Other champions crowned already tonight. Branson wins the Blue division 66-51 over Nixa. Mt. Vernon wins the Pink & White beating West Plains 49-29. And Norwood defeats Dora to win the Cabool Tournament. The Walnut Grove boys championship, the Richland title game, and the U.S. Bank final are all under way with the Gold division game soon to tip.
Webb City is the only area team to find the winners circle on the final day of the KTXR Lady Classic. The Lady Cardinals rebounded from their loss to Kickapoo to blast Lexington Catholic 62-26 in the 3rd place game. Glendale lost a heartbreaking 7th place game 53-52 to Shawnee Mission East. Nixa almost upended Midwest City in the 5th place game. But two Richa Jackson free throws sealed the win for the Bombers 52-50. And in a game just completed, Wheeling, IL hangs on to win 50-44 over Kickapoo. The Lady Chiefs were down 13 at the half but whittled the lead down until they were down 5 with 2 and a half minutes to play. But couldn’t get any closer. Great effort from Kickapoo and a deserved second place finish.

Shocker at Weiser. It’s no shock that Kickapoo could beat Webb City, but to do it 49-27 by only allowing the Lady Cardinals 5 points in the second half is stunning. Great defensive effort by Kickapoo and they ran out to a 25-6 first quarter lead.
Meanwhile at the Blue & Gold, Ozark escapes again with a 3 pointer at the buzzer again defeating Strafford 40-37. Isaiah Monroe hits the dagger tonight as Ozark advances to the Gold championship game.

What a day yesterday. Four games at the Blue and Gold. Then the KTXR Lady Classic first round with Webb City’s 65-62 overtime win over Midwest City capping off a tremendous day. Here’s a few thoughts from each game before we get to the scores.
Blue and Gold
- Nixa 69, Willard 59 – Nixa is deep, talented, disciplined, well-coached. The only thing that keeps me from saying they are a serious state-title contender is the lack of go to player. But I could very easily see freshman Jalen Norman becoming just that type of player by the end of the year. Continue reading 2009 Holiday Tournament Week – Day 2

Alright folks. Here’s the schedule for tomorrow. As for me, I’m taking the day off from my real job to catch a basketball coma. I’ll be at Hammons Student Center to watch the Blue division of the Blue & Gold. Then I’ll be off to Weiser Gym to catch the KTXR Lady Classic first round. I’ll be doing my best to post updates throughout the day. If I survive, I’ll have a full report Tuesday.

Received the brackets on the Walnut Grove Holiday Classic tournaments yesterday. This has become probably the best small school girls basketball tournament in SW Mo if not the state every year. And the boys tournament is always very competitive also. This year is no different as the girls side features 11 teams that are very good including 3 final four teams from last year, and 2 other district champs. Miller grabs the #1 seed with Hannah Wilkerson continuing her quest for the all time scoring record. Defending champ Couch comes in at #2, a strong Ash Grove side coming off a win at last week’s Ash Grove Tournament at #3, and defending class 1 state champions Exeter are the #4 seed.
The boys side features Morrisville at the #1 seed with Shawn Artz and Nick Ruzicka leading the way. Fair Play comes in at #2 lead by senior Ryan Durst. With Bakersfield riding a good start grabbing the #3 seed.

But Kickapoo comes up one game short falling to Lee’s Summit West 75-63 in the finals of the William Jewell Tournament Cardinal Division.
