The Bunker Boys Basketball Eagles finished off an incredible season Saturday at the Mizzou Arena in front of a huge contingent of Bunker supporters as the Eagles won the Class 1 State Championship and finished the year with an incredible 30-2 record. To get to the final, Bunker beat Faith Christian Academy on Friday in the semi-final by the score of 64-50 with Brennen Meloy finishing the game with 33 points as he personally hit 11 of 13 free throws down the stretch to seal the win over the Knights. The Eagles as a team hit 17 of 21 free throws in the game. Jayton Skaggs added 12 points for the
Eagles who held the lead the entire game except for 10 seconds in the 1st quarter. The win by Bunker Friday gave them the right to play for the championship Saturday against Brunswick who defeated Kingsville in the other semi-final on Friday, 73-54. In the championship game, Meloy had a double-double as he scored 33 points for the second straight game and pulled down 10 rebounds to lead the Eagles to the 61-54 win. He also finished seven of eight from the free throw line with all of his attempts coming in the 4th quarter. Owen Sanders ended up with 12 points and two blocked shots in the game. All the players and coaches received Missouri State High School Activity Association 1st Place Medals on the floor after the game as well as being awarded the 1st Place MSHSAA Show-Me Showdown trophy. Congratulations again to the Bunker Boys Basketball Eagles on a truly memorable season!

The St. Louis Cardinals had a pair of Spring Training games over the weekend. On Saturday against the Marlins, Nolan Gorman hit a home run in a game that saw plenty of late scoring. However, mother nature ended the game early with both Miami and St. Louis tied at seven. Yesterday a big three-run home run by Nelson Valázquez put the red birds on pace to defeat the Nationals, 6-3. Spring Training wraps up this weekend, and the Cardinals are scheduled to play their first game at home against the Tampa Bay Rays, Thursday, March 26th.
