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 [...]
The headline matchup of the night goes to the Webb City Lady Cardinals as the defeat Nixa 61-46 in the showdown of state ranked squads. Hailey Roderique lead the way in scoring with 21 points for Webb City. Kaitlin Jaeger registered a double double with 15 points, 11 rebounds, and blocked 6 shots.
And I attended [...]
It’s a night for overtime on the boys side as three games see bonus basketball. Marshfield needs every one of Utah Findley’s 28 points and Jared Greenlee’s 24 to down Catholic 63-61 in OT. State ranked Spokane recovers from a furious Clever rally to win in extra period 66-60 behind Dylan Price’s 29 points. Fair [...]
Great moment tonight in Morrisville as Hannah Wilkerson becomes the states all time leading scorer. Former record holder Melissa Grider was on hand in the town she spent her first three years playing for to present Wilkerson the game ball after the record breaking point early in the second quarter. Wilkerson would finish with 32 [...]
Some great matchups of top level teams last night. Starting on the girls side with Mt. Vernon traveling to Stockton. The Lady Tigers were on a roll coming into this game having beaten Skyline handily. But it wasn’t to be as the Lady Mountaineers take the 60-43 road win.
On the boys side, great finishes in [...]

Caught the Crane/Cassville boys game last night deep in Barry County. I wanted to get a first hand look at Crane’s high scoring guard Levi Cook, and see how and if the Cassville Wildcats were progressing under new coach TJ Dickenson. When the dust settled, Crane had themselves a 61-44 victory, Cook had 27 points, [...]
