Another great evening of Basketball Saturday night in Branson as the 15th Gerald Pilz All-Star Games were held.

In the boys game, Chad Jeffs [...] 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 3-point shooting defeating Kansas City 84-80. Branson’s Tate Unruh hit 8 3s and scored 31 points in the championship game to clinch tournament MVP honors. Alex Hall of Kickapoo chipped in with 26 points and 7 3s of his own. The SW squad defeated the Northeast in the first round 107-100 with Unruh again leading the way with 29 points. Then demolished top seed St. Louis 101-80 in the semis to reach the final. The South Central squad which included players from Camdenton, Laquey, & Waynesville were defeated in the first round by the Southeast team with Austin Brewer of Eminence 88-86. Their run would end in the semis though at the hands of Kansas City. 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 Southeast third. The Southwest squad gets seeded fourth and will play fifth seed Northeast in the first round.

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. On the boys side, Micah Mayle of Laquey is a finalist as is Kickapoo’s Alex Hall. The same Alex Hall that couldn’t find a spot on either the coaches or sportswriters all-state teams (but should have) is now up for the state’s highest basketball honor. Very interesting. Cheers to whoever was in charge of the nominations for correcting that error. Miss Show-Me Basketball finalists So much going on tonight. The Ozark district is living up to all the hype as Nixa’s Caleb Thomas hits a 3 at the buzzer to defeat Ozark 61-60 and advance to the finals. The shot was the first three of the season for Thomas. Their opponent will be Branson who closed the door on the coaching career of Roy Green by defeating Kickapoo 80-68. At Cassville, the Cassville Lady Wildcats gave Republic all they wanted before finally falling 51-46. The lid was on hoop for Republic from the field but the shoot 17 more free throws than the Lady Wildcats and outscored them 17-8 from the stripe to move to the final. Hannah Elkins had 21 points for Cassville. In Owensville, the Salem boys continue their surprising run by knocking off powerful Owensville 69-67. The sixth seeded Tigers will play for the title against state ranked Helias. And Rogersville is the first area boys team to book a ticket to the state tournament. The Wildcats downed fifth seeded West Plains 53 -41 to advance. They’ll next play Wednesday night at Lebanon agains the winner of the Helias/Salem game.

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 full story. But for now, let’s stick to what you really want to know. The scores. BASKETBALL BOYS McAuley Warrior Classic
