Still utterly shocked Braymer knocked off Jefferson (Platte Valley)! Their noon semi vs. Dadeville looks pure tossup. The other one I like Chadwick and would say they are favorites to win this class given what Hartville presented in C2 last night and those are 2 of their 3 losses.

and Webb City could never beat the Hawklets

1000 pardons

The Advance volleyball team avenged its only loss thus far before it sustained its second defeat of the season in a 25-21, 18-25, 21-25 loss to Lindbergh in the championship game of the Second Annual Jackson Tournament on Saturday at Jackson High School.

It was the only loss of the day for the Hornets, who advanced to the championship game after picking up a vengeful 25-13, 27-25 victory over the host Indians in the semifinals. Jackson had handed the defending Class 1 state champion Hornets their first loss of the season on Sept. 21 at the Lady Indians Showcase. Advance (25-2) downed Class 2 state runner-up Arcadia Valley 25-18, 25-08 in the first round of the Gold Bracket. The Hornets did not drop a single set and posted a flawless 8-0 record in pool play to proceed to the Gold Bracket.

The host Indians posted a 6-2 record to come out second in their pool behind the eventual tournament champion Flyers. Jackson (17-7-3) knocked off defending tournament champion Mehlville 25-18, 25-23 in the first round of the Gold Bracket before falling to Advance in the semifinals.

Perryville finished 7-1 in its pool with its only blemish coming in its last game with Mehlville, which was a dead split (25-13 both sets). The Pirates (20-6-2) came out second in Pool A behind Advance and went on to fall in the first round of the Gold Bracket to Nerinx Hall (25-20, 26-24).

Hartville looks every bit the best so far. Very smooth O hitting 3s (one right at the buzzer) while Weaubleau keeps trying to go inside not working out at all plus their 3s look wild so far. Shall see what happens but so far gotta wonder if that Eugene game was the title decider?

Grandview at Pembroke Hill. We have already seen more than one major upset both boys and girls BB where a (heavy) favorite got shocked in a road district playoff game (two involved Kearney) and this could be today's! Staley is also playing at NKC still think the Falcons are the hottest team going in this area right now but another to definitely watch (will do so on MSHSAA. tv with updates today)!

Nm

Can not believe they loose control and have to end the game with 3:00 left. Terrible

By now this one needs no further intro. Winner hosts Columbia Hickman Saturday.

10-2 run to start the game for the hornets

4:40 left in 1Q

It seems like that after both Wade and Willis testified under oath in Georgia last week that their relationship didnt start until 2022, but attorneys for Trump submitted cellphone records today showing thousands of texts and phone calls between them in 2021 and before. Also show Wade going to her home over 30 times in 2021.

This combined with a witness testifying they were involved as far back as 2019 I would think would lead a judge to determine they both lied under oath and would need to be removed from the case.

Not a good look for the Georgia DA

Do I dare predict a STL privates sweep? Lift for LIfe in C4, John Burroughs in C5 and (drum roll) Incarnate Word in C6?

Only Congress through legislative action as spelled out in the enforcement clause has the authority to implement the 14th amendment

William Chrisman at Winnetonka tips at 5:30 PM then clear and re fill the gym then the creme de la creme of KC MO metro HSBB take center court as Oak Park collides with uber rival and defending C6 champ Staley at 8 PM.

This old man showing his age too worn out from last night and major project work and meetings today to go in person so will plunk down the 21 bucks and watch both from home!

Kickapoo 54
Republic 52


This was an amazing game

Tonka will now host a doubleheader tomorrow night hosting Chrisman for the C5 D8 title at 5:30 followed by OP-Staley @ 8:00 PM. Watching 10 PM news last night had no indication this was coming..................

Idk if anyone has already posted this on here but long time football coach Bill Fox passed away recently.


I was lucky enough to spend some time around ole Foxy around 16-17 years ago. Good guy.

RIP

Now come the defending champs who have really, really played well since the Holiday break in a true road game in what should be one of the best atmospheres of this or any other HSBB season! Coverage to begin around 4:45 PM.

Republic beat Nixa 3 times this season. Nixa again fails early in the post season.

Not sure how to post it, but did anyone else see the punch that Jadis took from the Charleston player last night? The composure of Jadis not to retaliate is unbelievable. Hats off to that young man.
