The first team released on the girls side of the Missouri Challenge Cup just happens to be the Southwest Missouri squad. A great pair of coaches in Nixa’s Jim Middleton and Sparta’s Jerry Songer. They each bring a pair of players having state championship experience with Allison Stevens and Kayla Coffer from Sparta, and Bethanie Funderburk and Emily Walker of Nixa. Kickapoo is well represented by Makenzie Smith and Casey Carroll. Of the remaining five players, four are from class 2 schools (Bridget Hanafin of Clever, Hannah Wilkerson from Miller, Hartville’s Maggie Arnall, and Whitney Mills of Thayer) and one (Bailey Irvine of Hillcrest) is from a class 5.
That’s a great lineup that has a great task ahead of them to equal or better last year’s result.

Another fantastic year of Ozarks hoops. Three state titles courtesy of the Hillcrest boys, and Webb City and Mt. Vernon girls. Tons of teams in the state rankings all year. We saw Hannah Wilkerson run down the all time high school scoring mark, then make a run to Columbia. We witnessed possibly the national high school boys basketball highlight of the year when Trey Starks launched himself into the rafters of Mizzou arena and over Oakville’s Garrett Reeg. We prayed as Stephanie Phillips stopped coaching to renew her fight against cancer. And we rejoiced as she came back to guide her team to the final four. We followed the rise of newcomers to the state rankings. Verona and Richland on the girls side. Thomas Jefferson and Gainesville on the boys. We cheered all the buzzer beaters, big wins, great plays, comebacks, defensive stands, hustle plays, razzle dazzle, and gutsy losses. And now, like always, we say goodbye to those seniors who gave everything they had for their schools, for their towns, and for us, and leave us with so many memories. Here’s the year in review.

After a banner year for girls basketball in the Ozarks, we’re primed to do it again. Legitimate state contenders are in every class. Division 1 signees and other future college players abound. Great conference races in the Big 8, COC Large, Ozark Conference, Ozark 7, and Summit Conference should keep the courts hot all year. And it all points to another bunch of teams in Columbia come March. Let’s go.
Top 5 Teams By Class
Class 1
- Verona – Senior Beth Bigham plus three talented sophomores make Verona a contender.
- Chadwick
- Humansville
- Bakersfield

After a relatively quiet first night of districts, the upset bug went into overtime for day 2. And no upset was bigger than Winona knocking off the state’s #1 team Eminence 2-1 to win the district title. And that was after Winona earlier dispatched a very strong Summersville team 2-0 in the semifinals.
Other #1s that fell include Kickapoo, to #4 Nixa in the semis. Nixa would complete their daily double with a 3 set win over #2 seed Webb City to advance to state play. And #1 seed Jasper goes down in the semifinals to Rich Hill.
More finals coming tonight followed by the schedule for first round action.
CLASS 1
District 5 at Winona
- #1 Eminence 2, #4 Bunker 1
- #3 Winona 2, #2 Summersville 0
- #3 Winona 2, #1 Eminence 1 (16-25, 25-19, 25-21)
