would return from a paid administrative leave before the weekend, but it looks like that's not the case.
The word from Bell City principal Matt Asher today is that an investigation into Brandtner continues, and Asher didn't venture a guess as to when the investigation could end or if or when Brandtner could return.
Brandtner is in his fourth season coaching the school's boys basketball team, but he was suspended late last week. Both Brandtner and the school have declined to detail the nature of the investigation.
• Parker Watkins, a senior on the Cooter High School baseball team, is in Tucson, Ariz., this weekend to try out for one of the preseason UnderArmour All American teams. Parker is among 350 preseason all-Americans chasing a spot on the roster; the UnderArmour teams compete around the country during the summer.
Parker plays first base and third base for the Wildcats.
• After seeing Scott County Central's dismantling of Charleston — a team that's become much more solid since its holiday tournament — is there still doubt that Scott Central is the No. 1 team in the SEMO Top 25? The Braves have been No. 1 since mid-December, but there was plenty of debate that Sikeston deserved the spot.
One game next week that could help fine-tune the top of the rankings is a Tuesday matchup between No. 2 Sikeston and No. 4 Farmington at Farmington. Scott Central, on the other hand, is expected to sweep its league tournament next week, then face a game at Notre Dame on Jan. 27.

Scott County is 100%, without a doubt, the best team in this area. What they did to Charleston was outrageous. Sikeston people, don't even bother crying about it. The Braves are the real deal.
if scc played at ctown, they wouldve won by about 15 I'm sayin. I think scc is the best tho, but we will never know.
You're telling me home court advantage was a 30 point difference? Riiiight...
ya pretty much
SCC is better this year than they were last year. Charleston was better last year than they are this year. SCC beat Charleston by 30 on Charleston's homecourt last year.
SCC is, hands down, the best team in SEMO!!
SCC lost to Memphis Central...Poplar Bluff beat Memphis Central....If Sikeston beats Bluff is Sikeston better than SCC?? See how it could be flipped 100 different ways? Now shut up about it. The only way to know is if these 2 teams play, and they are not going to so leave it at that. How about SCC is the best Class 1 team in SEMO and Sikeston is the best Class 4 team in SEMO? Better?
SCC is better! Hands down!!
Admit it!!
we'll see in less than a month
