i believe the game is to be webcast on kfvs12.com for those who can't or don't want to make the trip over.

This should be a good game I THINK, I also thought Sikeston, and Jackson would have been closer. I will not get to see Bluff until ND plays them at home, but from what I've been told and what it looks like they have a solid team.

Roads are dry as a bone. Going to be a good game! Come over and watch it LIVE!!

If Sikeston plays to it's potential, it shouldn't be much of a game. I'm going to watch the powerhouse game between Gideon and North Pemiscot....now that will be a game.

BIG IF that is Sikeston playing to their potential. No idea whats going on but Sikeston will have to play well, or they will get surprised, although I wouldn't consider it a suprise.

so much for the surprise...sikeston poured it in in the 2nd half to run away with a 87-62 win. porter had 23 and sherwin jones dropped 16. i was impressed with the 'dogs ball movement tonight.

What's going on? Sikeston is 16-3 and beating their opponents an average of 20pts per game with the exception of one game against a good Jackson team, which is their only loss to a MO team. Give these boys some credit!

Sikeston is a good team, they just were down the night against Jackson. You can't judge a team for one or two losses in HS basketball. It's easy for these kids to get their mind off the game with other things on their mind like girls, school work, girls, homework, and girls. Give them a break.
