We have the first upsets of the district season tonight. Both on the boys side in class 4. At Eldon, Salem knocks off a good Owensville team 69-56. The Tigers entered the contest with a 6-18 record, but sent the 14-11 Dutchmen home for the year and march on to take on second seed Fulton.

50! Lot’s going on last night but we’ll start with that number. That’s how many points Houston’s Kyle Poynter scored in the Tigers 65-62 loss to Willow Springs. That ties the all-time school scoring record. But Poynter was not able to get a game tying three to go in the final minutes to allow the [...]

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 [...]
