Cardinals edge Neosho for title in Eagle Classic Neosho then couldn’t get off a shot in the closing seconds.
“This was a battle with a lot of effort,” Webb City coach Brad Shorter said. “Everyone got their money’s worth. Maybe neither team played exceptional. But each played well. “We’ve been trying to focus on defense and rebounding,” Shorter said. “Our players did a great job defensively down the stretch. I thought the defense also kept us in the game.” Savannah Snow’s 11 points to open the Neosho scoring in the second quarter gave it a 24-16 advantage at 5:16. Neosho led 31-26 at the half. Said Neosho coach Grant Young: “I thought, in the end, we beat ourselves. I believe we were 1-for-5 at the line in the last 1:45. We could have capped the win. “I thought Webb City played outstanding defense all four quarters,” Young said. “But we had a tougher time finding the open shots in the second half. “Savannah (Snow) probably played her best game of the season.” Jaeger scored 16, Hudson 12, 5-5 sophomore Sharenda Campbell 11 and Roderique and 5-7 sophomore Sammy Stroud nine apiece. Vlasin tallied 17 and Lorelei Snow 15 to support Savannah Snow for the Wildcats. Miller, 65-63 Wilkerson, a 5-7 junior all-stater, took a feed underneath from classmate Betsy Epps on an inbounds play to score as time expired to lift the Cardinals. Wilkerson spiced her effort by sinking 21-of-22 from the foul line.
