Key conference matchups last night as we are in the last week of the regular season for classes 4 and 5. Webb City completes their undefeated run through the COC Large division with a 69-40 win over Republic. Kaitlin Jaeger leads the way with 24 points. Hailey Roderique continues her strong year with 20.
Kickapoo is one win away from doing the same in the Ozark Conference after knocking off Rolla 57-32. Fair Grove reminds everyone of what they’re capable of and throws a monkey wrench into the Mid-Lakes Conferece race with a 55-52 win over Stockton. And in the COC Small, both Catholic and Bolivar pick up wins. Catholic drops Marshfield 52-40, while Bolivar defeats Reeds Spring 67-31.
The big performance of the night though is on the boys side where Hurley’s Steven Jennings goes for 36 points in the Tigers 79-41 win over Bradleyville.

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
- Walnut Grove

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 bring home state titles with Sparta running the table at a perfect 31-0. Joining those three in the Show-Me Showdown finals were the Webb City Lady Cardinals & Skyline Lady Tigers who saw their quest to repeat as champs come up 1 point short. Columbia was crowded with Ozarks teams. The Bakersfield, Couch, and Fair Grove girls made the trip. As did the Chadwick, Laquey, Miller, and Blue Eye boys. The Blue & Gold was great. The Tournament of Champions was incredible. And we were treated to one of the best all around basketball seasons ever.
A couple of explanations before we continue. This year I’m naming a team & MVP for each class. I define MVP as the person who has the biggest impact on their team. In other words, take that player off the team and what is the effect? Player of the year is based solely on basketball accomplishments regardless of class. Who did the best relative to their competition. And game of the year means a game between two Ozarks teams. So you won’t see Central beating Rock Bridge listed. With that, here’s some notable moments from the 08-09 basketball season, our All-OzarksSports teams, and a list of seniors that we say ‘Good bye’ and ‘Thank you’ to.

Spent the evening in Purdy taking in the girls first round games. Top seed Miller looked sluggish, but still defeated Greenfield handily 70-46 with Hannah Wilkerson scoring 32 points. Coach Brandon Weiss told me that on the ride to Purdy he suspected that the girls weren’t quite focused and that certainly appeared to be true. The result should serve to get them sharp for the next contest though.
That will be against fourth seed College Heights who came alive in the fourth period to beat Jasper 33-29. Down by 3 early in the quarter, the Lady Cougars closed the game on a 9-2 run to punch their ticket to the next round.

I don’t think I’ll be allowed back into a Webb City girls game after watching them in a losing effort for the second consecutive time. Republic looks impressive in downing the Lady Cardinals 64-59 despite Kaitlin Jaeger leading all scorers with 18. The Lady Tigers get double digits from Jamie Holmes, Hannah Daniel, Kayce DuVall, & Alexis Edwards in getting their first COC win of the year. Exeter gets to 21-1 on the year by downing McAuley 75-52, while Sparta stays perfect with a 45-37 win over Crane.
All the top seeds won at the Weaubleau Boys Tournament, setting up a fourth meeting of the year between #2 seed Weaubleau & #3 seed Macks Creek Thursday night.

On a night usually dominated by girls basketball, it was the Hillcrest boys that stole the show upsetting Central at the Pit last night 61-56. Derek Chaney had 17 to help the Hornets bring Central down to earth after their big win over Rock Bridge Tuesday. Tied at the end of the third, the Hornets used a 8-1 run to grab the lead for good and take the win over the #1 seed in their district. Johnny Gray had 19 for Central.
Great action on the girls side also. I was at the Nixa/Webb City showdown last night. Webb City was playing their third game in three days and it showed against a Lady Eagle squad that is playing great ball. Up three at the half, Nixa turned up the defensive pressure coming out of the locker room. Webb City was able to pull within 1 at 34-33, but a 12-2 run for Nixa opened the game up. From there, Nixa was content to break the Webb City pressure and live at the foul line finally winning 61-43. Bethanie Funderburk led Nixa with 19 points.
And in a big Frisco League showdown, state-ranked Laquey held off Richland 71-69 behind 19 points from Emily Murray.

The game of the night is on the boys side as Mansfield and Fair Grove go four extra periods to settle their contest. The Lions Nathan Jones scored 23 and hit 7 threes to help Mansfield outlast the Eagles 82 – 77. It was inside vs outside with Mansfield tossing in 12 threes on the night to Fair Grove’s 1. But Justin Cleeton and Matt Loyd provided plenty of punch for the Eagles scoring 23 & 24 pts. Mansfield rallied from 7 down to start the fourth to send the game to bonus basketball.
Miller’s scoring machine Hannah Wilkerson has the top individual performance as she went for 42 points to lead the Lady Cardinals to a 69-63 win over a good Ash Grove squad. Honorable mention to Thomas Jefferson’s Alex Oserowsky who had the big double double scoring 23 and grabbing 16 rebounds in the Cavaliers 67-64 loss to Southwest.
