Class 5 Semifinal Updates

4:10 – We’re one hour away from the tipoff of Kickapoo vs Blue Springs on the girls side.  The Hillcrest boys will take on Park Hill South at 8:30.  We’ll have updates throughout the night right here.  The first girls semifinal is under way with nationally ranked Incarnate Word  with a 14 point lead over Ft. Zumwalt West midway through the third period.  This will be the fourth time in the last 20 years that the Ozarks has had both a boys and girls team in the final four of both of the biggest classes.  In 2005, Kickapoo sent both boys and girls on the class 5 side, with the Willard boys and Ozark girls in class 4.  Both of the girls teams won state titles.  Ozarks teams brought home three state titles in 2003 with the Kickapoo and Ozark boys, and Kickapoo girls getting the hardware.  And in 1990, the Marshfield girls won the only championship for SW Mo.  What will be this year?  We shall see, but it starts in less than an hour.

5:59 – Kickapoo 35, Blue Springs 33 as they head to the fourth.

6:22 – Blue Springs 52, Kickapoo 41 in the second class 5 girls semifinal.  Kickapoo had a 3 point lead with 6 and a half minutes to play but Blue Springs outscored them the rest of the way 19-3 to pull away.  Casey Carroll had 13 points to lead Kickapoo with Annie Armstrong getting 11 but it’s not enough down the stretch.  The Lady Chiefs will play tomorrow at noon agianst Ft. Zumwalt West for third place.

8:12 – Oakville 47, Christian Brothers College 44 in overtime in the first class 5 boys semifinal.

8:42 – Hillcrest starts out with a fantastic first quarter.  Hornets 15, Park Hills South 6 at the end of one.

Thanks to Morrisville head girls basketball coach David Francka for sending this in.  Stockton sweeps the coach of the year awards with Richard Driscoll being named on the girls side, and Mike Kenney on the boys.  Something scary to consider, four girls named to the team from Stockton and none of them is a senior.  Congratulations to all the players and coaches honored.
