The Missouri High School Baseball Coaches Association announced their all-state teams for 2010 today. And as with all coaches selections, you get some bad with the good. First the good.
- The quiet type. A few teams that quietly had good seasons got rewarded including Liberal who saw three players selected headed up by sophomore Colton Selvey, a first team pitcher. Others deserving teams with all-state picks included Billings, Wheatland, and Monett.
- Young guns. Of the 48 area players honored 26 are underclassmen, including four sophomores and 2 freshmen. Stockton will be returning all five of their all-state players for next year.
- Not the usual suspects. It’s good to see some new teams have players honored. Exeter, Spokane, Mt. Vernon, and Parkview don’t exactly leap to mind when thinking of baseball powers, but each have a player selected this season.
Now the bad.

We have our first QotW controversy. Unfortunately, it’s affecting the extremely talented Kyle Poynter of Houston. I noticed this afternoon that Kyle had made a dramatic run up the rankings. Not that he doesn’t deserve it. Talented at football, basketball, & baseball, he plays all three sports extremely well. Some of you may even remember him [...]

Another fantastic year of Ozarks hoops. Three state titles courtesy of the Hillcrest boys, and Webb City and Mt. Vernon girls. Tons of teams in the state rankings all year. We saw Hannah Wilkerson run down the all time high school scoring mark, then make a run to Columbia. We witnessed possibly the national high school boys basketball highlight of the year when Trey Starks launched himself into the rafters of Mizzou arena and over Oakville’s Garrett Reeg. We prayed as Stephanie Phillips stopped coaching to renew her fight against cancer. And we rejoiced as she came back to guide her team to the final four. We followed the rise of newcomers to the state rankings. Verona and Richland on the girls side. Thomas Jefferson and Gainesville on the boys. We cheered all the buzzer beaters, big wins, great plays, comebacks, defensive stands, hustle plays, razzle dazzle, and gutsy losses. And now, like always, we say goodbye to those seniors who gave everything they had for their schools, for their towns, and for us, and leave us with so many memories. Here’s the year in review.

Very limited schedule with the holiday weekend. In baseball, Mansfield dropped Ash Grove 15-5 in 4 innings. The Pirates held a 3-1 lead going to the bottom of the third. But the Lions would plate 8 runs in their half and not look back. Nathan Jones lead the way picking up the win and going 3 for 4 with 2 doubles and a triple at the plate.
But the big match last night was on the pitch as Springfield Catholic bested city rival Kickapoo 3-1. Veronica Renner got the eventual game winner from the penalty spot for the Lady Irish. Be sure to check out the full report with video at Springfield Soccer.

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.

A huge contest in Verona tonight as the Lady Wildcats were looking to rebound from a loss to Clever against state-ranked Purdy who knocked off Miller last week. And rebound Verona did as they win the Ozark 7 matchup 61-56 behind the 23 points of Tristan Carrasquillo. Jessica Smith added 21 for Verona, while Shelby White led Purdy with 20.
On the boys side, Parkview gives a big shot in the arm to their Ozark Conference title hopes knocking off Joplin 51-48. And Houston rides Kyle Poynter’s 36 points to a 84-83 double overtime win over Mountain Grove. Poynter hit a 3 as the 4th quarter buzzer went off to send the game to overtime tied at 66. Then hit the game winner in double overtime for the Tigers.
