Two great runs in the class 3 & 4 playoffs this year. Starting in class 3, Rogersville used come from behind baseball to reach the final four, but the magic ran out. In the quarterfinals, the Wildcats rode a complete game from Randy Preslar and two 4 run innings to an 8-6 win over Carl Junction. Rogersville trailed 3-0 until they put up 4 in the third. The inning was highlighted by a Seth Conner 3 run homer. Rogersville then trailed 10-2 in their semifinal matchup with Bishop DuBourg. They rallied with 5 in the fourth and 4 in the sixth, but a couple of insurance runs kept them behind as they fell to the third place game with a 12-11 loss. The Wildcats tried a different approach in their final game grabbing a 6-2 lead, but Pembroke Hill plated 8 runs in the bottom of the fifth and held off the Wildcats 13-7.
Webb City faced off with #1 state-ranked Rock Bridge in the quarterfinals and eliminated them from the playoffs 5-2. Breckin Williams and Patrick Drake combined to allow the Bruins only 7 hits. Next up came the Tyler Burgess show in their semifinal showdown with Oakville. Burgess went 4 for 4 from the plate with 2 doubles, and went the distance on the mound allowing only 6 hits, walking 1, and striking out 9 to get the win 7-2.

The last I knew, Walnut Grove and Hermitage didn’t have football teams. But you couldn’t tell it from their score tonight. Hermitage missed an extra point in dropping a 28-13 decision to Walnut Grove. And I have an unconfirmed score of Liberal 28, Miller 0. But they do play football.
Elsewhere, Norwood picked up a big win over class 1 #2 ranked Dora 7-6. And Strafford used 5 home runs and a Rhett Parton 1 hitter to beat Ash Grove 25-0. Chris Berry had 2 of the 5 jacks including a grand slam as he drove in 8 runs.
And on the soccer pitch, Glendale’s Emily Cline netted a hat trick as the Lady Falcons ended Joplin’s run of shootout magic with a 6-0 win.

I promise that you will get no April Fools Day pranks here. Norwood’s opponents feel like a cruel prank has been played on them lately. After Riley Jenkins tossed a perfect game yesterday, Travis Coatney follows that act with a no-hitter tonight in a 17-0 win over Willow Springs. Coatney struck out 7 and walked 2 as he faced only 1 batter over the minimum. He also helped his cause at the plate driving in 4 runs. And Strafford Ethan Highley threw 3 perfect innings as the Indians dropped Mansfield 16-0. Rhett Parton swung the big stick going 3 for 4 with a double, a home run, 6 RBI, and 3 runs scored.

Freezing temperatures, snow on the ground, ice on the tress. That’s right. It’s spring in the Ozarks! So we’ll see if scheduled baseball and soccer games get played today. But the West Plains soccer team did officially start the season with two games in Harrison, AR Saturday. They split the two defeating Siloam Springs, AR 3-0 behind two goals from Tasha Ugbah and the goaltending of Sammi Phegley. They then lost to Little Rock Christian 4-1. Katie Shannon got her second goal of the day, but that was all the Lady Zizzers could muster.
And Waynesville had a Friday baseball game but dropped the decision 10-0 to Rock Bridge in Columbia. Webb City and Lebanon joined them as Webb won 15-2.
We’ll be shooting out some baseball previews this week as the season kicks off. We’ll have our eye out for all-state basketball teams. And I’m hoping to have some other interesting stuff in the works for you. Hello spring. Here we come.

A great Saturday of football. Some great performances, a couple of fantastic finishes, and three area teams took a step closer to state titles. The Big 8 had a big day. And a future high school legend took his last trip to the end zone.
