Final Hartville 55 Camdenton 41
Bolivar will take on Sparta while Republic will take on Hartville on Wednesday night for a trip to the Blue Division championship. Camdenton suffers its first defeat of the season.
Hartville’s Jalon Cryer finished the game with 20 points.
4Q 2:35 Hartville 47 Camdenton 39
Lakers aren’t making much of a dent into the Eagles’ lead late. A Hartville vs. Republic semifinal appears to be in the works.
End 3Q Hartville 40 Camdenton 33
The Eagles are still playing tough defense while Camdenton is facing the threat of its first loss of the season.
Halftime Hartville 28 Camdenton 24
Hartville went into its keep-away offense and didn’t get many good looks to where Camdenton went on a little run before the end of the half. Still a good game.
Aaron Poage had 13 points for the Lakers. Jalon Cryer has 10 for the Eagles.
2Q 4:56 Hartville 22 Camdenton 15
The Eagles’ defense has clamped down and is playing the typical Hartville brand of defense that we’re used to.
End 1Q Hartville 15 Camdenton 14
Nice little back-and-forth game going on here. Weird to not see Hartville not holding on to the ball and playing a good half-court game. I’m a fan of how Hartville’s played in recent years and this is a bit different.
Final Republic 62 Hillcrest 55
The Tigers pull it out in the end. Ahlante Asdkew and Brenley Hagewood hit clutch shots to come away with the dub.
Ahlante Askew scored 23 with Brenley Hagewood scoring 16. Amarre Clark scored 19 for the Hornets.
4Q 1:47 Republic 54, Hillcrest 49
Ahlante Askew hit a 3 and just made a pair of free throws.
4Q 2:51 Republic 49 Hillcrest 47
Another Amarre Clark 3 and it’s a two-point game.
4Q 4:30 Republic 49 Hillcrest 44
An Amarre Clark 3 midway through the quarter has this game within five.
End 3Q Republic 44 Hillcrest 34
The Tigers turn it on in the third quarter and they have control of this one. Hagewood is playing well this afternoon.
Halftime Republic 30 Hillcrest 28
Another good game going on here with Republic and Hillcrest. Brenley Hagewood made a 3 right before the halftime buzzer to put the Tigers on top.
End 1Q Hillcrest 19 Republic 17
Republic was by far the best team I watched yesterday (I didn’t bother with the Nixa game) and Hillcrest leads the Tigers at the end of the first quarter. The 3-point shooting along with Amarre Clark have be solid so far.
1Q 2:39 Hillcrest 15 Republic 14
The Hornets have found a rhythm from beyond the arc and that’s a great equalizer against a team like Republic.
Final Sparta 60 Ozark 57
Jacob Lafferty scored 24 points to lead the Trojans to the tournament’s first upset. By far the best game between the two days thus far. We have ourselves a Cinderella.
Bolivar vs. Sparta on Wednesday.
4Q 9.3 seconds Sparta 58 Ozark 57
Jacob Lafferty with a heck of a block on an attempted layup to tie the game. Sparta makes its two free throws. Ozark banks in a 3 with 9.3 ticks left.
4Q 0:24.2 Sparta 56 Ozark 54
Trojans split a pair of free throws. Ozark ball after a timeout.
4Q 1:45 Sparta 55 Ozark 54

4Q 5:06 Sparta 51 Ozark 49
End 3Q Sparta 47 Ozark 44
Jacob Lafferty hits a three-quarter court shot at the buzzer to give the Trojans the lead. Best game of the tournament so far.
Halftime Sparta 33 Ozark 32
We have the highest level of game of the tournament so far. Great first half here.
End 1Q Ozark 14 Sparta 14
A fun back-and-forth first quarter here in GSB.
