Final Day Show Me Showdown II Updates

And here we go folks, the final day of basketball for the year.  One team was expected to be here.  One operated under the radar without many folks noticing.  But both Mt. Vernon and Thayer will try to make history today.  Here’s our schedule.  We’ll start the updates as soon as we can.

  • Noon – Class 3 girls championship – Cardinal Ritter (26-4) vs Mt. Vernon (29-3)
  • 1:40 – Class 3 boys championship – Cardinal Ritter (26-4) vs Hogan Prep (23-6)
  • 3:20 – Class 2 girls championship – Thayer (28-3) vs Harrisburg (30-0)

12:32 – We’re at halftime of the class 3 girls state championship game and Mt. Vernon is up 17-8 over Cardinal Ritter.  Just brutal defense from the Lady Mountaineers so far.  Only 7 total points scored in the second quarter as Mt. Vernon had a 14-4 lead after one.

12:56 – The Lady Mountaineers 3 point shooting helped them open up a sizable lead and they’re now up 37-17 with 5 minutes in the fourth quarter.

Day 1 Show Me Showdown II Updates

Six games to cover today as teams try to move into the ultimate high school game, the state championship.  We’ll pick up our coverage just before the 1:40 start of the Clever boys taking on undefeated Sturgeon, and the Mt. Vernon girls facing Maryville. We’ll keep going right through the 8:20 finale between Miller and 29-0 Harrisburg.  Losers play Friday for third, winners play Saturday for all the marbles.  Should be a great day.

1:32 – And it’s just about go time for the Clever boys and Mt. Vernon girls.  Lawrence County is in the house with both Mt. Vernon team and the Miller girls.  And just missed getting Verona in too.  Big year for the LC.  In the early games Bernie pulls out a 1 point win over Wellston-Eskridge 69-68, and the defending class 3 girls champs Cardinal Ritter handle Macon 50-42.

2:03 – First quarter scores courtesy of The Scoreboard Guy.  The Sturgeon Fightin’ Fishes have jumped all over Clever 19 to 6.  And the Mt. Vernon girls hold a 12-9 lead after the first quarter.  Both teams are very good defensively.

Class 1, 2, & 3 Quarterfinal Update

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.

2/12/10 Scores

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 a strong ‘Game of the Year’ candidate as the Richland Bears welcomed Frisco League rival Licking in for Homecoming.  The Wildcat’s Ben Denbow registered a double double with 25 points and 10 rebounds while Josh Hood scored 28.  Richland countered with guard Pat Poston scoring 38, but it was Jacob Shelton’s jumper from the wing as the buzzer sounded that game the Bears a 91-90 win.
