Some of the top names in Southeast Missouri State University basketball history -- male and female -- will be on display tonight during the fourth annual SEMO Alumni Shootout.

This year, for the first time ever, former Southeast women's hoop standouts will be included to make for a coed game.

Action begins at 7 p.m. in the Cape Girardeau Central High Tiger Field House. Tickets, priced at $3, are available at both Schnucks stores in Cape Girardeau. Proceeds will go to the Cape Girardeau Civic Center.

In addition to the new twist of a coed game, there will also be a 3-point halftime shootout featuring boys and girls basketball players from Central, Notre Dame and Jackson high schools.

"We believe the new format this year, with the coed game and also the 3-point halftime shootout, will be really exciting," said event chairman Fred Pennington.

Among the former Southeast men's basketball standouts who are scheduled to take part are:

Alan Barnett, Lew Brookins, Kirt Cochran, Cleo Conley, Jewell Crawford, Danny Dohogne, Anthony Hall, Darryl Harris, Eddie Hart, Malcomn Henry, Calvin Jones, Archie Lawson, and Michael Lewis.

Others are Tony McClellon, Lennies McFerren, Terry Mead, Kermit Meystedt, Michael Morris, Otto Porter, Ray Pugh, Keith Ressell, Carl Ritter, Dwayne Rutherford, Earnest Taylor, Thomas Thames, Derick Turner, Charles Williams and Tony Wofford.

Some of the ex-Otahkian stars slated to play include Lisa Beussink, Cindy Chronister, Pat Colon, Marvina Ann Craig, Stephanie Crawford, Sandy Fletcher, Joanne Gordon, Rachaelle Hays, Mary Herring, Bertha King, Erica Muskgrow, Angela Poindexter, Sherre Simmons and Darryl Strong.

The SEMO Alumni Shootout is sponsored by the Southeast Missourian, Nip Kelley Equipment Company, Holiday Inn, Drury Lodge, Craftsman Independent Union, KZIM radio, KBSI-TV and the Purple Crackle.
