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 [...]

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 [...]
