The Marceline Tigers took the long road to Memphis last night for a District Basketball semifinal game against top-seeded Putnam County.  Marceline’s boys played close with the Midgets throughout the game, but came up just short.

 The Linn County Mustangs and Lady Mustangs are in a great position for success right now.  The teams are playing host to their own District Basketball tournaments, and have a home court advantage no matter what the scoreboard says.  The teams opened District play last night with games against Green City.

This week’s District Basketball season has one simple mantra...win or go home.  For the Brookfield basketball programs, the road to post-season glory would not be an easy one.  The Lady Dogs and the Dogs both received low seeds, and would have to face a pair of tough teams right off the bat at their tournament in Palmyra.

The District Basketball Tournament has begun for area teams, and the Marceline Tigers and Lady Tigers took off on the long drive to Memphis for their chance at the State Championships, happening later this month in Columbia.  The games from here on out are win or go home, and sadly, this is what happened to the Lady Tigers.  The Tigers won over Cairo to earn a second round game.

The Linn County Mustangs ended their regular season with a home win Friday night over Hale.

Friday night the Marceline Tigers and Lady Tigers ended their regular seasons in Paris for a Lewis and Clark Conference battle.  The Lady Tigers lost the opener, and perhaps more importantly, lost their starting point guard Abby Gauthier to injury.  The Tigers lost a close game in the nightcap.

Last week, the Brookfield  basketball program traveled to Huntsville for their regular season finale against Westran.

Last week, the Meadville Eagles and Lady Eagles wrapped up their regular seasons with a trip to Brunswick.  The teams came away with a pair of wins, and the Eagles ended their regular season with an undefeated record.

The Linn County Mustangs have played a pair of games recently at home, and split these contests against Northwestern and Brashear.

 Wednesday evening, the Marceline Tigers and Lady Tigers traveled to Salisbury for a pair of make-up games from earlier in the season.  Both teams ran into a pair of juggernauts, and came home on the short end of both games.

The march to the post-season continued last night for the Meadville Eagles and Lady Eagles, as the teams played a pair of games at Braymer.  The Lady Eagles took on Hardin-Central, while the Eagles took on Braymer.

The Marceline Tigers and Lady Tigers seasons have wrapped up at home, but the black and gold attack is still finishing up thier schedule on the road before next week’s District Tournament.
Last week, the teams traveled to LaPlata for a pair of games.  Last night, the teams traveled to Slater for a pair of Confrence games.

Last night, the Brookfield Bulldogs and Lady Dogs played their final home games for the 2010 season.
The teams hosted Trenton, and both squads came away with nice wins to send their seniors away with.

At last weekend’s MSHSAA State Wrestling Championships, Brookfield senior Austin Lindsay found himself in familiar, yet strange territory.  Austin was in line to win the 152-pound State Championship, a position he was used to.  But with that win, Lindsay would find himself in the unfamiliar territory of joining the 18 other four-time State Champions.
