Five-vehicle accident, one fatality A five-vehicle accident on Highway I-44 claimed the life of a 43-year-old Rolla man. According to reports from the Missouri State Highway Patrol on Thursday, February 16 at 8:08 a.m. in Greene County on I-44 Westbound East of MO-125 in Strafford traffic was slowing and stopped due to previous crashes. A 2005 Kenworth Tractor Trailer operated by Narinder P. Singh, 44 of Mansfield, Texas was traveling in the right lane of I-44 and failed to observe the slow or stopped traffic. The driver attempted to swerve into the left lane to avoid a 2016 Kenworth Tractor Trailer operated by Curtis D. Epp, 52 of Henderson, NB. The 2005 Kenworth then struck the 2016 Kenworth causing the 2005 Kenworth to lose control. The 2005 Kenworth began to overturn as it partially entered the median striking the guard cable. The 2005 Kenworth then struck a 1997 Ford F-150 operated by Nathan S. Moore, 49 of Waynesville which was stopped in the right lane of I-44. The Ford F-150 traveled off the right side of the roadway, crossed the grass median and came to rest on the North outer road. The 2005 Kenworth then struck a 2008 Ford F-150 operated by David D. Lambeth, 43 of Rolla in the left lane, due to the impact the 2008 Ford struck the rear of a 2016 Freightliner Tractor Trailer operated by Thomas W. Massey, 67 of Klamath Falls, OR. As a result of the accident David D. Lambeth, 43 of Rolla was fatally injured. He was pronounced by Chief Forensic Investigator Tom Van De Berg. He was transported to Springfield Mortuary. All surviving drivers were tested for alcohol per Missouri Statute. According to reports all drivers were wearing their safety devices. The 2005 Kenworth sustained total damage and was removed by McDowells Wrecker. The 2016 Kenworth sustained minor damage and was driven from the scene. The 1997 Ford sustained total damage and was removed by A-1 Wrecker. The 2008 Ford sustained total damage and was removed by McDowells Wrecker. The 2016 Freightliner sustained moderate damage and was driven from the scene. The accident was investigated by Msgt. R.E. Proctor and Sgt. G.T. Curnes.

And now Districts. The Liberty Eagles finished the regular season under first-year Head Coach Yancey Walker with dominating victories, running away with a 78-39 victory against the Ava Bears on Senior Night at Liberty High School, and suffocating the typically high-scoring Cabool Bulldogs on the road with a 6740 win.

City council meets The Mtn. View City Council met at council chambers on Monday, February 13. Council approved the consent agenda consisting of approval of bills, advisory boards meeting minutes, city council meeting minutes from January meeting, city administrator report and monthly department reports. The motion to approve was made by councilmen Paul O’Brien, seconded by Lindell Vandevort with an all in favor. New business included the presentation of the 2015-2016 annual audit.

a rough one. Liberty led after the first quarter, but the Panthers outscored the Eagles 3016 in the second quarter, and dominated the second half for a 26-point win. For the Eagles to win the District Championship, they’ll have to get revenge on both. The Eagles play Licking on Thursday night at 7:30pm, and the winner will likely face the Panthers on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. for the Championship. “As we enter the playoffs, we just need to make sure that we have the correct mindset,”

explained Liberty Head Coach Yancey Walker on Monday before Districts, “It will take multiple great efforts to win our district. We are playing well right now, so we simply need to keep improving each day and each game.” If there was ever a time this season when one could say the Eagles were playing their best basketball, it would have been the final days of the regular season.

Thirty breweries and twelve area restaurants will highlight the 5th Annual West Plains BrewFest, set for 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, February 25, in the Arena and Exhibit Hall at the West Plains Civic Center. Doors will open promptly at 5:30 p.m.. Due to last year’s record crowds, organizers have expanded the space in the Arena to accommodate the needs of this event.

In 2012, then President Obama signed into law the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act. While this legislation prevented a scheduled tax increase on millions of middle class families, it also rightfully authorized states across the country to begin drug testing applicants for Unemployment Insurance benefits. Simply put, prioritizing help to those who are doing everything they can to get back to work and to get off of government assistance is not only a right, but a responsibility of your government in its obligation to be good stewards of valuable taxpayer resources. This important section of the law was authored by the Republican controlled House of Representatives, then signed by President Obama, and it overturned an earlier regulation that banned states from drug testing applicants for unemployment assistance. Unfortunately, soon after this new law hit the books – the same Obama White House that signed it started working behind the scenes, around Congress and behind the backs of the American people to circumvent it. They wrote rules and regulations out of the Department of Labor narrowly defining how, when, where and under what circumstances states may actually test for drug usage among applicants - all but nullifying the law a bipartisan Congress had passed and President Obama had himself signed. So when states like Wisconsin, Texas and others passed laws requiring the testing of Unemployment Insurance recipients for drug usage – they were unable to enforce them due to delays, obstructions and regulations from the Obama instructed Department of Labor. It is your hard earned tax dollars that are used to fund government and all its programs – as such your government has a fiduciary responsibility to you that it will be good stewards of those resources. Unfortunately we have a federal government that has grown too big, taxes too high and spends too much of your tax dollars on government programs stricken with widespread fraud and abuse. It is one of the reasons I will continue to advocate for a government that takes less and allows the American people to keep more. As such I have long advocated for things like drug testing and work or job training requirements for those seeking welfare support or unemployment assistance. In 2011, I helped co-author and support Missouri State House Bill 73 which required Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients be tested for illegal drug use. That bill garnered support from both Democrats and Republicans because making sure taxpayer resources aren’t used to support individuals who are using those same dollars on illicit and illegal drugs just makes sense. This week, with my support the House of Representatives passed a resolution to overturn the regulations used by the Obama White House which were preventing states from testing Unemployment Insurance recipients for drug usage. Our actions this week were to roll back and undo President Obama’s unfaithful execution of that 2012 law and to give states like Missouri the right to make sure hard working taxpayer dollars only go to deserving citizens. These are the type of common sense policies which make sense for thousands of private sector employers handing out a weekly paycheck and should as well for your federal government.

Another busy week has come to a close in Jefferson City, and just like many other weeks, quite a bit was accomplished in a short time. The senate was able to pass two bills that will assist in improving a business climate in Missouri. Senate Bill 237 and Senate Bill 45 both advanced in the Senate, and will help reform Missouri’s legal climate to attract more businesses and investment to our state. Senate Bill 237 modifies definitions of “employee” and “physician employee” in actions against health care providers for personal injury or death. This bill returns the law to the intention of the 2005 tort reform that the Missouri Supreme Court broadened. Senate Bill 237 fixes the definition of “employee” and restores the language to what was intended by the General Assembly in 2005. The previous definition caused expanded and unnecessary liability increases to premiums. Increased premiums drive up the cost of health care for both patients and businesses. If it becomes law, SB 237 will limit malpractice liability to the responsible party and keep health care costs down for Missourians. Senate Bill 45, modifies laws regarding arbitration agreements between employers and at-will employees. Mutual agreements, or arbitration agreements, between an employer and employee are a quick and cost-effective way to resolve employment issues. Senate Bill 45 reforms the arbitration process and will protect employers’ rights in arbitration agreements. The measure will ensure the arbitrator is mutually agreed to by both parties, and will allow businesses to better manage their legal risk. Arbitration is a lower-cost option than the court system process. I would also like to use this opportunity to reassure the constituents of the 33rd Senate District about the current budget negotiations. The governor’s proposed budget contains some cuts for services used by senior citizens and the disabled. The proposed budget would change the criteria for nursing homes and in-home care and has the potential to leave thousands of Missourians without care. Receiving services at home ensures that seniors stay connected with their community and maintain relationships with friends, neighbors and church or social groups. I want to assure you that I will do my homework and fully vet the proposed budget from the governor, and I will do everything possible within my power to continue to protect our senior citizens in the 33rd District and across the state of Missouri. I understand the seriousness of my position on the Senate Appropriations Committee and do not take lightly the decisions we are tasked to make. As always, I appreciate it when groups from around Missouri and from our community back home come to visit me at the Capitol. If you would like to arrange a time to come and visit me in Jefferson City, or if you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact my Capitol office at (573) 751-1882.

Child, family development degree opens door to many career options If you like working directly with children and families to help make a difference in their lives, the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Child and Family Development offered at Missouri State University-West Plains might be the degree program for you. “The AAS in Child and Family Development (CFD) prepares students to work in a wide range of human service careers, ranging from pre-conception to end-of-life stages of life,” CFD Professor and Department Head Dr. Renee Moore said. “CFD students find employment working with all ages across a variety of settings and are highly sought after by many local, regional and national employers. Students on the West Plains campus can obtain their associate, bachelor’s and master’s degrees in child and family development without ever having to leave West Plains.” Moore said the AAS in CFD degree program prepares students to work with all ages, typically and atypically functioning children and adults, and involves a great deal of hands-on, laboratory based experience. In addition, students network with the community through volunteer efforts, professional development experiences and class projects. Graduates of the CFD program work in a wide assortment of jobs, from parents-as-teachers, juvenile officers and nutrition educators to social services, childcare and Head Start staff, and many more. “In fact,” Moore said, “contact the CFD department to see a list of over 150 careers CFD majors are currently employed in.” Moore can be reached at 417-255-7925, or by email at ReneeMoore@MissouriState. edu. A STUDENT’S PERSPECTIVE Cory Neal, Mountain View, is currently pursuing the degree, and said he chose the program because of the many
career options available. “While many only view the degree for working in a daycare like field, there are so many other options that are available with the degree, from a daycare profession to counseling, working in public schools or private, from working with the Child Advocacy Center to working with the Children’s Division and everything in between,” Neal said. He plans to continue his education through the Missouri State Outreach program offered on the West Plains campus to complete his bachelor’s degree in CFD and then earn a master’s degree in counseling to hopefully become a school counselor for an elementary school setting. Neal has enjoyed his time at Missouri State-West Plains and his pursuit of the AAS in CFD. “The professors who are in this program are great,” Neal said. “They have so much advice and stories to help you grow as an individual and in the future career that you wish to join. They also plan their classes to help you have examples to put in a portfolio for a future employer or ways to become involved with the community and to start networking with possible employers.” HARD WORK PAYS OFF Autumn Kuyper, Willow Springs, started classes at Missouri State-West Plains in 2009. She initially wanted to pursue a degree in law enforcement then switched to elementary education before realizing that wasn’t the correct path for her, either. She settled on CFD because of the broad range of career options available, not just in larger areas but also close to home. Kuyper earned her Associate of Arts in General Studies in 2011, and then started to pursue a bachelor’s degree in CFD. By the time she had enough credits for an AAS in CFD, she had also attained her bachelor’s degree and earned both at the end of the 2014 fall semester. In January 2015, she was

hired at the Department of Social Services Children’s Division, where she worked until November 2016, at which point she started working at her current position as a community support specialist at Ozarks Medical Center Behavioral Healthcare in West Plains. “This degree made me very marketable, and it’s been very easy to find employment,” Kuyper said. “I’ve also looked into and been offered jobs as a juvenile officer, youth specialist for the Department of Youth Services and caseworker for Behavioral Healthcare.” Kuyper described her path toward earning her degrees “treacherous,” and added, “Exam after exam, resource file after resource file … and I worked sometimes two jobs to keep going. But it was totally worth it, just not in a way that made sense at the time. It’s kind of like algebra. They say you won’t ever use this stuff, so why study it? The answer: It exercises your mind. The information is valuable, yes. But even when you’re studying things that don’t seem relevant at the time, do it anyway and appreciate the effort. “For example, all those resource files helped me to effectively assemble information in a child’s file when they came into state custody,” she continued. “All those exams helped me learn to study and prepare for testifying in court on a child’s case. All those presentations I had to make and speak awkwardly in front of the class by myself helped increase my social skills and my ability to read people, and developed my confidence, allowing me to better communicate with the children and families I served. All those APA and MLA papers I had to come up with helped me understand how to eloquently write court reports to be read by juvenile officers, attorneys and judges. All those lectures, PowerPoints and note-taking helped me learn to listen, remember and write down information I would need later in a case that would help keep a child’s life safe. Everything they teach and everything you learn will help you.” Kuyper encourages students who are considering studying CFD to do it, and not to stop at an associate’s degree. “Go the extra mile and put in the time to get your bachelor’s. It’s so worth it!” she said. “The time is going to pass anyway, so make it worth your while. No one can take your education from you, it’s something you’ll always have and will hopefully pass on to someone else.” For more information on the required courses for the AAS in CFD program, visit http:// wp.missouristate.edu/catalog/ aas-child-and-family-development.htm.

Missouri’s road losing streak reaches 33 games by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist
For more than three years now, Missouri has been losing every single game it plays on an opponent’s home court. The road losing streak reached 33 games with Saturday’s 9070 loss at Tennessee. It’s sort of astounding. Playing on the road is tough, even against teams that aren’t very good, let alone against good competition. But to not pull one out somewhere along the way, frankly to not even luck into a road win, shows how much Missouri basketball has declined. Missouri (7-19, 2-12 in SEC play through Sunday) was still stuck on three points over eight minutes into the action in Knoxville, and the Volunteers (15-12, 7-7) were pretty much in control for the entire game. It was a pretty typical Missouri game, with the Tigers’ big three of Kevin Puryear, Terrance Phillips and Jordan Barnett all scoring in double figures. If the Tigers are going to be any good next season and rise out of this bad stretch of basketball, those three will be doing the heavy lifting. The Tigers made a little run late in the first half, but Tennessee quickly stretch the lead to 13 at the half and maintained a comfortable lead the rest of the way. The Vols have some interesting pieces, but they are a fairly mediocre SEC team this sea-
son, part of the conference’s massive, jumbled middle. And yet, they fairly easily put Missouri away. Most Missouri fans have spent much of the last couple of months chatting about coaching candidates. The events have continued to unfold on the court, but the totality of the evidence seems to keep pointing to the end of Kim Anderson’s time as head coach. Of course, Missouri seems committed to playing hard all the way till the end. The Tigers even won two out of three recently, with a close road loss sandwiched in the middle. There was very cautious optimism the team was playing better. But then came a blown lead home loss to Alabama and the 20-point loss to Tennessee, which cooled any gentle enthusiasm. Basketball seasons, especially bad basketball seasons, can seem to drag on, but all of a sudden Missouri’s season has come down to
two weeks and the SEC Tournament in Nashville. The Tigers have two more cracks at securing that elusive road win, starting with Saturday’s game at Mississippi (2:30 p.m. on SEC Network), and then the regular season finale March 4 at Auburn (2:30 p.m. on SEC Network). Ole Miss (16-11, 7-7 in SEC through Sunday) has a good post player in Sebastian Saiz and a playmaking guard in Deandre Burnett. Like most SEC schools, (okay, pretty much every SEC school except for Kentucky), Ole Miss fans care much more about football than basketball, but their arena, the Pavilion at Ole Miss, is fairly new and can be a little feisty, especially on a Saturday. Plus, 33 straight road losses and all, this will be a tough one for Missouri to win.

Choosing the Best Assisted Living Facility Dear Savvy Senior, What tips can you offer for choosing a quality assisted living facility for my mom? Her health and mental abilities have declined to the point that she can’t live alone anymore but isn’t ready for a nursing home either. Looking Around Dear Looking, If your mom needs some assistance with daily living activities like bathing or getting dressed, managing her medications, preparing meals, housekeeping, laundry or just getting around, an assisted living facility is definitely a good option to consider. Assisted living facilities are residential communities that offer different levels of health or personal care services for seniors who want or need help with daily living. There are around 40,000 assisted living facilities (also called board and care, supportive-care or residential-care facilities) in the U.S. today, some of which are part of a retirement community or nursing home. Most facilities have between 25 and 125 suites, varying in size from a single room to a full apartment. And some even offer special memory care units for residents with dementia. Here are some steps you can take to help you choose a good facility. Make a list: There are several sources you can turn to for referrals to assisted living facilities in your area including your Area Agency on Aging (call 800-677-1116 to get your local number), family doctors or local senior centers, or online search services like Caring.com. Call your ombudsman: This is a government official who investigates long-term care facility complaints and advocates for residents and their families. This person can help you find the latest health inspection reports on specific assisted living facilities, and can tell you which ones have had complaints or other problems. To find your local ombudsman, visit LTCombudsman.org. Call the facilities: Once you’ve narrowed your search, call the facilities you’re interested in to find out if they have any vacancies, what they charge and if they provide the types of services your mother needs. Tour your top choices: During your visit, notice the cleanness and smell of the facility. Is it homey and inviting? Does the staff seem responsive and kind to its residents? Also be sure to taste the food, and talk to the residents and their family members, if available. It’s also a good idea to visit several times at different times of the day and different days of the week to get a broader perspective. On your visit, get a copy of the admissions contract and the residence rules that outline the facilities fees, services, and residents’ rights, and explains when a resident might be asked to leave because their condition has worsened and they require more care than the facility can provide. Also find out about staff screening and training procedures, and what percentage of their staff leaves each year. Less than 30 percent annually is considered good. More than 50 percent is a red flag. To help you rate your visit, Caring.com offers a checklist of questions that you can download and print at Caring.com/static/checklistAL-tour.pdf. Paying for care: Monthly costs for assisted living ranges anywhere from $2,500 to $5,000 or more, depending on where you live, the facility you choose and the services provided. Since Medicare does not cover assisted living, most residents pay out-of-pocket from their own personal funds, and some have long-term care insurance policies. If your mom is lower-income and can’t afford this, there are many states that now have Medicaid waver programs that help pay for assisted living. Or, if she’s a veteran, spouse or surviving spouse of a vet, she may be able to get funds through the VA’s Aid and Attendance benefit. To find out about these programs, ask the assisted living facility director, or contact her local Medicaid office (see Medicaid.gov) or regional VA office (800827-1000). Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior. org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Get involved in the 27th Annual Superhero Fun Run and Dog Show Everyone needs a hero, but cancer patients need superheroes! Ozarks Medical Center (OMC) Superhero Fun Run is Saturday, April 22. All money raised will go into the Emergency Fund at the OMC Cancer Treatment Center. The Emergency Fund offers assistance to OMC cancer patients who need help with medication and travel expenses. Iva Highfill, Patient Navigator at OMC Cancer Treatment Center, explained how the Emergency Fund helps OMC cancer patients. “Within our abilities, we are going to help provide what the patient needs to be successful with their treatment,” she said. “We provide our patients with a case of Ensure nutrition shakes every month. We also try to offset transportation costs by offering gasoline assistance to those who need it. Some radiation patients have to travel multiple times per week for treatment, with many of them traveling more than 30 miles one way. That cost can get overwhelming. A third way we offer assistance is by helping offset the cost of prescriptions. Some patients have very high prescription copays, and the fund is used to help them afford their prescriptions,” she explained. “There’s sometimes I just come right out and ask patients if they have food at home. If they don’t I give them a gift certificate for groceries. There was another time that I found out that a patient didn’t have air-conditioning. It was the middle of summer and the patient was going through treatment. We used the money from the fund to put down a down-payment on an air conditioner. Then the patient made the payments on it. These types of things don’t happen all the time, but when they do, we assess the situation and offer assistance if we can.” OMC is inviting individuals, businesses and organizations to participate in the 27th Annual Superhero Fun Run. There’s several ways to get involved. Register for an event. Join the fun! Register for the 1.5 mile walk/jog, the 5K or the 10K. Join a team. Teams of 5 or more receive a $5 per person discount in the race event of their choice. Grab some friends or coworkers and make it a fun day. And if you wish, plan your costumes for a chance to win a spirit award. Spirit Awards will be awarded to one child, adult, and team that demon-
strates the most spirit on race day. Enter your dog. Register your dog to walk or run an event with you. And you and your dog can participate in the Dog Show and Costume Contest, too! Volunteer. Sign up to be a course guide or gather friends or coworkers to host an aid station. Signage can be displayed at the aid station for a business. Table, coolers and cups will be provided. Purchase a booth at the Race Day Village. Booth space is available for $150. This is a great way to promote a business or organization. A 6-foot table will be provided and includes the option to place promotional items in the Superhero Fun Run swag bags. Exhibitors are encouraged to offer something interactive at their table for kids and families. Be a sponsor. Sponsorships are available for $250, $500, and $1,000 and include a logo on the Superhero Fun Run t-shirt, and much more depending on the sponsorship level. Compete for the Corporate Team Award. West Plains Bank (last year’s winner) has issued a challenge to the community encouraging other businesses and organizations to out fundraise them. The team who raises the most money and turns it in by Friday, April 21 at 5:30 p.m. will be awarded the Corporate Team Award trophy. The Race Day Village will be open from 7:30 to 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 22 with races kicking off at 8 a.m. The awards ceremony for the 5K will be held at 9 a.m. The Dog Show & Costume Contest begins at 9:15 a.m. The 10K awards ceremony will be at 9:45 a.m. Spirit Awards will be awarded at 10 a.m. A concession stand, DJ, and superhero fun will be ongoing throughout the event.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reminds people that a combination of strong winds, low humidity, dry conditions, and warming temperatures this time of year has the potential for unexpected wildfires. According to MDC’s Forestry Division, the main cause of wildfires is improper burning of debris such as trash and brush piles. Each year, MDC staff work with fire departments around the state to help suppress numerous wildfires that can consume thousands of acres. The Department urges landowners, hunters, campers, and others in the outdoors to help prevent wildfires and offers the following tips. OUTDOOR BURNING Do not conduct outdoor burning during times when grasses, brush and other fire fuel are very dry, humidity is low and weather is windy. Dry fuel -- combined with high temperatures, low humidity and high winds -- makes fire nearly impossible to control. Check with local fire departments regarding local burn ordinances or burn bans that may be in place. A person who starts a fire for any reason is responsible for any damage it may cause. Done properly, prescribed fire can be a beneficial tool to improve land for wildlife habitat and grazing. For more information on using prescribed fire as a land-management tool, visit mdc.mo.gov and search “Prescribed Fire.” DRIVING OFF ROAD Wildfires can start when
fine, dry fuel such as grass comes in contact with catalytic converters on motor vehicles. Think twice before driving into and across a grassy field. Never park over tall, dry grass or piles of leaves that can touch the underside of a vehicle. When driving vehicles off road, regularly inspect the undercarriage to ensure that fuel and brake lines are intact and no oil leaks are apparent. Always carry an approved fire extinguisher on vehicles that are used off road. Check for the presence of spark arresters on ATV exhausts. MAKING A CAMPFIRE Clear a generous zone around fire rings. When humidity is low and wind is high, debris can become tinder for a stray spark or ember. Store unused firewood a good distance from the fire. Never use gasoline, kerosene, or other flammable liquid to start a fire. Keep campfires small and controllable. Keep fire-extinguishing materials, such as a rake, shovel and bucket of water, close by. Never leave a campfire un-
attended! Extinguish campfires each night and before leaving camp, even for a few moments. SMOKERS: PRACTICE EXTRA CAUTION Extinguish cigarettes completely and safely, and dispose of butts responsibly. DON’T DELAY CALLING FOR HELP! Call 911 at the first sign of a fire getting out of control. REPORT FOREST ARSON Many wildfires are set by vandals. Help stop arson by calling Operation Forest Arson at 800-392-1111. Callers will remain anonymous and rewards are possible. DID YOU KNOW? In cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service, MDC provided more than $344,000 in grants to 158 volunteer fire departments last year for protective clothing, equipment, and training. The Department also obtained more than $4 million in equipment from federal government programs for volunteer fire departments in the state, and provided wildfire-suppression training to more than 400 Missouri firefighters.
MDC encourages people to help prevent wildfire

Demand was light early in the day and continued to improve throughout the day, as the future markets climbed and closed higher. Looking outside instead of at the calendar has many believing that Spring has arrived, creating a lot of interest in grass calves. The supply was moderated and included several pot loads of 6 and 7 weight steers and heifers. The feeder supply included 45 percent Steers, 50 percent Heifers, and 4 percent Bulls with 49 percent of the offering weighing over 600 lbs.

their final three opponents, they physically dominated them from start to finish. Coming off a 20-point victory over Willow Springs, the Eagles welcomed the Ava Bears by holding the Bear to just two point in the first quarter. Two. The Bears managed only nine for the entire first half and had no answer for Shalin Stout who frustrated Ava in the paint by continually blocking shots and pulling down rebounds. Stout finished with five blocked shots and one two-handed slam dunk. But as good as he was, this was Senior Night and the Liberty Eagles Class of 2017 delivered. Senior Mathew Coatney, when he wasn’t scoring his 18 points extending his streak of double digit nights, was pulling down 13 rebounds. Senior Devin Hedden finished his last game at Liberty High School by sinking five threepoint shots for 15-points, and senior Josh Pruett led the team with 20 points and five assists. Senior Brenton Bush did a little bit of everything, getting five assists, blocking two shots, and nabbing two steals as the Ea-

From Page One against Eminence 54-59. The only Senior on the team, Jaclyn Mantel, reflected on her last basketball season at Liberty. “I’m going to miss all my teammates and the good times we had. I’m going to miss being able to say hi to them every
day in the hallways.” Mantel has decided to go to college after graduating and is leaning towards attending Mount Mercy in Cedar Rapids. She wants to study chemistry where she can pursue a career in pharmaceuticals.
From Page One gles continued to stretch their lead in the second half, finishing with a 78-39 victory. Four days later the Mountain Grove Panthers also defeated the Ava Bears, but Liberty’s night was better. The Panthers won 74-41 in their final home game of the season. It was an indication that the Liberty Eagles team this season, has ranked up there with the best. Something they continued to show last Friday on the road against Cabool. Playing in the same gym where Districts are taking place this week, it was a good sign. The pace was slower. The Eagles offense was pedestrian at first, but defensively, Liberty was once again stifling. Liberty held the Cabool Bulldogs to just seven points in the first quarter, and only nine more in the second, as the Eagles led 30-16 at halftime. In the third quarter, the Liberty offense started rolling with 22 points, extending their lead to a 52-29 advantage. The Eagles were never outscored in any quarter, finishing the fourth quarter with 15 more points while
holding the Bulldogs to 11 for a 27-point win. Stout was back in double-figures against Cabool with 10 points, 13 rebounds, and four more blocked shots. It was sophomore Andrew Holden who led the team in scoring with 14 points. Devin Hedden was back at it from the three-point line, hitting three of those for nine points. Josh Pruett finished with 13 points, and a whopping nine assists. All in all, nine different players scored for Liberty in the game. The Eagles finished the regular season with 17 wins, winning their last three games against SCA opponents with an average margin of victory of 27 points. Finishing on a strong note was great, but this week the harsh reality of a District tournament that features two of the best teams in the State of Missouri was the new challenge. For the Liberty Eagles, this has been a season of tough challenges. “Our biggest challenge was the schedule,” admitted Walker, “All but two of our

losses have been to top 10 ranked teams. We even played two separate teams that were ranked number one in their class at the time we played them. We were able to beat one of those ranked teams, but that type of schedule is difficult for any team to face.” Finishing his first year as the Head Coach of the Liberty Eagles after coming over from Missouri State University at West Plains, Walker also reflected on the year, and the players. “The biggest blessing has been the young men I get to coach every day. For the most part, they have been preparing themselves for success since they were in 6th grade. That has been a great attribute of these young men.” As the 2017 season enters Districts, the Eagles hope for a few more surprising moments of success.
