This episode goes all-in on Missouri high school basketball, delivering a detailed breakdown of the state’s most competitive tournaments with insights from “Scoreboard Guy” Guy Newcomb. Highlights include Rogersville’s jaw-dropping 40-point win over state-ranked Whitfield, a statement performance that cements them as a serious contender. The guys also size up perennial powers, rising junior talent, and the loaded Nixa Invitational — including potential championship matchups.

Beyond the box score, the discussion digs into the realities behind the scenes: the ongoing debate over neutral-site playoff games versus packed local gyms, the cost and crowd-control challenges, and the heated politics of district seeding meetings. The segment also shines a light on key district races and gives overdue credit to standout programs like the Skyline girls, led by one of the most underrated coaches in the state.
