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

  7/12/2024
  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

  7/11/2024
  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.

  Cody Schrader's career path up to this point has already been well-documented.

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.
