Missouri Southern State University Athletics

Tom Storm was a longtime clock operator for the Missouri Southern Basketball teams. A member of the Lionbacker organization for more than 30 years, Storm was able to work most of Southern's home contests. As one could imagine, after doing the job for better than a quarter century, Storm has seen a good deal of excitement. He notes the 1999-2000 men's basketball team and its trip to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight as one of his most thrilling memories. Of course, any game with local rivals Pittsburg State or Drury also ranks right up there.
