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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
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.
