  • Meet Carol Callan, the backstage architect of the U.S. women’s basketball dynasty

    LILLE, France — For the last seven Summer Olympics, Carol Callan has woken up on the morning of the opening ceremonies with a checklist and a hypothetical fire extinguisher. The checklist contained everything that could conceivably go awry: missing shoelaces, practice schedules in need of tweaks, backup transit solutions, alternate uniforms being packed in the off-chance that Team USA’s opponents showed up in the wrong gear. Every metaphorical pothole that could exist between that moment and a gold medal was already foreseen (and pre-fixed) by Callan, who from 1996 through the Tokyo Games in 2021 was the director of the women’s program for USA Basketball.

  • Lutheran South's Aidan Toner earns state tennis berth, then graduates

    It was a day to remember for Lutheran South tennis player Aidan Toner.
    The senior spent the late morning and early afternoon Friday winning his Class 1 individual sectional match against Rhyder Williams of Dexter 6-2, 6-0. That victory qualified Toner for the Missouri individual boys tennis state tournament May 17-18 in Springfield.
    There was another reason to celebrate Friday night as Toner was set to graduate in ceremonies at the Lutheran South football field.
    "I guess I had my two biggest achievements in one day," said Toner, who will be attending Truman State University.

  • How Cody Schrader went from Missouri walk-on to SEC's best running back

    When he wasn't running roughshod through Division II defenses at Truman State, Cody Schrader had no interest in watching other games on television in his spare time.
    It didn't matter who was playing, be it teams from the Big Ten, Big 12, SEC or anybody else on college football's biggest stages.
    "I didn't pay attention to any of the big-time Division I football games just because I always saw myself being able to play at that level and play in the biggest games even if nobody else did," Schrader told ESPN. "I was mad about it. I wouldn't watch, couldn't watch."
    Now fans across the country are watching Schrader on those big stages, and defenses on those "big-time Division I football" teams are struggling to stop the 5-foot-9, 214-pound dynamo. In his second season at Missouri after transferring from Truman State as a walk-on, Schrader leads all FBS players with an average of 129.4 rushing yards per game.

  • The Cody Schrader Story Adds a New Chapter at NFL Scouting Combine

    Cody Schrader's career path up to this point has already been well-documented. 
    Especially for those who've followed Missouri football over the past couple of seasons, his story has been shared countless times. No scholarship offers out of high school, domination at Division II Truman State, walking on to Missouri in 2022, fighting his way up the depth chart, exploding in 2023. As Schrader rumbled his way into the national spotlight along with the Tigers, that story was echoed time and time again. 
    When he took the podium on Friday at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, he had 15 minutes to share as much of his career journey as possible in order to convince reporters that hadn't been following him as closely that he was the real deal.
