Changes are coming for MSHSAA and OVC events
Watching the Ohio Valley Conference baseball tournament will require a longer road trip, and seeing the state high school basketball tournaments for teams in Class 1, 2 or 3 might require a little extra shuffling, too.
First, for the decision that is set in stone: The OVC recently voted to relocate its postseason tournament from Paducah, Ky., to Pringles Park, home of the Double-A West Tenn Diamond Jaxx in Jackson, Tenn. Pringles Park will host the tournament for at least three years starting in 2010; next year's tournament will be May 26-30.
And a decision being debated but not voted on (yet): The MSHSAA Board of Directors has asked for further study of an idea that would use two facilities for first-day games in the Class 1, 2 and 3 state high school basketball championships, saying the move would be "more advantageous" for the athletes involved.
The plan would help balance the schedule through the first day of the event, altering the existing schedule that calls for more than 12 hours of nonstop basketball at Mizzou Arena. The proposal being considered would use both Mizzou Arena and Hearnes Center for the first day of games.
With that idea still up in the air until a later vote, the association did approve a plan that would keep the championship events for wrestling and basketball on the Mizzou campus for at least the next four years, while track and field state championships will stay in Jefferson City for at least the next two years.

Also, the OVC isn't doing a media day this year for Mens Basketball or Football. They are going to interview the coaches by phone and put the media guides online for everyone to print. The move is supposed to save them 40,000 per media day. Keep up the good work.
Just over 2 months away from the start of Semo football.
What's up with Marty Mishow ripping "other" sports sites for reporting the new SID at Semo? He has since deleted the post and all the comments ripping him but reported the same news as well.
Marty doesn't want to be shown up, and thats whats been happening now that he's not the only person reporting Semo news. That's probably the only blog he's deleted in his life and I'm sure he did it bc he looked bad with all the negative comments. Shouldn't everyone know that if it doesn't come from Marty, it's just not important??
I think Marty has been asleep for the past few weeks. That whole semoball operation is hanging by a thread anyway, i'd be surprised if it's still running a year from now.
