Potent Trio at Hayti
The tip-seeded Hayti Indians advanced to the championship game of the Gideon Tournament with a 68-62 victory over Clarkton. Hayti features a potent trio of guards in 6’3 2022 Trayvon Thomas, 5’8 2021 Tyliek Moore Tyliek Moore 5'6" | PG Hayti | 2021 State MO and 5’8 2021 Quindale Malone. Thomas and Moore finished with 22 points each while Malone added 14 points.
Thomas is an athletic bucket-getter who handles the ball and can score at all three levels. Moore and Malone are quick waterbug guards who can penetrate and knock down 3-pointers. Moore can really put in the points when he gets in a full lather.

The 6’2 Green swished a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Pirates a 62-61 victory over Southern Boone in the semifinals of the Tri-County Tournament at Blair Oaks. Green got the ball with five seconds left and executed two pump fakes before sinking his dramatic game winner.
Boonville’s individual standout of the night was 6’6 2021 forward Charlie Bronakowski Charlie Bronakowski 6'5" | PF Boonville | 2021 State MO , who scored 29 points.
