Glasgow Tournament Roundup
Championship Games Tonight
Both No. 1 seeds in the Glasgow Tournament and one of the No. 2 seeds lost midweek, leaving today’s championship games between a No. 2 seed, a No. 3 seed, and two No. 5 seeds after a wild week of high school tournament basketball action. Neither winner from last year will defend their titles in tonight’s championships.
The second-seeded Harrisburg R-8 School District girls will face fifth-seeded Marceline for the tournament title at 6 p.m. The fifth-seeded New Franklin boys will face third-seeded Westran for the boys' championship at 7:30.
For the first time in five years, the Cairo girls did not make the finals. After winning the tournament seven out of the last eight seasons, the top-seeded Lady Bearcats will play for third place against sixth-seeded New Franklin R-1 Schools.
Second-seeded Harrisburg R-8 School District was denied a title defense after falling 49-42 against Westran in Friday’s semifinal. They will face the top-seeded Glasgow Yellowjacket Basketball, which lost a heartbreaker to fifth-seeded New Franklin High School Boys Basketball in double overtime in the semifinals on Thursday. Westran, the third seed, will tip off against New Franklin R-1 Schools for the boys' title at 7:30 p.m.
The final day of the tournament opens with consolation games. The fourth-seeded Glasgow School District girls will take on Westran, seeded third, at noon. Glasgow, shorthanded without the Lady Jackets’ top scorer, lost its first-round game to Marceline by nine points, but rebounded in a dominant performance over bottom-seeded Slater in the semis.
The Marceline boys will take on bottom-seeded Slater for the boys consolation trophy at 1:30 p.m. Slater defeated seventh-seeded Fayette R-III High School 70-66 in overtime in Friday’s nightcap, sending the Falcons packing with two losses.
The Fayette R-III High School girls also made a quick departure after falling to longtime nemesis Westran 52-32 in the semifinals on Friday. The Fayette Lady Falcon Basketball are 1-2 overall, having defeated Class 4 Marshall in the season opener before falling to Harrisburg in the first round of the tournament.
