In the boys game, Chad [...]
One more catch up item. With only one set of all-star games left, let’s take a look at what has transpired already on the all-star circuit.
Missouri Challenge
The inaugural Missouri Challenge was a huge hit and a resounding success for the Southwest squads. The fourth seeded boys team swept to the championship behind great [...]
Since we’re halfway through baseball season, I thought I’d better do our basketball review before it gets totally lost. We’ll always remember this as the year of the ladies in the Ozarks as every state championship game features a team from SW Mo. The Nixa Lady Eagles, Exeter Lady Tigers, and Sparta Lady Trojans each [...]
The teams have all been announced and the teams seeded for the boys side of the inaugural Missouri Challenge May 29th & 30th. The Southwest team is composed entirely of Ozarks players. While the South Central and Southeast teams both have Ozarks players also. St. Louis grabs the top seed, with Kansas City second, and [...]
The Missouri Basketball Coaches Association released their nominees for Mr. and Miss Show-Me Basketball earlier this week. As expected, Whitney Edie of Exeter was included. As was Brooke Jurgensmeyer of Osceola. A bit surprising but very pleasantly so.

Coming to you from somewhere other than where I normally do, sitting in a chair that’s not at all comfortable, without access to my email, it’s Joboo with the very delayed Friday night scores. Once the faceless, bloodsucking, evil corporation that has forced this mini-exodus has put my personal Humpty-Dumpty back together again, I’ll tell everyone the [...]
