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 bittersweet day today as we’ll say good bye to some of the greats in Ozarks basketball. Clever’s Jeremy Dresslaer, Mt. Vernon’s Zack Kleine, and Miller’s Hannah Wilkerson will each play their last high school basketball game today. And though we’ll most likely see them again in college, there’s always something special about the high school days. About playing for town and team. And each one of these three has been huge for all four years. Thanks for the memories Jeremy, Zack, and Hannah. Now go make one more.
Here’s our schedule for today.
- Noon – Class 3 girls 3rd place – Macon (26-5) vs Maryville (25-4)
- 1:40 – Class 3 boys 3rd place – Whitfield (21-11) vs Mt. Vernon (24-8)

On a wild Saturday of playoff action, six OS.Net teams punched their tickets to the final four. Including the Dadeville boys who won their anticipated matchup with Thomas Jefferson 63-55 in overtime. Zach Medley lead the Bearcats with 23 points hitting five three pointers including a buzzer beating 70 footer going into halftime. The Thayer girls are going to their first final four as Kaley Hebert’s 20 points lead them past Meadow Heights 51-40.
Unfortunately, the road ended for a few area teams also. The Stockton girls saw their season end 46-30 to Maryville. Verona stayed with undefeated Montrose the majority of the game. But when Tristan Carrasquillo fouled out with 6 minutes to go and Verona trailing by 2, Montrose’s Morgan Eye took over. Eye would finish with 29 points as the Lady Wildcats fall 61-50. The Frisco League saw their two remaining teams fall short of Columbia as the Stoutland boys lost to Wellston-Eskridge 68-55, and the Richland girls couldn’t get past Canton, falling 76-54.

Eight teams left in each division after last night’s state sectional action. And the Ozarks scored some big wins.
On the girls side, the big game was in Republic and I was there. Sparta and Miller went back and forth all night. But a bizarre turn of events early in the fourth quarter is what most people will remember. With the score tied at 43 and coming out of a timeout, one of Sparta’s players waited until Miller was about to inbound the ball at halfcourt before coming on the floor. As she ran onto the court, a bandage that was covering some blood fell off. The rules are very clear that a player that has any exposed blood must be subbed out for and the exposed area covered before they can play. No big deal right? No.

After an opening two days that saw few real upsets, Tuesday night made up for it in a big way. Leading the way was the boys side of the class 3 district at Stockton where all the lower seeds won including a 80-63 win by #8 seed Warsaw over top seed El Dorado Springs. Also winning were #7 seed Skyline, #6 Morrisville, and #5 Stockton. In Cabool, the host team, seeded second, was eliminated by the seventh seed Licking 66-59. And in Sarcoxie, #6 Purdy knocks off #3 Greenfield 68-49.
The upsets weren’t limited to the boys side either. In Dora, the fourth seeded host squad shockingly eliminated #1 Eminence 56-52. After being in and out of the state rankings most of the year, the Lady Redwings looked to not be challenged until the championship game. But the Lady Falcons send them home early and claim a spot in Saturday’s championship against Bakersfield.

50! Lot’s going on last night but we’ll start with that number. That’s how many points Houston’s Kyle Poynter scored in the Tigers 65-62 loss to Willow Springs. That ties the all-time school scoring record. But Poynter was not able to get a game tying three to go in the final minutes to allow the Bears to leave Houston with the win. Five shots from behind the arc and a 19 for 20 performance from the free throw line highlight Poynter’s night.
Four conference championships got wrapped up also. In the marquee matchup, Nixa nipped Branson to win the COC Large and go to 25-1 on the season. Jordan Keeney lead the way with 24 points. Despite losing to Bolivar 72-69, Rogersville still claims the COC Small title via Marshfield’s 69-62 win over Reeds Spring. The Wolves would have claimed a share of the title with a victory. Hillcrest is the undisputed champion of the Ozark Conference with their 67-47 win over Marshfield. And Strafford claims the Mid-Lakes crown by downing Fair Grove 52-46.
