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.
And in Republic, the #6 seed Cassville Wildcats had been knocking on the door of a signature win for the last few weeks. After losing to Monett at Monett by only three points, they seemed poised to make the jump. And jump they did as they drop Monett in the rematch 64-38. Travis Northern leads three Wildcats in double figures with 14 points as they move on to face #2 seed Reeds Spring Thursday.

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 Bears to leave Houston with the win. Five shots from behind the arc and a 19 for 20 performance from the free throw line highlight Poynter’s night.
Four conference championships got wrapped up also. In the marquee matchup, Nixa nipped Branson to win the COC Large and go to 25-1 on the season. Jordan Keeney lead the way with 24 points. Despite losing to Bolivar 72-69, Rogersville still claims the COC Small title via Marshfield’s 69-62 win over Reeds Spring. The Wolves would have claimed a share of the title with a victory. Hillcrest is the undisputed champion of the Ozark Conference with their 67-47 win over Marshfield. And Strafford claims the Mid-Lakes crown by downing Fair Grove 52-46.

Change is in the air as some new faces have a real shot to rise to the top this year. And don’t sleep on the small school. Zach Medley and Brock Toler of Dadeville, Alex Oserowsky of Thomas Jefferson, and Wheatland’s Clay Crouch are all players to catch in action. If your looking for guys who can flat fill up a score sheet, and SCA game should provide you a good chance to see someone go big. Derek Daniels of Mt. View-Liberty, Willow Springs Stephen Mallow, Houston’s Kyle Poynter, and Pete Leonard of Ava should all be among the area scoring leaders. And if you’re looking for great team play, the list is long. Ozark, Nixa, Dadeville, Miller, Seneca, Stoutland, Laquey, Blue Eye, Southwest, Rogersville, Reeds Spring, Greenwood, etc. Star players? Got em. Hot rivalries? Yep. It’s all here this year. Bring it on!

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.

11:35 PM - McEachern 66, Central 48. Down only 29-21 at the half despite only shooting 29.4%, the Bulldogs would continue to misfire early in the second half and the Indians were not seriously challenged from halftime on. Central finished with 30% shooting for the game and were outrebounded 47-33. The Bulldogs could only manage 2 players in double figures with Thomas Chadwick scoring 13 and Nathan Wood 10. Top recruit Trae Golden lead all scorers with 24. Teammates Alioune Diouf hit for 11 and Colin Reddick 10 as the Indians move on to play Olympia at 9:30 tomorrow. Central will clash with Ozark at 8.

The seeds hold up in the blue division as #1 Ozark outscores #2 Glendale 41-29 in the second half to win the Blue Division championship. Four Tigers scored in double figures, lead by Isaiah Monroe with 17, to more than offset the 25 points of Glendale’s Trey Starks. In the 3rd place game, Kaleb Roy of Aurora scored 23 to lead the Houn Dawgs past Clever.
And Branson makes it a COC sweep downing Nixa 39-38. As they did throughout the tournament, Nixa made defense their focus but couldn’t get a score down the stretch to retake the lead. Central finishes the tourney in style shutting Mt. Vernon down in the 3rd quarter to come from behind and take 3rd in the Gold Division.
