Matt Varney caught up with John A. Logan softball coach Taylor Seifert on Thursday.  The pair discussed Logan Softball picking up Zeigler-Royalton ace Hayley Pasquino and Red Bud standout Lyla Hess on signing day, the new Player Development Center that is set to be built at John A. Logan College, and how the Fall 2023 season went.

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.
