O'Brien, Anderson named to Sikeston Honors Board
Public Ceremony Scheduled for May 21
Two outstanding volunteers with youth soccer, baseball and basketball were selected by the Sikeston Park Board for installation on their Honors Board.
Dan O'Brien and Rod Anderson will be the 42nd and 43rd volunteers to be installed on the Board since 1986, when the Park Board began recognizing outstanding men and women who have made significant contributions to youth programs in Sikeston.
O'Brien coached youth soccer and baseball for eight years, and youth basketball for six. He served as a league officer for both the Sikeston Youth Soccer League and Sikeston Area Youth Baseball, and was tournament director for the 12-year-old state tournament in 2007 and the 13-year-old Midwest Plains Regional Tournament in 2008. In addition to coaching, O'Brien has been very involved in maintenance of both baseball and soccer fields. O'Brien spearheaded fundraising efforts for the installation of irrigation systems and field renovations at the VFW Stadium.
Anderson began coaching youth basketball at the age of 13. In 1979, six months too old to play, he coached in the Tanner Street Church of God's community basketball program. During his 14- year tenure with the basketball program he has served as a director, league coordinator, scorekeeper and even as a concession worker. From 2002-2008, Anderson was a youth baseball coach and league coordinator. He also coached all-star teams for seven seasons. From 2004-2008 his teams were State and Midwest Plains Regional champs, finishing third in the Babe Ruth World Series in 2008.
Bronze plaques commemorating the contributions of O'Brien and Anderson will be installed on the Honors Board in a public ceremony on May 21.
