Thursday, John A. Logan men's basketball coach Kyle Smithpeters was announced as an assistant coach to new Missouri coach Dennis Gates.  As he prepares to depart for Columbia, Smithpeters gave a parting statement that you can listen to below.

Smithpeters went 241-73 over 10 seasons as the head coach of the Vols and coached a pair of NJCAA Player of the Year in Sean East, who is also headed to Mizzou, and Jay Scrubb who went directly to the NBA after his time at John A. Logan College.

Smithpeters plans to join Sportsvoice on Saturday morning.

After a 16-12 win over Flora to lock in to a postseason berth, the Sesser-Valier-Waltonville Red Devils were selected as the SIH Team of the Week!  Coach John Shadowens discusses the win with Matt Varney as well as the season up to this point, the Black Diamond as a whole, and their Week 9 matchup at Hamilton County:

There was no bigger news to start Saturday morning's Sportsvoice off than the St. Louis Cardinals trading for Nolan Arenado.  Mike Murphy, Scott Hudson, and DH break the move down and talk to listeners in the first segment of Sportsvoice Saturday morning
