On the girls side, the Southwest team, composed entirely of Ozarks players, is seeded first.

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.

The Missouri Basketball Coaches Association released their all-state academic teams last week and a number of Ozarks players were selected. 11 players were selected (two more than last year) on the girls side representing 11 different teams. Three of those came from the SCA conference, the most of any area conference. Elizabeth Chappell of Cabool, Mandy Riddle of Mt. View-Liberty, and Rachel Sirois of Salem.
On the boys side, Jeff Williams’ Joplin Eagles had three players of the 17 selected (also 2 more than last year). Devin St. Clair, Matt McCreary, and Phillip Davis. Having two players selected were Hermitage (Ben Salmon and Brent Collins) and Plato (Landon and Logan Justice).
As always, a huge congratulations to these kids, their parents and coaches for keeping the “student” in student athlete. And a special tip of the hat to those players who were selected for both the all-state and all-state academic teams. This year we have two, both on the girls side. Bridget Hanafin of Clever and Casey Carroll of Kickapoo.

Now most of you know that Joboo loves me some small school ball. And that I keep an eye out for up & coming talent. With that in mind, I headed to Sarcoxie last night to catch the Everton Lady Tigers and Jessica Holland. She of the triple double to start the season. I arrived a little late and by the time I got settled in, Everton was already down by double digits. But they started to hit some shots, applied the press, and started to chip away at the lead. Holland at 5′ 9″ had a few inches on the Sarcoxie guards and decent speed, allowing her to go inside and outside pretty confidently. Sarcoxie lead 24-18 at the half and I had Holland for 8 points in the time I had been watching.
In the second half, foul trouble and an injury to starter Linsey Denney kept Everton from throwing the pressure back on. But sophomore Paige Limpus hit for 9 second half points to help them pull within 2 starting the fourth. In the final frame, Sarcoxie’s solid backcourt took care of the ball, took advantage of the Everton foul trouble, and started penetrating to score. Holland had 9 more in the second half, but the Lady Bears got scoring from 5 different players to finish with the 47-37 win. No seniors on Everton’s squad and there is some potential there. Keep an eye on them as the year moves along, and next year.

Received the brackets on the Walnut Grove Holiday Classic tournaments yesterday. This has become probably the best small school girls basketball tournament in SW Mo if not the state every year. And the boys tournament is always very competitive also. This year is no different as the girls side features 11 teams that are very good including 3 final four teams from last year, and 2 other district champs. Miller grabs the #1 seed with Hannah Wilkerson continuing her quest for the all time scoring record. Defending champ Couch comes in at #2, a strong Ash Grove side coming off a win at last week’s Ash Grove Tournament at #3, and defending class 1 state champions Exeter are the #4 seed.
The boys side features Morrisville at the #1 seed with Shawn Artz and Nick Ruzicka leading the way. Fair Play comes in at #2 lead by senior Ryan Durst. With Bakersfield riding a good start grabbing the #3 seed.
