Hi Khasch,
Son is currently a soph at 3R. Feel free to send me a PM with specific questions and I will do my best to answer.
Poplar Bluff is a nice town, but a little on the smaller side, especially if you are from a larger city. Has most of the typical restaurants and stores you would expect.
Baseball plays in Region 16 which has some tough competition in Crowder and Jefferson CC. Team goes to Florida each year for spring break and play a minor league team as an exhibition game. This year 2 games vs Detroit, last year Detroit and Phillies. Also play Pasco Hernandez while in Florida who I think went to the Juco World Series last year. (Don't quote me on that one!)
Hope this helps.
