72-56. Cape missed 16 free throws throughout this tough game and was 11
of 25 in the key 4th quarter.
…crystal ball time!
It’s early but here’s some Feb 1 picks for some of the teams
that will make it to Columbia in March…boys-- Vashon Wolverines, Williard,
Rockhurst, Bell City; girls teams who have some successful veteran coaches
who have been there before— Jefferson City Jays (Doug Light) , Metro
(Gary Glasscock)
…you want points ???
How about this score from last week---Cleveland NJROTC 92 Construction Center
90. There were no overtime quarters! Construction Center only had 5 players
score!
…Yogi said it—“It ain’t over til it’s over”
Mehlville Lady Panthers trailed the Zumwalt South Bulldogs 43-37 at the
end of the 3rd. The highly ranked Panthers of Ed Feibig outscored the ranked
Bulldogs 23-7 in the final stanza to win going away 60-50.
… DeSmet Spartans have been in one close game after the other this
season. Recently, the Spartans lost in 2-OT to Troy, lost in OT to Jeff
City, beat Parkway West in 2-OT in Ameritime Tournament, the next night
lost to the Collinsville Kahoks 43-42 and lost to Hazelwood Central Hawks
on the 3rd night of the tourney 52-47 after holding a 36-29 lead through

to love these nail biters!
...Bouncing back
New Haven Shamrocks suffered their first loss 36-34 to the Linn Wildcats.
The next game saw the Shamrocks rock Chamois Pirates 65-45 to get back in
the wining column!
