1/22/2011 scores

An action packed Saturday of basketball end with a big bang as Glendale beat Kickapoo for the first time in 9 years to win the Glendale Winter Classic 79-75.  Mason Hodges is named the tournament MVP for Glendale.  Not only does this throw another monkey wrench in the ‘best team in the Ozarks’ discussion, it could have big implications come district time.

On the ladies side, Couch takes the title at the Thayer Winter Classic from the home team with a 55-53 win in the championship.  The Lady Indians haven’t lost since dropping 2 games at the Walnut Grove Holiday Classic.

Other champions crowned include the Willow Springs and Monett girls, and the Cassville, Hillcrest, Dadeville, and Mt. View-Liberty boys.
