The Missouri Basketball Coaches Association released their all-state academic teams last week and a number of Ozarks players were selected. 11 players were selected (two more than last year) on the girls side representing 11 different teams. Three of those came from the SCA conference, the most of any area conference. Elizabeth Chappell of Cabool, Mandy Riddle of Mt. View-Liberty, and Rachel Sirois of Salem.
On the boys side, Jeff Williams’ Joplin Eagles had three players of the 17 selected (also 2 more than last year). Devin St. Clair, Matt McCreary, and Phillip Davis. Having two players selected were Hermitage (Ben Salmon and Brent Collins) and Plato (Landon and Logan Justice).
As always, a huge congratulations to these kids, their parents and coaches for keeping the “student” in student athlete. And a special tip of the hat to those players who were selected for both the all-state and all-state academic teams. This year we have two, both on the girls side. Bridget Hanafin of Clever and Casey Carroll of Kickapoo.

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.

A night of upsets on the boys side tonight. State ranked Dadeville is handed their first loss of the year by a very good Weaubleau squad 52-48 making Dadeville 21-1 on the season. And you’ve heard me talk a bit about Levi Cook. Well tonight he steps it up and drops 30 for the Pirates as they beat Spokane 66-65. Jordan Lair lead the Owls with 22.
On the girls side, both class 1 ranked area teams kept rolling as Verona romped over Wheaton 63-18, and Walnut Grove took a 61-52 win over a strong Morrisville team.

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.

Change is in the air as some new faces have a real shot to rise to the top this year. And don’t sleep on the small school. Zach Medley and Brock Toler of Dadeville, Alex Oserowsky of Thomas Jefferson, and Wheatland’s Clay Crouch are all players to catch in action. If your looking for guys who can flat fill up a score sheet, and SCA game should provide you a good chance to see someone go big. Derek Daniels of Mt. View-Liberty, Willow Springs Stephen Mallow, Houston’s Kyle Poynter, and Pete Leonard of Ava should all be among the area scoring leaders. And if you’re looking for great team play, the list is long. Ozark, Nixa, Dadeville, Miller, Seneca, Stoutland, Laquey, Blue Eye, Southwest, Rogersville, Reeds Spring, Greenwood, etc. Star players? Got em. Hot rivalries? Yep. It’s all here this year. Bring it on!
