Is there a specific reason that the scores from the Oran game are not reported in the paper?

kmasters: What is your problem with the coverage on your Scott County Braves. They got a couple paragraphs and a nice picture with a big headline.

And all you jabber on here about how they are the best team in Southeast Missouri and possible the state is nonsense. They are nowhere close to the best in the state, I mean nowhere close and they had a shot at Notre Dame and lost. Deal with it. I wish them the best of luck and hope they bring home a state trophy (or BC does) for the SEMO area. But they didn't win when they needed to, to get the recognition of being the top team in Southeast Missouri.

ND is a very tough team,And i hope they can win the state title in there class.I believe with there recruiting they will represent semo very well.They have one of the best coaches in the state with Mr. Hale.IM not taking anything away from ND,i just think the way the Braves are playing right now they are the best team.
