Lady Bulldogs move one step closer: Harrisburg routs Cairo in sectionals, move on to face Hamilton-Penney
3/12/2010
With five seconds remaining in the first half, Harrisburg desperately needed something big to shake off a Cairo team that simply wouldn’t go away.
Off an in-bounds play, Lindsey Roberts delivered the necessary blow, draining a three-pointer that gave the Lady Bulldogs a nine-point lead going into the locker room.
Harrisburg’s lead never got smaller than that in the second half, as Harrisburg cruised to a 49-32 victory over the Lady Bearcats in Wednesday’s Class 2 sectional at Moberly Area Community College, bringing the Lady Bulldogs to 28-0.

Late-season development highlights Lady Falcons’ year
3/12/2010
On paper, it would be hard to argue that there was improvement from last season to this season for the Fayette girls’ basketball team.
Sure, most people envisioned more than three wins. But every week this season, Fayette head coach Mike James consistently said this team was further along than last season’s team.
“Individually, I was happy with the way some of the girls developed,” James said. “If you compared last year’s statistics to this year’s, you’ll see that almost every girl who played the year before was significantly better. I think we took some baby steps in the right direction, but I don’t think you can say we were satisfied with the results.”

Undefeated, undisputed: Harrisburg girls claim district title over Salisbury, remaining unbeaten at 27-0
3/10/2010
It was exactly 365 days since the Harrisburg girls last lost a basketball game — March 6, 2009.
That game, a 32-30 loss to New Franklin in the district championship, left a terrible taste in their mouths over the offseason and throughout the 2009-10 season. The district title they felt should have been theirs last season was up for grabs against state-ranked Salisbury on Saturday at Moberly Area Community College.
This time, there was no misfortune in the closing moments of the game. The Bulldogs’ yearlong dream was achieved, remaining unbeaten at 27-0 this season with a 48-39 win over Salisbury, a team that hadn’t lost since its first game of the season on Dec. 1.

A near-miracle in Moberly: Fayette’s tremendous fourth-quarter rally comes up empty against Sturgeon
3/10/2010
It was going to take Fayette’s greatest effort of the season to beat Sturgeon, Fayette head coach Chris Kendrick said prior to Saturday’s Class 2, District 13 championship game.
With the stands filled to 75 percent of Fitzsimmons-John Arena’s capacity, what fans witnessed in the fourth quarter was, simply put, Fayette’s greatest effort of the season.
The problem was the Falcons trailed by 20 points at the start of the fourth quarter. Even though they outscored Sturgeon 28-14 in the final quarter, the Falcons’ dreams of a first district title since 2005 will have to wait another year, following a 70-64 defeat to an undefeated Sturgeon team, ranked second in Class 2.
