We may see some summer sports for the high school seniors as soon as July!  The SEMO Conference athletic directors met on Tuesday, May 5, 2020 to discuss plans for All-Star games for seniors in baseball, tennis, golf and track.

"The SEMO Conference ADs along with coaches are working on events for our senior spring athletes to allow them a chance to compete one last time before they leave us," commented Dexter High School Athletic Director Josh Dowdy.  "The idea is to try and have an "all-star" game/match/tournament for outgoing senior spring sport athletes within our conference during the week of July 6th - July 11th."

"Details of when and where the events will take place is still being coordinated with coaches and athletic directors," continued Dowdy.

As you may know there is a lot to planning just one tournament or event.  This will be quite the endeavor for the coaches and ADs, but well worth it to see the athletes compete one more time.  

This will be the first ever high school all-star games featuring seniors who lost their 2020 season due to COVID-19.  Most of the events will probably take place in Cape Girardeau and Sikeston.

There are eight teams comprising the SEMO Conference for baseball: Cape Girardeau, Dexter, Jackson, Kennett, New Madrid, Notre Dame, Poplar Bluff and Sikeston.
