Two great matchups of state ranked teams on the girls side last night. And the headliner lived up to the hype in Sarcoxie. Purdy and Miller went to overtime for the second time this season with Purdy’s Addy Roller hitting a late three to get it there. But in the extra period, Miller hit their [...]

The Nixa Lady Eagles, Exeter Lady Tigers, and Sparta Lady Trojans each [...]
