The 2015 version of the Show-Me Showdown is now history. Congratulations the new Missouri State Champions -
St Charles & Blue Springs South Boys and Incarnate Word Academy & Rock Bridge Girls.
As a long time attendee of the Missouri Final-Four I've enjoyed watching some very good teams and individuals and
this years show included many hi-lites...
Watching St Charles battle back from a big deficit to win the class 4 boys title over a Hillcrest team that upset favored
Rolla & Notre Dame in route to the title game.
Park Hills South under sized squad out man the young triple-towers (6-10,6-9,6-9) from Chaminade.
Blue Springs South winning the class 5 crown in convincing fashion in front of their HUGE following of loud n' proud fans was special.
Rock Bridge girls winning their 4th consecutive state title without the support of the their students or community.
There were many standout individual performances this weekend. A few that caught my attention include - Napessa Collier IWA, Alecia Sutton Parkway North, Sophie Cunningham Rock Bridge, Brady Petry Hillcrest, Casey Teson St Charles,
Kevin Puryear & Brandon Kilgore Blue Springs South, Jayson Tatum Chaminade,
Thanks to the Miz-Zou Arena folks, Harvey Richards & Kevin Garner and the many other MSHSAA folks that work hard
to make the Show-Me Showdown run smoothly.
I enjoyed visiting with many old and new friends of all ages from all corners of the Show-Me state that all congregate with one common denominator, their passion and enjoyment of high school basketball...
Hope we get the opportunity to do it all over again next March..!
My lovely wife Char & me enjoyed attending a total of 171 high school games in person this season and today I'm experiencing an advanced case of DB... ( ! )
Soon we'll be cruzzing the back roads of Mid-America in pursuit of curiosities just waiting to be rediscovered.
We do however have the Brick City (Mexico) June shootouts to look forward to.
8-9, 15-16, 22-23, 29-30 & tournament 12-13. Holler at Greg Buescher 573.682.4686 for more info.
Cya down the road... .. .O o-
