Tournament action shifted to the west side last night with both the Carthage Lady Tiger Classic and Kaminsky Classic kicking off. But only one local west side team came out on top, that being the Carthage girls who beat Nevada 40-23. The Nixa girls held off Webb City 61-54 despite Kaitlin Jaeger’s 23 pts. But in the Kaminsky Classic, the area went 0-4 as Joplin, Carl Junction, Webb City, and Neosho all fell.
In other action, the Hillcrest girls got a big win defeating Glendale 63-59 in overtime. Kaley Lyons lead all scorers with 22 but the Lady Hornet defense forced 4 straight turnovers after falling behind in the OT to grab the lead and secure the win.
And Kevin O’Keefe of McAuley banked in a 3 at the end of regulation to send the Warriors into overtime with Jasper. In the OT O’Keefe scored 7 of his 25 points to lead McAuley to the 58-54 win. Isaac Tidball had 28 for the Eagles.
