Today marks the first day of fall sports’ championships as girls golf is underway in Springfield and Joplin, the first of two days…two rounds…two classes.  The first pairings tee’d off at 9 a.m.  For results throughout the day, you can click on MSHSAA’s website.

Later this week, team tennis championships will get started on Thursday at the Cooper Tennis Complex in Springfield, followed by individual and double championships this weekend.

Softball wrapped up districts this week and sectionals start midweek and volleyball and other sports get rolling with district play.

Plus we hear from North Shelby Head Football Coach Todd Cripe after his Raiders football team defeated Missouri Military Academy 34-33, ending a 63-game losing streak that started back in 2009, but ended Friday night.
