Neelyville girls basketball and the Ozark Foothills Conference Tournament Final. Those two things go hand-in-hand at this point. The top-seeded Tigers will look to continue their decade-long reign as tournament winners after handling No. 4 Greenville in its first game of the tournament. Defensive pressure and offensive rebounding were key for the Tigers as they throttled Greenville 65-31 to advance to the final of the OFC Tournament. Neelyville is looking to capture its 11th straight OFC Tournament championship.
