I could talk for days about the MIAA’s insistence on going all-conference games-all the time. As a fan, it sucks. For coaches and administrators trying to schedule games, it must be nice.

New region. New result. For the first time in almost a decade, Northwest Missouri will not be playing in a Division II regional final.

The PSAC will be represented by two athletes in this year's presentation of the Harlon Hill Trophy.
