Two-Minute Drill

Fresh off its best season in eight years, the Southeast Missouri football team is back to work.

SEMO held its first official practice of the spring in preparation for the 2019 season on Monday. The Redhawks will practice 15 times in four weeks. That stretch of workouts will end with the team's spring game on Apr. 13.

The Redhawks, who have 75 players on their spring roster, took the field at the Rosengarten Athletic Complex for a two-hour practice in helmets Monday afternoon.

The idea for the Walk for Women event was initially developed by Cindy Gannon as a way to recognize the accomplishments of SEMO’s female student-athletes, while helping to raise money to support athletic scholarships. 

Redhawks women’s basketball sophomore Tesia Thompson was named to the Ohio Valley Conference First Team. This is her second consecutive All-OVC honor after earning second-team accolades last season.

Thompson finished the regular season leading the OVC in scoring with 18.5 points per game, totaling 519 points on the year. Thompson also led the league in free throws made and free throws attempted, and finished in the top 10 in rebounding.

The Redhawks Softball team is off to a blazing start this season, and last weekend celebrated a historic win.

Last Friday at the Razorback Invitiational, the Redhawks defeated the host Arkansas Razorbacks, who were ranked #12 in the nation. SEMO claimed a 2-1 lead on a Sarah Messex solo home run in the top of the fifth inning and never looked back, going on to score four more runs in the seventh en route to a 6-1 victory.

Redhawk student-athletes brought home multiple conference honors this week, for their performances last week and one for her performance over an entire season.
