A couple of rivalry games went different directions last night. Mt. Vernon cruised past Aurora 56-29. The Lady Mountaineers jumped out to a 26-9 halftime lead and added to that as they went along to get the Big 8 victory. While Kickapoo took control of the Ozark Conference race with a 55-50 overtime win over [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Miller’s four game run through the Walnut Grove Classic included a 45 point performance by Wilkerson in the final and netted her 36% of the vote. Coming in second was Lauren McCurry of Pleasant Hope who lead all scorers at [...]
There are pluses & minuses to being an amateur running a sports website without an editor. Minuses include not being able to get to everything I want, having a real job, and having my excellent readers correct me when my research, information, or spelling is shoddy. The pluses include me being able to do pretty [...]
Shocker at Weiser. It’s no shock that Kickapoo could beat Webb City, but to do it 49-27 by only allowing the Lady Cardinals 5 points in the second half is stunning. Great defensive effort by Kickapoo and they ran out to a 25-6 first quarter lead.
Meanwhile at the Blue & Gold, Ozark escapes again with a [...]
Now most of you know that Joboo loves me some small school ball. And that I keep an eye out for up & coming talent. With that in mind, I headed to Sarcoxie last night to catch the Everton Lady Tigers and Jessica Holland. She of the triple double to start the season. I arrived [...]
