GIRLS CLASS 4 District 10 at Rogersville
Next: 2/26 – Championship – #1 West Plains vs #2 Marshfield District 11 at Republic
Next: 2/26 – Championship – #1 McDonald County vs #2 Republic 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.

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 a little late and by the time I got settled in, Everton was already down by double digits. But they started to hit some shots, applied the press, and started to chip away at the lead. Holland at 5′ 9″ had a few inches on the Sarcoxie guards and decent speed, allowing her to go inside and outside pretty confidently. Sarcoxie lead 24-18 at the half and I had Holland for 8 points in the time I had been watching. In the second half, foul trouble and an injury to starter Linsey Denney kept Everton from throwing the pressure back on. But sophomore Paige Limpus hit for 9 second half points to help them pull within 2 starting the fourth. In the final frame, Sarcoxie’s solid backcourt took care of the ball, took advantage of the Everton foul trouble, and started penetrating to score. Holland had 9 more in the second half, but the Lady Bears got scoring from 5 different players to finish with the 47-37 win. No seniors on Everton’s squad and there is some potential there. Keep an eye on them as the year moves along, and next year. 2009 Big 8 All-Conference Volleyball Team First Team

Well there was some outside activity yesterday. Unless they’ve started playing high school golf indoors which I wouldn’t be surprised at. The Ozark Conference held their girls gold tournament yesterday and Kickapoo won their fourth straight title. But only by one stroke over second place Hillcrest. West Plains’ freshman Emily Odom took medalist honors with a 77. GIRLS GOLF Ozark Conference Tournament, Horton Smith Golf Course, Springfield Team results 1. Kickapoo – 346  The Cassville volleyball team at attention for the national anthem. Volleyball season is up & running now. And I attended a very entertaining match last night as McDonald County traveled to Cassville. The home team got out to a good start and took the lead early in the first set. But after a timeout, the Lady Mustangs rallied behind the play of Ryan Parsons to take it 25-17. The second set was a reversal as Cassville controlled play and the Ladycats Marti Richmiller started to assert herself. Richmiller would finish with 12 kills & 9 assists and Cassville took the second set 25-17. The final set was back & forth all the way. Cassville’s Emily Orrell made some key digs to overcome some unforced errors on Cassville’s side. But in the end, Parsons’ tough serving (she would finish with 5 aces) gave McDonald County just enough margin to win the third set 25-22 & take the match. Both teams looked a little rough, but all in all, it was a good match to start the season. Neither side will be an easy match for any team. Now, onto the days scores. VOLLEYBALL Varsity
