    Basketball all-star games

    By Joboo | July 2, 2009

    One more catch up item.  With only one set of all-star games left, let’s take a look at what has transpired already on the all-star circuit.

    Missouri Challenge

    The inaugural Missouri Challenge was a huge hit and a resounding success for the Southwest squads.  The fourth seeded boys team swept to the championship behind great 3-point shooting defeating Kansas City 84-80.  Branson’s Tate Unruh hit 8 3s and scored 31 points in the championship game to clinch tournament MVP honors.  Alex Hall of Kickapoo chipped in with 26 points and 7 3s of his own.  The SW squad defeated the Northeast in the first round 107-100 with Unruh again leading the way with 29 points.  Then demolished top seed St. Louis 101-80 in the semis to reach the final.  The South Central squad which included players from Camdenton, Laquey, & Waynesville were defeated in the first round by the Southeast team with Austin Brewer of Eminence 88-86.  Their run would end in the semis though at the hands of Kansas City.

    News-Leader Athletes of the Year

    By Joboo | June 30, 2009

    And we finish getting caught up on News-Leader stories with the announcement of their Athletes of the Year.  If you look at past winners of the awards, the News-Leader definitely favors multi-sport athletes.  And this year is no exception.  Selected all-state in both volleyball & basketball, and nearly qualifying for state in track & field, Glendale’s Kaley Lyons is a great choice as the female prep athlete of the year.  Lyons almost made it to state throwing the discus, was one of the better post players in the area on the hardwoods, and was one of the most dominant volleyball players in the state period.

    On the other side, the male prep athlete of the year wasn’t quite so renowned for being multi-sport.  Although he did have some good success on the track.  But Central’s Johnny ‘Quick’ Gray was simply the most breathtaking senior male athlete in the area this year.  His nickname inducing first step, athletic moves, and leadership ability helped reinvigorate a slumbering Central basketball program.

    Congratulations to Kaley Lyons & Johnny Gray.  The News-Leader’s prep athletes of the year.

    News-Leader All-Ozarks baseball team

    By Joboo | June 30, 2009

    Now we’re back to just a week ago and it’s the News-Leader’s All-Ozarks Baseball team.  And with a pitching staff of Ethan Mather, Tyler King, Dalton Friend, Landon Jarrett, David Gilley, John McDermid, Grant Gordon, & Timmy Townsend, you wouldn’t need much offense with these guys.  Ozark, Nia, & Rolla all land two first teamers.  Joplin & Ozark both have three players selected overall.  Strafford’s Caleb Barnum is the only player from class 2 to crack the first team.  Two class 2 players, Gilley and Caleb Schaffitzel of Fair Grove, made the second team.  No class 1 players were selected at all.

    Another item from a couple of weeks ago.  The 2009 News-Leader All-Ozarks girls soccer team.  Glendale & Catholic dominate the teams with the Lady Falcons snagging four first team & one second team spot, and the Lady Irish three and one.  Kickapoo added two first teamers and one second.  Only Ozark’s Paige Hemphill & Jody McFarlen of Bolivar were able to crack the first team from outside of Springfield.

    2009 Joplin Globe all-area boys basketball

    By Joboo | June 29, 2009

    Continuing the ‘catching up’ theme, here the Joplin Globe’s 2009 All-Area Boys Basketball Team.  Player of the Year & Coach of the Year both went across the border to Kansas, but the Ozarks still had great representation.  Eight members of the 16 man first team, nine out of 15 second team members, and the only freshmen to be selected above honorable mention in Alex Oserowsky of Thomas Jefferson.  Underclassmen are all over the team with five first teamers including Miller sophomore Justin Jack, two on the second team, and 5 on the third team.  Congrats to all those selected.

    MHSBCA All-star series results

    By Joboo | June 24, 2009

    The west was best in last weekends Missouri High School Baseball Coaches Association All-star Series last weekend in St. Louis. The boys from the west side were undefeated for the weekend winning three games as the class 3 contest ended in a tie. Colton Jones of Mansfield had the big highlight for the Ozarks as he slugged a 2 run homer in the class 2 game. Kendall San Paolo nearly joined him in going deep in the class 3 contest hitting what ended up being a 400 foot triple. All-state teams were also picked and I’ll be posting them next. Congrats to all our area all-stars.

    MVP – Logan Kirchhoff, Santa Fe
