1/30/09 scores

Kickapoo and KC O’Hara advanced to the final of the Nixa Invitational Friday night.  Kickapoo used a big third quarter to turn around a 26-25 halftime deficit and defeat Hillcrest 71-57.  While Nixa just couldn’t completely slow down O’Hara and fell 62-53.

In Rogersville, a pair of 31 point performances resulted in different results as Preston Guiot’s 31 leads Bolivar into the final 57-50 over Rogersville.  But Patrick Holt’s 31 wasn’t enough to offset the absence of Shaun Thomas and Chadwick falls to Lebanon 75-61.

And the Laquey/Stoutland showdown at the Conway tournament gets short-circuited as #3 seed Miller knocked off the second seeded Tigers 53-47.  Top seeded Laquey will be their opponent as the Hornets drop Fair Grove 54-30.
