Big win tonight on the soccer pitch for Greenwood as the knock off last year’s class 2 runner up Bolivar 2-1. Matt Magana registered a first half goal to give the Liberators a 1-0 halftime lead. But Greenwood rallied in the second half shutting out Bolivar while getting the tying goal from Stuart Beezley. Then Devon Whitlock came through with the game winner. Nice early season win for the Blue Jays.

As I prepared for the football season, I started looking at what games I wanted to see. I highlighted a number of them to try to catch throughout the year, but in week one, there was one I didn’t want to miss. Hogan Prep at Mt. View-Liberty. After last year, there was no doubt that this would be a meeting of top 10 teams. Liberty had made the second round for the second straight year and gave Fair Grove a struggle before falling. While Hogan had pushed eventual state champion Maryville to the limit. Hogan is usually loaded with athletes, including Devante Bausby this year. Mt. View returned a host of all-conference players on offense. Plus throw in my personal reason of getting a chance to see my awesome grandmother, and this was a must see for me.
There was just one wrinkle, it was set for Saturday afternoon. Well this was a very opportune wrinkle since it would allow me the chance to watch not one, but two games in week 1 because Hwy 60 would be crawling with games. Continue reading My Big (unlucky for the) SCA Road Trip

It’s been a while since I updated the Goodfellas list that you see to the right. For those of you who don’t know, the Goodfellas are the guys who have proven to me they really care about high school sports. That it’s not just about trying to make a buck, but about wanting to give coverage and exposure to our local high school athletes. So it’s with great joy that I have some additions to the Goodfellas list, and with sadness, some subtractions.

A couple of volleyball final four teams from last year opened with decisive victories last night. Osceola opened their quest to return with a 2-0 win over Pleasant Hope. While College Heights equaled that score against Ash Grove.

A pretty typical week 1. Some shocking results, some teams looking just as good as advertised, some HUGE performances, some fresh faces emerging, some questions answered, and some questions still open. The big question right now is “Who won between Ava and Strafford?” Usually we’d be pretty set on this point but multiple sources are reporting the score different ways. The score was 35-28. And it did go to overtime. That we know. Everyone agrees. But was it the Bears or the Indians? That’s the point of contention. Well I can say on good authority (i.e. someone who was actually at the game) that Ava did come out the winner. Now that we have that out of the way, it’s the moment you’ve all really been waiting for since last year’s Show-Me Bowls. Yes, we all enjoy the football games. But everybody loves the Ozarks favorite game…
