BROOKFIELD — In the wake of a 5-20 2021-22 season that never gained traction, thanks to a 0-7 start, that head coach Carey Davison strongly felt was attainable, Brookfield High School’s basketball Bulldogs will start fresh this winter.

In the wake of a second- consecutive state championship late last month, a Marceline High School softball Lady Tigers quintet has been honored by the Missouri High School Fastpitch Coaches Association with inclusion on the organization’s 2-tiers 2022 Class 2 All-State team. After two seniors and two juniors from MHS’ inaugural state title-winners of a year ago reaped All-State laurels from the coaches’ group, both then-juniors – pitcher Cassi Rodgers and third baseman Addison Huber – are holdovers on this year’s first-team, joined this time at that level by classmate Ella Lowe and junior shortstop/ pitcher Ireland Bloss and by junior catcher Emma Cathey as a second-teamer.
