2009 Holiday Tournament Week - Day 4

Other champions crowned already tonight. Branson wins the Blue division 66-51 over Nixa.  Mt. Vernon wins the Pink & White beating West Plains 49-29.  And Norwood defeats Dora to win the Cabool Tournament.  The Walnut Grove boys championship, the Richland title game, and the U.S. Bank final are all under way with the Gold division game soon to tip.

Webb City is the only area team to find the winners circle on the final day of the KTXR Lady Classic.  The Lady Cardinals rebounded from their loss to Kickapoo to blast Lexington Catholic 62-26 in the 3rd place game.  Glendale lost a heartbreaking 7th place game 53-52 to Shawnee Mission East.  Nixa almost upended Midwest City in the 5th place game.  But two Richa Jackson free throws sealed the win for the Bombers 52-50.  And in a game just completed, Wheeling, IL hangs on to win 50-44 over Kickapoo.  The Lady Chiefs were down 13 at the half but whittled the lead down until they were down 5 with 2 and a half minutes to play.  But couldn’t get any closer.  Great effort from Kickapoo and a deserved second place finish.
