    9/6 scores

    Sunday, September 7th, 2008

    Some good action from Saturday, including the New Covenant soccer team’s ‘revenge’ tour hitting a snag in Cassville as they fell to the Wildcats 3-2.  I talked with a couple of Cassville’s soccer players Friday night at the Mt. Vernon/Cassville football game.  And while neither seemed upset about the ‘revenge’ comment published in the News-Leader, [...]

    Other Friday action

    Saturday, September 6th, 2008

    I know some people may be shocked to hear this.  But (brace yourself) there are sports other than football played on Fridays in the fall.  For instance, softball, where Ash Grove beat Miller 7 to 5 last night.  Shelly Wilson had 3 hits to lead the Pirates.  Boy’s swimming and diving also.  Why yesterday Kickapoo [...]

    9/4 scores

    Friday, September 5th, 2008

    Action from a soggy Thursday night around the Ozarks.  Rogersville wins a matchup of state ranked volleyball teams downing Mountain Grove in straight sets.  Bailey Halford had 27 assists to lead the Wildcats.  And the Cassville boys soccer team goes for double digits to spoil Branson’s first ever soccer game by winning 10-2.  Uziel Franco [...]

    9/2 scores

    Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

    Volleyball opened up and took center stage last night.  State ranked Rogersville opened their season with a straight set 25-22, 29-27 win over Kickapoo.  Callie Carroll and Sarah Powell combined for 23 digs for the Wildcats as they showed a strong defensive effort.  Soccer also had a soggy opening night.  A trio of one goal [...]

    Class 1 all-state girls soccer team & rankings

    Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

    One of the things that makes soccer unique among sports is how sometimes a loss can elevate your teams profile more than a win.  The Catholic Lady Irish ended their season with a loss to St. Dominic.  Losing 2-0 but controlling the game most of the way.  That resulted in the team actually rising a [...]

    Class 2 all-state girls soccer team & rankings

    Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

    The all-state girls soccer teams have been out for a while but I hadn’t gotten to posting them.  So here they are.  A little disappointing for sure as the Ozarks only garners 5 out of 57 total selections.  And only one first team placing.  Lorin Opfer of Glendale grabs that spot.  Waynesville’s Katie Pritchard and [...]

    News-Leader athletes of the year

    Friday, June 27th, 2008

    Earlier this week the News-Leader announced their male and female athletes of the year. Matt Jordan of Ozark on the boys side. And Waynesville’s Katie Pritchard on the girls. Both excellent choices and good articles on both. Ozark fans will sorely miss Jordan after the huge role he played in [...]

    Southwest All-Stars soccer games

    Friday, June 27th, 2008

    In sports, we often make reference to ‘going out on top’. Coaches and players who retire after winning a championship. An athlete walking away from the game while still one of the very best. Memories of those who have done so are plentiful. Sandy Koufax retiring while still the dominant pitcher [...]

    SW Soccer All-Star games rescheduled

    Saturday, June 21st, 2008

    After lightning forced the premature end of the girls game Thursday night, both games have been rescheduled for this Thursday. Same start times (girls game at 6 PM, boys at 8 PM) at Lake Country Soccer.  Again, this will be your last chance to see some of these athletes play.  So get on out [...]
