For those of you on the eastern end of the Ozarks, you are not without holiday hoops. The U.S. Bank Holiday Invitational at Rolla High School always has some good action. This year the local squads are host Rolla, Salem, and Waynesville. They’ll be competing against Rogers, Arkansas who are coming off their Arvest Invitational title including wins over Mt. Vernon and Webb City, Warrensburg, St. Joseph Benton, Festus, and Francis Howell Central. The first round is the 28th, semis on the 29th, and finals on the 30th. Should be another great, competitive event with some excellent talent.

I just realized this (something of a nitpick, but I was legitimately confused for a minute), but, don’t you mean the eastern end of the Ozarks?
Right you are my friend. I must be directionally challenged.
Do you have any of the day 1 scores for the Rolla Holiday tournament?
No scores yet. But Warrensburg beat Waynesville, Rogers defeated Salem, Rolla beat St. Joe, and Francis Howell beat Festus.
Thanks
