Day 2 at the Blue and Gold

Well day 2 proved as always to be my favorite day of the Blue and Gold, we still had some big school, small school matchups to keep the attention of the fans. Game one although did feature the only Big-Big matchup in the Blue Division as Nixa took on Willard. Nixa comes out on top by ten 69-59. In game 2 of the day Bolivar jumped out to a 13-0 lead on Clever and at the end of one quarter the Liberators were on top 24-6. But after two timeouts the Blue Jays came roaring back outscoring Bolivar 20-9 in the second quarter. Clever finally gains the lead with 4 minutes to go and behind 22 pts from Jeremy Dresslaer and Joey Smith. Preston Guiot put in 23 for Bolivar but it wasn't enouph. A Bolivar timeout which resulted in a Technical Foul as they had already called thier last and an intentional foul against Prest Guiot helped seal the victory for Clever. The third game was over relatively early as Branson easily took care of Stoutland behind 26 from Avery Dingman. In the final game of the session Miller hung around with Kickapoo until a late 3rd and early 4th quarter run put the Chidfs up 67-45. The most interesting point of the game was the few minutes where the Cardinals had Freshmen Riley Jack, Junior Justin Jack and Senior Derek Jack all on the floor at the same time. Tommorows mathups will be number 1 seed Nixa vs the crowd favorite Clever followed by Branson vs Kickapoo.
