It s time for our latest addition to the list of amazing people that have been nominated for our Central Bank of Sedalia Unsung Hero.
This month, our nominee was Diane Shipley. She was nominated by her friend Missy Casdorph. Here s what she said:
Diane was there for us my son passed away and took on everything, even though she was dealing with a loss, too. Diane and Kevin, her fiance, have stepped up and been there for my kids during this time.

AUGUSTA, Ga. After two near-misses, the Missouri Valley College mens soccer team claimed the ultimate prize.
It feels amazing to get it done, declared head coach Vladimir Simic following the Vikings 2-0 victory Monday over Oklahoma Wesleyan in the NAIA National Championship match at Augusta, Ga.
Valley had reached the finals in two of the last three years, losing in double-overtime in 2017 and on penalty kicks the following year.
The loss was to Heart of America Conference rival Central Methodist, also the 19 champion and a formidable obstacle to the Vikings goal. However, having lost to the top-ranked Eagles twice this season, No. 4 Valley pulled off an upset Saturday with a convincing 4-2 victory.
