One thing you can be certain of about the News-Leader’s 2010 All-Ozarks girls soccer team, you will see most of them again. The selections, especially on the first team, are heavy with underclassmen. Which means that Catholic’s state title may just be the beginning of the Ozark’s rise in soccer. Ozark’s Paige Hemphill and Jessica Maerz of Parkview are the only seniors to make the first team. Seven juniors and two sophomores, Lauren Moats of Nixa and Bekah Bade of Catholic, compose the rest of the team. Catholic leads the way with four first team and one second team selection, all underclassmen.

“And the walls came tumbling down.” - Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho
The first state soccer championship in the state of Missouri occurred during the 1968-69 school year. At Normandy High School in St. Louis, the Christian Brothers boys team upended Rosary 1-0 in overtime to claim that historic first title. The first girls championship would be played in 1985 but by then the wall separating the Ozarks from a state soccer title was solidly in place. 23 years after that first title game, teams from SW Mo began taking down the wall piece by precious piece. Progress was slow but steady.

Some baseball is back on tonight and we’ve already had a great game. A couple of small school titans meet in Dadeville & Stockton with the Tigers coming out on top. Robbe Ewing used his arm and bat to lead the way, hitting a HR as well as getting the win while striking out 13 Bearcats. Keaton Seibenaler also hits a dinger to give Stockton a big win.
Elsewhere, Ozark wins a close one over Glendale 3-2 as Drew Crain pitches a complete game for the win. Strafford’s Conner Wilson smacks a home run and 5 Indian players get 2 hits each as Strafford pulls out an 8-7 win over Forsyth. And Tyler Burgess continues to impress for Webb City as he gets the W against Kickapoo 9-1. Derrick Mann helped the Webb City cause with an early grand slam, one of three homers on the night for the Cardinals.
And in soccer last night, Parkview wrapped up their first ever Ozark Conference championship with a 3-0 win over West Plains. The Lady Vikings will head into districts with a perfect 9-0 conference run in their pocket.

Caught some baseball action at the Cassville Tournament yesterday that, due to poor field conditions in Cassville, was going on in Purdy. Seneca got off to a good start to the season winning two games. In the first they trailed Aurora 11-6 going into the bottom of the last inning but scored 6 in the last frame to win 12-11. No such closeness in game two. After Purdy jumped out to a 2-0 lead after their half of the first inning, Dalton Cummings launched a 2 run blast deep to left center. Sencea would score 5 in the frame, hit 4 home runs for the game, and won 13-3 in 5 innings. Purdy then rebounded with a strong game, taking Aurora to extra innings before finally falling 5-4 in the eighth.

On on the final night of class 1, 2, & 3 district competition, four schools take home both boys and girls championships. Three of those accomplished the feat on their home court. Dora in class 1, Mt. Vernon and Stockton in class 3. Ava pulls off the district double at Cabool. The Thayer girls and Seymour boys need overtime to win their district finals. The Seymour boys and the Dora girls beat both the #1 & #2 seeds in their districts to win their championships. And the Stockton boys are the lowest seed to win a district coming from the #5 spot.
