And big shout out and thank you to Jack Hittinger at the Waynesville Daily Guide for getting this to me. State champion Hillcrest sweeps the boys all-conference awards in the Ozark Conference. The Hornets Doriel Green is named player of the year. And coach John Schaefer claims coach of the year. And on the girls [...]
Since I was running all over the country Saturday and could only Twitter updates, here’s the wrapup on the final day of Show-Me Showdown I for 2010.
We got a good omen right off the bat as O’Hara, who Webb City defeated in the semifinals, won the class 4 girls 3rd place game 40-37 over St. [...]
4:10 – We’re one hour away from the tipoff of Kickapoo vs Blue Springs on the girls side. The Hillcrest boys will take on Park Hill South at 8:30. We’ll have updates throughout the night right here.

CLASS 4
At Hammons Student Center, Springfield
Girls – Webb City 57, St. James 36
Last year, the key to beating Webb City was to beat their press and stop Kaitlin Jaeger. But as Webb City displayed Saturday against St. James, even if you do hold Jaeger down this year, you’re still likely to get smoked. Balanced scoring [...]
Maybe tonight will finally wake up the rest of the state to what’s going on at Thomas Jefferson in Joplin. The Cavaliers go to Washburn and get revenge for their only loss of the season knocking of the #10 team in class 3, Southwest, by a final score of 48-41. The Cavaliers took a 9-0 [...]

With this years Tournament of Champions fresh in our memories, this week’s QotW asks which player will we hear the most from in 10 years. MVP Joe Jackson of White Station is the obvious choice after 2 years of brilliance. But Hillcrest’s Doriel Green also had a strong tournament. Maybe Fab de Melo who’s bound [...]
White Station 77, Kickapoo 66 – A valiant effort by the Chiefs comes up just short as this game was close until late in the fourth quarter. Brodie Wingert was saddled with foul trouble. But Chris Underwood and Cody Anderson both had strong games to pick up the slack. Joe Jackson continues to play big [...]

Shocker at Weiser. It’s no shock that Kickapoo could beat Webb City, but to do it 49-27 by only allowing the Lady Cardinals 5 points in the second half is stunning. Great defensive effort by Kickapoo and they ran out to a 25-6 first quarter lead.
Meanwhile at the Blue & Gold, Ozark escapes again with a [...]
