Part of a shoe is a cool league name? Absolutely. We love the creativity in the Bootheel name, and
the story of why this part of Missouri isn't instead in Arkansas.
Local look: "Located in the extreme southeast corner of Missouri, which takes the shape of a bootheel in comparison to the rest of the state, the Bootheel Conference has been battling conference and nonconference foes since garnering its present day moniker in March of 1958. The rural eight-school league is formerly known as the Pemiscot County High School Athletics Association. All eight schools are in relatively close proximity of each other with South Pemiscot and Malden making the longest trek of 48 miles one way."
