On a wild Saturday of playoff action, six OS.Net teams punched their tickets to the final four. Including the Dadeville boys who won their anticipated matchup with Thomas Jefferson 63-55 in overtime. Zach Medley lead the Bearcats with 23 points hitting five three pointers including a buzzer beating 70 footer going into halftime. The Thayer girls are going to their first final four as Kaley Hebert’s 20 points lead them past Meadow Heights 51-40.
Unfortunately, the road ended for a few area teams also. The Stockton girls saw their season end 46-30 to Maryville. Verona stayed with undefeated Montrose the majority of the game. But when Tristan Carrasquillo fouled out with 6 minutes to go and Verona trailing by 2, Montrose’s Morgan Eye took over. Eye would finish with 29 points as the Lady Wildcats fall 61-50. The Frisco League saw their two remaining teams fall short of Columbia as the Stoutland boys lost to Wellston-Eskridge 68-55, and the Richland girls couldn’t get past Canton, falling 76-54.

Purdy and Miller went to overtime for the second time this season with Purdy’s Addy Roller hitting a late three to get it there.

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 lead, and ended the first period up 16-4. The lead would swell to 16 and then things got really bad. Trailing 23-9, the Trojans leading scorer Levi Roberts sprained and ankle and left the game for the rest of the half. At that point, Roberts had 8 of Southwest’s 9 points. Big trouble right? Not exactly. Josh Hartin scored 5 second quarter points and Josh Cutberth hit a big 3 as part of a 10-3 run to whittle the TJ lead down to 26-19 at the half.
In the second half, 6 was the important number. That was as close as Southwest could get cutting the lead down to 6 on 5 separate occasions. But they couldn’t break through. Hartin scored 11 points in the half, but the TJ big men, Jordan Stauffer and Alex Oserowsky combined for 15 second half points, the Cavaliers controlled the pace of the game, and took care of the basketball against the Trojans pressure to hold off any comeback. Stauffer and Hartin tied for high game honors with 17 points each. TJ goes to 18-1 with the victory and secures a share of the Ozark 7 title with Southwest.

CLASS 1
- Dadeville
- Thomas Jefferson
- Dora
- Fair Play
- Niangua
Considered: Bakersfield, Walnut Grove, Wheatland
So far Dadeville has done nothing to disappoint, they look as good as expected. Jordan Stauffer has TJ looking even better than expected as they continue to overpower teams. Dora has torn through the Koshkonong Tournament, Koshkonong, & Couch so far. Fair Play already owns a win over Wheatland and 2 wins over Greenfield. New coach Charley Parker has Niangua off to a great start. Including a win over Walnut Grove.

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, and the Wildcats have reason to hope.
The game itself was entertaining. Cassville jumped out to a 7-2 lead only to see Crane reel off a 10-1 run and finish the first quarter up 12-8. Cassville stayed in the game though not letting Crane pull away until a 12-2 run in the third quarter game them some breathing room. Cook had 14 points in the first half, and 13 in the second, most of them answering each Cassville attempt to get back in the game. And they wouldn’t as the Pirates outscored them in each quarter to get the win.
