2008-09 basketball year in review

Since we’re halfway through baseball season, I thought I’d better do our basketball review before it gets totally lost.  We’ll always remember this as the year of the ladies in the Ozarks as every state championship game features a team from SW Mo.  The Nixa Lady Eagles, Exeter Lady Tigers, and Sparta Lady Trojans each [...]

Webb City vs Platte County preview

Webb City vs Dexter preview

In a little under four hours, Webb City will take the floor against undefeated and #1 in state Dexter.  What they will find is a team very similar in some respects, and very different in others.

Class 4 & 5 basketball sectionals

In trying to decide our destination tonight, my stat keeper (and son) voted for Purdy to see the Lady Eagles light it up again or Bolivar for Branson/Central and Nixa/Neosho.  But I hold the keys and drive so I gave into the temptation to watch the Webb City/Republic rematch and Aurora take on Webb City.  [...]

On the hardwood.  Glendale won [...]
