The Missouri State High School Athletic Association (MSHSAA) is set to make big changes  on the way the individual classes are set up. As most know, sometimes the bottom teams of a class are pitted against teams of several hundreds of more students. Also, the classifying the private school will be changed. Again, most know that the private schools have the dark dirty secret of having the ability to recruit. Below are the proposals.

PROPOSAL 9 – (Sport and Activity Classification) – (PASSED) – 376 FOR, 51 AGAINST

When opposing baseball teams play Lincoln, their coaches tell their players that Lincoln has a D-1 prospect. While there are several All-State players walking around, not too many players carry the D-1 (Division-1) label. Junior Jackson Beaman usually gathers in an intentional pass or is pitched around in almost every game. Rightfully so, as he has been All-State for the past three seasons.

Lincoln’s Senior Aleah Paxton was selected among the first All-State first team  pitchers. Junior Haley Mackey, one of the best catchers around, was named to the second team as the Designated Player. 

Paxton had games where she was dominating in striking out over two- thirds of the batters she faced. She also was a tremendous offensive threat in hitting behind the cleanup spot in the lineup. Paxton had several key hits during the final four.

While school was offically out last week, three Warsaw athletes had some unfinished business to attend to and even extreme weather and a change of location couldn’t stop them.

MSHSAA State Track & Field was suppose to be a two day event (May 24, 25) in Jefferson City at Jefferson City High School, but due to a Tornado that  hit the Capitol City on Wednesday May 22, the meet was postponed to May 25th and moved to an alternative site.
