However, this year instead of running toward Jesse Hall, the graduates ran from Jesse Hall. The Senior Sendoff tradition symbolizes the graduates going out into the world after completing their studies.

Mizzou football has a chance to remake history Thursday. Offensive tackle Armand Membou and wide receiver Luther Burden III will likely hear their names called within the early stages of the NFL Draft. If both players are selected in the first round, it'll mark the first time since 2011 that two Tigers get taken on Day 1. That year, defensive end Aldon Smith went No. 7 overall to the San Francisco 49ers, and quarterback Blaine Gabbert went to the Jacksonville Jaguars three picks later.

In a back-and-forth MSHSAA Class 5 semifinal, Helias girls basketball fell just short of punching its ticket to the Class 5 championship game, falling 47-44 to St.Teresa's Academy on Friday at Mizzou Arena. After a low scoring first half, the Crusaders finally caught fire. Junior guard Jayli Howell fought through contact as she went up for a contested layup and got the and-1, tying the game at 25-25 with 3:35 left in the third quarter.

The latter two schools made his final three, and staying in the northern part of the United States seemed like a real possibility from the outside.
