BASKETBALL GIRLS Varsity
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. BASKETBALL On the hardwood tonight, Sparta, Couch, and Osceola remained unbeaten as Brooke Stevens lead 4 Sparta players in double figures in their 66-45 win over Spokane, the Lady Indians cruised to a 55-24 win over Dora, and Jordan Garrison knocked down 24 points to lead Osceola to a 69-34 win over Butler. Christian County powers Ozark and Nixa both picked up wins. 75-56 was the score as the Lady Tigers downed Marshfield despite Amanda Gourley’s game high 21 points. While Nixa eased to a 69-43 victory over Rogersville. The boys side saw the finals of the Golden City Tournament get set as top seed Dadeville beat Lockwood 71-51. They will face Everton who pulled out a 55-54 win over Liberal on the strength of Garrett Gladden’s 28 points. And finally on the wrestling mats, Monett wrestlers Ethan Davis at 135, Kellen Bounous at 145, and Kyle Meyer at 152 all remained unbeaten as the Cubs went to 4-0 in duals this year dropping Carl Junction and Nixa by scores of 62-15 and 66-16. A number of big boys clashes this evening around the Ozarks. At Ozark, Branson ran out to a 22 point lead at the end of the first then held off Ozark from their to win 89-79. Mike Wiebe had 26 and Tate Unruh 24 for the Pirates. Seth Arnold lead Ozark with 26. At my favorite gym in the Ozarks, the Pit at Central, the Bulldogs won the showdown with Kickapoo 50-45 despite Alex Hall’s 21 pts. And in Thayer, the Bobcats win the rematch with previously undefeated Eminence 54-52 to move to 9-2 on the year. BASKETBALL Champions crowned tonight, Eminence wins the Cabool Holiday Tournament 59-49 over Thayer, Blue Eye takes the boys half of the Walnut Grove Holiday Classic 70-49 over Morrisville, while Couch downs Exeter 43-38 despite 24 pts from Whitney Edie to win the girls side. But Kickapoo comes up one game short falling to Lee’s Summit West 75-63 in the finals of the William Jewell Tournament Cardinal Division. The 35 points of West’s Mizzou signee Mike Dixon relegated the Chiefs to second. BOYS Cabool Holiday Tournament
The Bolivar girls got their first close victory of the year last night beating Republic 57-55. Supergirl & Co. built a big early lead then held off a late charge. Good balanced scoring for the Lady Liberators would seem to bode well for their post-season chances. In the Frisco League, the state-ranked [...] |
