Another fantastic year of Ozarks hoops. Three state titles courtesy of the Hillcrest boys, and Webb City and Mt. Vernon girls. Tons of teams in the state rankings all year. We saw Hannah Wilkerson run down the all time high school scoring mark, then make a run to Columbia. We witnessed possibly the national high school boys basketball highlight of the year when Trey Starks launched himself into the rafters of Mizzou arena and over Oakville’s Garrett Reeg. We prayed as Stephanie Phillips stopped coaching to renew her fight against cancer. And we rejoiced as she came back to guide her team to the final four. We followed the rise of newcomers to the state rankings. Verona and Richland on the girls side. Thomas Jefferson and Gainesville on the boys. We cheered all the buzzer beaters, big wins, great plays, comebacks, defensive stands, hustle plays, razzle dazzle, and gutsy losses. And now, like always, we say goodbye to those seniors who gave everything they had for their schools, for their towns, and for us, and leave us with so many memories. Here’s the year in review.

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. BASKETBALL BOYS Varsity
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 White led Purdy with 20. On the boys side, Parkview gives a big shot in the arm to their Ozark Conference title hopes knocking off Joplin 51-48.

Then hit the game winner in double overtime for the Tigers. BASKETBALL BOYS McAuley Warrior Classic

Saw a great early season game tonight in Miller as the Cardinals took on Clever. Clever was fresh off a championship in their own tournament while it was the first game of the season for Miller. The Cardinals jumped out to an 11-7 lead midway through the first period as Justin Jack hit two early 3-pointers. From there, Clever went on a 14-0 that extended into the second period. But now down 21-11, Miller responded with their own 8-0 run to get back in the game and they went to halftime with Clever leading 23-21. Miller had to feel good being down only 2 as they shot an abysmal 6 of 27 from the field in the first half. BASKETBALL GIRLS Carl Junction Classic
