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 [...]

I took the roadshow to Aurora last night for the class 1 district 6 boys first round. The first game went to #5 seed Walnut Grove 64-52 over Niangua. I only caught the last quarter, but the Tigers looked very poised and controlled as they moved on to face #1 Chadwick.
The next game featured #2 [...]

Couch falls from the ranks of the the unbeaten, but they have nothing to hang their heads about as they go to West Plains and fall to the Zizzers 46-40. Alisha Shipley led the West Plains charge with 18 points as they go to 15-6 on the year. Couch goes to 19-1 and has to [...]
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 [...]
Branson hits the century mark in an easy win tonight. Reeds Spring’s Jake Marty lead all scorers with 30 points. But Mike Wiebe had 24 and Tate Unruh 23 as the Pirates breeze 100-70.
