We kick off a beautiful Wednesday morning in the Ozarks with a massive hour of local sports talk! In this hour, we celebrate local racing legend Larry Phillips being selected for the 2027 Class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame, with Ned Reynolds sharing classic track announcer stories from the 1970s Fairgrounds Speedway. We dive deep into high school sports with two heavy-hitting local interviews: first, Nixa's elite three-sport standout Adam McKnight joins us fresh off his verbal commitment to the Missouri State Bears football program to discuss Coach Casey Woods' recruiting press and why he wanted to represent Southwest Missouri. Then, retiring Willard Tigers head baseball coach Scott McGee checks in to preview a stacked, state-ranked Class 5 district semifinal slate and talks about his upcoming transition to school administration at Republic. Plus, we react to Ivan Herrera's walk-off home run for the St. Louis Cardinals, state golf championships for Nixa and Gloria Deo Academy, and the crazy weather shakeup shifting the local Class 6 baseball districts to Ozark today.
