Man charged in Monroe City officer-involved shooting On Thursday, January 21, 2016, Timothy Brokes, Jr., 34, of Hannibal, Missouri, was arrested on a Monroe County warrant for armed criminal action, first degree assault on law enforcement with a deadly weapon, and felony hindering prosecution. The charges stem from his involvement in an officer-involved shooting that occurred in Monroe City, Missouri, on January 13, 2016. During the incident, a Monroe City police officer was in contact with Brokes who was wanted for questioning for a homicide and felony assault that occurred in Marion County on January 12, 2016, and gun fire between Brokes and the police officer was exchanged. Both Brokes and the Monroe City police officer were shot during the incident. Both sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Brokes is being held at the Marion County Jail on a $500,000 bond. The officer-involved shooting is being investigated by the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control. The charges for which the individual was arrested are mere accusation and are not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of the charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.

Congressman Smith, Rep. Ross testify on 'land grab' in Oregon Co. Congressman Jason Smith (MO-08) testified in front of the Missouri House of Representatives Committee on Conservation and Natural Resources about Governor Nixon’s and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) disputed acquisition of land in Oregon County.

On Tuesday, January 23, 2016 the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department responded to a call that was forwarded from Texas County 911 regarding a domestic in the Vanzant area. Deputies, along with Cox Ambulance, responded to the area of County Road 251 just west of the East 76/Hwy. 95 Junction. Upon arrival a male subject, identified as Walter Jerome Massey, age 51, was unconscious on the ground with an apparent head wound. Cox Ambulance arrived as the scene was secured. At that time it was determined that Mr. Massey was in fact deceased. Upon further investigation it was discovered that as a result of the domestic Mr. Massey did receive a wound to the head. An autopsy was performed and it was determined that Massey did in fact suffer a head wound; however, that wound was not the cause of his death. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Department is currently awaiting the results of blood work and toxicology reports to determine the cause of death.

Howell Co. Commission approves operating budget The Howell County Commission approved the annual operating budget for 2016 at $9,510,872.06 on Monday, January 25. Howell County Presiding Commissioner
Mark Collins said that the overall budget is up slightly (about $300,000) fro last year. Collins noted that grant funds in particular have dwindled in the past few
years indicating less support from state and federal sources. He said the Howell County Commission “must continue to be innovative to meet the challenges ahead
Overriding a Presidential Veto Next week the U.S. House will take the historic action of attempting to override a Presidential Veto. In early January, for the first time since Obamacare was signed into law without a single Republican vote, Congress sent a bill repealing the President’s namesake law to his desk. I voted in support of that repeal, a vote which would have dismantled Obamacare, fully defunded Planned Parenthood, and reduced the deficit by $516 billion. With that vote, the U.S. House and Senate stood with the American people and delivered Obamacare its biggest blow yet. The bipartisan repeal bill would have ended the catastrophic and costly individual and employer mandates, eliminated a host of associated taxes, and reduced the government intrusion between you and your doctor. Unfortunately, as soon as that bill hit President Obama’s desk, he promptly vetoed it. Next week I will be supporting Congress’s first
veto override attempt of this President. Simply put, the American people deserve a patient-centered health care system which is free of government intrusion. I will vote to override the President’s veto because repealing Obamacare is the right thing to do in order to restore the doctor-patient relationship and get our country on track to create a market based, competitive health care system that’s actually affordable. Obamacare is a failure, even by the government’s own standards. The Congressional Budget Office recently reported that by 2025 Obamacare will cost the economy an equivalent of 2 million full-time jobs. Consumers have been left with fewer choices and health care remains unaffordable. You elected me to put a major repeal of Obamacare on the president’s desk and to force him to answer the question, “Whose best interest do you have at heart?” When President Obama vetoed this
bill he answered loud and clear, “I’ve chosen my own legacy and my own interests, over those of hardworking Americans.” He cares more about protecting his signature namesake law, than improving the healthcare system in this country. Individuals should have the ability to choose their own doctor. They should be able to purchase affordable, high-quality health care insurance that offers the best healthcare safety net option for their family. Competition without government intrusion should help drive down prices and businesses should not be hampered by confusing and conflicting healthcare regulatory paperwork. Unfortunately, even bipartisan agreement in Congress isn’t enough to get this President to accept changes to his namesake healthcare law. I know many will join me next week in attempting to override his veto and I can only hope it’s enough. When it comes to affordable and accessible healthcare, we all deserve better.
Independent, locally owned pharmacy is back in Mountain View. Liberty Pharmacy opened on January 4, 2016 at 508-2 W. US 60, next to Charley’s Meat Market. They are open Monday thru Friday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Services offered by Liberty Pharmacy include full service prescription and overthe-counter pharmacy, home delivery and mailing of prescriptions, medication thera-
py management, medication synchronization, private consultation, low cash prices and immunizations (coming Fall 2016).

Take advantage of the buy 1 get 1 free on any over-thecounter product until March 31, 2016 (up to a $10 value). The staff consists of phar-

Ron has lived in the area for nearly 7 years, and Chad was born and raised in the West Plains area. Also on staff is Toni Myrick, pharmacy technician. Toni has spent more than 10 years as a pharmacy technician in Mtn. View, most notably at Bolerjack Drug. Everyone is invited to
for the county financial operations” Howell County Southern Commissioner Billy Sexton said that the Road & Bridge portion of the budget reflects final payments in the construction of a bridge at a long-time problem area on County Road 8530, just south of West Plains. Sexton said funds for that project came to the county through the Off-System Bridge Replacement Program. How-
ell County maintains over 1,050 miles of road with this year’s total road budget at $2,513,611.73. Howell County Northern Commissioner Bill Lovelace said, “This budget process is a major part of our obligation to county citizens, it’s an annual evaluation of county finances that connects us with the other officeholders and county employees. We are thankful for everyone’s cooperation
during this budget time.” Howell County Clerk and Budget Officer Dennis Von Allmen said, “the budget is prepared from the various offices and department submitting estimates of revenues and request for expenditures to the Howell County Commission for review.” He added, “as defined by state statute, the budget was presented for a public hearing, which was completed today.”
Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: The citizens of Missouri continue to suffer because of a handful of state senators. They refuse to expand Medicaid in spite of the facts that expanded Medicaid will bring millions of dollars into the state, save the state money, improve preventative health care and keep rural hospitals open. We need representatives that will put pressure on the legislature to vote on expanding Medicaid. One of the false arguments is the state can not afford it, in spite of university studies that show it will save money in health care costs and increase employment. Kentucky is held up as an example of cost problems

because of expanding Medicaid, but the only study available contradicts that position. The new Republican governor of Kentucky, after saying he would eliminate the state Medicaid expansion (Kynect), now says he will move the state to HealthCare.gov which is the federal government program for Medicaid expansion. This will keep his pledge to end Kynect, but will not make any significant change in health coverage. The transfer to HealthCare.gov will cost Kentucky taxpayers about $23 million. So saving money is not the issue. As in Missouri, the opposition to expanding Medicaid is only based on politics. Some Republicans continue to keep their pledge to be obstruc-
tionists when it comes to programs of the Obama administration no matter the costs in money or health. It is difficult to predict our health care costs in 2020, but we know what we can expect when Medicaid Expansion happens: the people of Missouri will get better health care and the state will get federal money. The only “negative” is a program coming out of a Democratic administration helps the people of Missouri. Until voters show they will vote for representatives that represent their interests instead of corporate interests (see: Koch brothers, ALEC, Americans for Prosperity) these obstructionists will continue to cost Missourians money and health.

MoDOT to post 15-ton weight restrictions on bridges The Missouri Department of Transportation will post a 15-ton weight restriction on two Route ZZ bridges over Fox Creek in Douglas County. “We compared the results of the most recent inspection Liberty Pharmacy - A new pharmacy has opened in Mtn. View next to Charley’s Meat Market. Pictured at left is pharmacy to that of the previous and found that the condition of technician Toni Myrick and owner/pharmacist Ron Jensen. (Photo: Standard/Wagner) each structure has deteriorated,” said Southeast District Bridge Engineer Ed Hess. “Based on our findings, we recommended additional restrictions to be placed on both structures.” Hess said the newly posted weight limits will restrict any vehicles over 15 tons traveling across the bridge. In addition to the 15-ton limit, all overweight, over-dimension permit traffic will be permanently restricted. “It is imperative for vehicles over 15 tons to use alternate routes,” Hess stressed.
“Compliance with this restriction is necessary to keep all travelers safe and to keep the bridges open as long as possible.” The bridges are located on a minor route and will receive limited repairs at this time. Missouri’s insufficient funding limits the number of structures repaired or replaced, so the structures will remain load posted until funding to repair or replace it becomes available. Hess also said the bridges will have special inspections performed every six months to monitor their condition. Both bridges are 55-yearsold and most Missouri bridges have been designed for a 50-year life. For more information, please contact Hess at (417) 469-6284 or call MoDOTs Customer Service Center at 1-888-275-6636.

At the conclusion of these interviews, I filed a Probable Cause Affidavit with Prosecutor Chris Wade which resulted in a warrant being issued for Ms. White for 1st Degree Murder and 2 counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child. On Monday, January 25, 2016 the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department responded to the death of a subject in the Vanzant area of Douglas County. At this time this event is still under investigation.

Liberty dominates Hoop Queen, braces for tough week by Brian Ingalls Mountain View Standard News brian@mvstandard.com
Things start getting tougher this week. Corbin Dewick piled up 26 points, and Shalin Stout added 20 more as the Liberty Eagles took care of a scrappy Wright County team on Hoop Queen night with an 83-55 victory that was much closer in the first half, and this week the Eagles had no chance to relax as games against Thayer and Mountain Grove loomed large. Liberty had to work for the homecoming victory. Led by Sid James, the Warriors were just nine points down at halftime, and scored a respectable 34 points in the second half against the Eagles. They were also 7 of 10 from the free throw line in the second
half. For those who had never heard of the homeschool team from just outside of Mountain Grove, it might have been a shock, but it was no surprise for the Liberty coaches who had watched some recent tournament film of the Warriors. Liberty head coach Ron Brown gave them plenty of credit, noting they were not only a “pretty good team,” but had beaten the likes of Hartville and others this season. For Liberty, especially coming off an emotional tournament victory against Thayer in the Liberty Tournament, getting off the ground seemed a little difficult in the early going. The Eagles started slow and the Warriors made a game of it. Liberty took a 14-8 first quarter lead, and for a moment in the second quarter, the Warriors were closing the gap and
the Eagles were calling a timeout to regroup. Regroup they did. Like he has done before, Mathew Coatney caught fire from outside the three-point line, draining two in a row, and baskets from Dewick, Stout, and Brenton Bush helped push the Eagles lead to 30-21 by halftime. It was still too close for comfort, but by the time the homecoming festivities wrapped up and the third quarter began, the Eagles had warmed back up and were on a roll offensively. “Shalin had another great night,” explained Brown, noting the big numbers the sophomore put up on the scoreboard, as well as finishing the night with a whopping seven blocked shots. Brown also pointed out Corbin Dewick who came on strong again,
especially after overcoming some early struggles at the free throw line. For the game overall, Dewick was steady, scoring 12 in the first half and 14 in the second. He did much of his damage from the baseline with inside shots in traffic. Stout was hitting from underneath, and with 15-foot jump shots. He finished with a career high 20 points, 12 of those coming in the second half. The sophomore also shot an impressive 10 for 10 from the free throw line. “When two players get almost 50 of your points, you’re doing pretty good,” said Brown. As other players contributed baskets at key times, the Eagles managed to break the game open in the third quarter and run away with it in the fourth. More three-point shots from Coatney, Andrew
Holder, and Kole Orchard, plus solid free throw shooting from Brenton Bush and Josh Pruett helped Liberty score 23 points in the third quarter, and 30 more in the final eight minutes. Those 53 second half points turned the game from a 9-point struggle, into 28-point homecoming victory. It took offense from the Eagles, because the Warriors were still scoring. James hit four baskets in the third quarter plus a couple of free throws. He added eight more points in the fourth quarter. Jared Hutson scored three baskets in the fourth as well, and Andrew Puetz added six points in the second half, including a three-point shot in the fourth quarter. It just wasn’t enough to keep up with the Eagles high powered attack. Hitting on all-cylinders in the second half, Liberty took a 53-37 lead at the end of the third quarter, and finished with an 85-55 victory to improve to 14-6 on the season. This week any victory is good as Liberty traveled to Thayer on Tuesday for the second time this season. “It’s always tough to play there,” said
Brown on Monday. “We’re getting into a hornet’s nest, and they’re probably looking for some redemption.” The 18-2 Bobcats only losses on the season have come to the Eagles. The first was at the Cabool Holiday Tournament when Liberty dominated 67-57, while the second loss came in the championship of the Liberty Tournament two weeks ago. Despite being perhaps the only team so far that has had Thayer’s number, coach Brown cautioned, “We have to be on our game.” Friday night presents another big challenge against Mountain Grove when the Panthers arrive at Liberty High School for Pink Out Night. The Panthers currently boast a 12-3 record including impressive wins against Hartville and Licking. Tough games, but with four-straight wins, the Eagles started the week as a team that might just be up for the challenge. SCORING AGAINST WRIGHT COUNTY: Coatney 12, Holden 6, Bush 5, Dewick 26, Stout 20, Hedden 3, Orchard 3, Pruett 8.

According to interviews, the night prior to the murder, August 27, 2015, Walker and another male subject went to the parking lot across the street and taunted Koch by hollering and yelling. Koch reportedly saw the two, remained calm and told White her boyfriend is across the street. Reports indicate that on the following morning, August 28, 2015, White told a male subject that she is going to stay the night with Walker, knowing that Koch was going to be returning home after work and wondering where she is at. According to family member’s of White, White’s mother picks her up and takes her to Walker’s house. In a later interview, White says she goes to Walker’s and “fries taters,” when in reality it is to stay the night with Walker. According to statements made by White during the day of August 28, 2015 she went to Walker’s earlier int he afternoon to calm things down and to get him to respect her old man, when in reality, according

From Page One to Walker, they met up to have an intimate encounter. Walker stated several times to White that he was going to kill Koch and if he gets in his bubble he was going to kill Koch. White told investigators that Walker harassed her by calling her, “50 thousand times”. It was noted that according to White’s phone records, on the day Koch was murdered, Walker contacted White five times while White contacted Walker 16 times. In the late afternoon of August 28, 2015 White receives a phone call from her mother stating that Koch knows where she is at and is on his way there with the girls. The mother reports that she heard Walker saying, “I’m gonna kill him. I will kill him.” After White finds out Koch is on his way over with her children to get her she does not call the sheriff’s office, she knows Walker’s plan is to kill Koch, when Walker loads a gun to shoot Koch she does not tell Walker not to kill Koch. She tell hims, “Dude my kids are
there you can’t be using guns.” White knows that Walker arms himself with a hunting knife and she hides in the bathroom where Walker tells her to she he can kill Koch. Reports indicate that White does not run out into the yard when Koch and her children pull up to warn them that Walker had a knife and intended to kill Koch, instead she hides until she hears one of her children scream. During a portion of White’s interview, she stated that at an unspecified time Walker had told her he was going to below Koch’s brains out and even asked White if she wanted him to do it White stated she told him no. It was noted that White never reported this threat to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. White is set to appear in court on Thursday, February 11, 2016. The charges set forth in an indictment are merely accusations, and each defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Until then, the Ronald McDonald House has given us the opportunity to stay in a beautiful place close to our babies that we are calling our 'home away from home'. Everyone has been exceptional, and we can't thank them enough for the ease they have brought our family during this time. We are forever grateful for all they've given our growing family!"

26th Annual OMC Fun Run on April 23 to include 1.5 mile, 5k, 10k and dog show Financial Paperwork: What to Keep, What to Toss Dear Savvy Senior, How long should a person hang on to old receipts, stock records, tax returns and other financial documents? I have accumulated boxes full of such papers over the years and would like to get rid of some of it now that I’m retired. Getting Organized Dear Getting, This is a great time of the year to get rid of unnecessary or outdated paperwork and to organize your records in preparation for filing your tax return in the spring. Here’s a checklist of what to keep and what to toss out, along with some tips to help you reduce your future paper accumulation. Toss Out • ATM receipts and bank-deposit slips as soon as you match them up with your monthly statement. • Credit card receipts after you get your statement, unless you might return the item or need proof of purchase for a warranty. • Credit card statements that do not have a tax-related expense on them. • Utility bills when the following month’s bill arrives showing that your prior payment was received. If you wish to track utility usage over time, you may want to keep them for a year, or if you deduct a home office on your taxes keep them for seven years. To avoid identity theft, be sure you shred anything you throw away that contains your personal information. It’s best to use a crosscut shredder rather than a strip one, which leaves long paper bands that could be reassembled. Keep One Year • Paycheck stubs until you get your W-2 in January to check its accuracy. • Bank statements (savings and checking account) to confirm your 1099s. • Brokerage, 401(k), IRA and other investment statements until you get your annual summary (keep longer for tax purposes if they show a gain or loss). • Receipts for health care bills in case you qualify for a medical deduction. Keep Seven Years Supporting documents for your taxes, including W-2s, 1099s, and receipts or canceled checks that substantiate deductions. The IRS usually has up to three years after you file to audit you but may look back up to six years if it suspects you substantially underreported income or committed fraud. Keep Indefinitely • Tax returns with proof of filing and payment. You should keep these for at least seven years, but many experts recommend you keep them forever because they provide a record of your financial history. • IRS forms that you filed when making nondeductible contributions to a traditional IRA or a Roth conversion. • Receipts for capital improvements that you’ve made to your home until seven years after you sell the house. • Retirement and brokerage account annual statements as long as you hold those investments. • Defined-benefit pension plan documents. • Savings bonds until redeemed. • Loan documents until the loan is paid off. • Vehicle titles and registration information as long as you own the car, boat, truck, or other vehicle. • Insurance policies as long as you have them. • Warranties or receipts for big-ticket purchases for as long as you own the item, to support warranty and insurance claims. Keep Forever Personal and family records like birth certificates, marriage license, divorce papers, Social Security cards, military discharge papers and estate-planning documents (power of attorney, will, trust and advanced directive). Keep these in a fireproof safe or safe-deposit box. Reduce Your Paper To reduce your paper clutter, consider digitizing your documents by scanning them and converting them into PDF files so you can store them on your computer and back them up onto a USB flash drive or external hard drive like icloud.com or carbonite.com. Your can also reduce your future paper load by switching to electronic statements and records whenever possible. 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.

Land
that the purchase of over 4,000 acres for a proposed state park in Oregon County is over 100 miles from the impacted area – the counties effected in the lawsuit in which the State was awarded the funds to purchase the land are nowhere near Oregon County. Postings about the proposed land purchase were buried in the 500,000 plus page federal register or on the DNR website, Smith is concerned that very few of those in the impacted areas actually use either of those sources to get information about their community. During his testimony, Representative Smith expressed concern with the overall lack of openness and transparency in which the DNR selected the restoration site, made that information public and solicited public feedback. Afterwards, Smith continued to express frustration, “To not even hold a public hearing in the area where thousands of acres of land was purchased simply flies in the face of trying to claim this process was open and transparent. I’m used to being disappointed with federal bureaucrats in Washington failing to disclose appropriate information to the American public, but in this instance it was the state government that flat out failed in its obligation to the taxpayers of Missouri to go above and beyond in its efforts to be honest with this land purchase.” According to the DNR, 10 primitive camp sites are planned on the new park, but Congressman Smith sounded the alarm with those specific

plans for this piece of land, “I went to see the property last week, its thousands of acres of rolling farm land with cattle grazing on it, so it begs to question how this will ever be a national forest area or a place with primitive campsites on it. I would also have to question why the State would plan to spend millions of dollars creating a forest where there isn’t one.” Smith continued, “Where is the plan, where is the transparency the citizens of Missouri and residents of Oregon County are entitled? With the information I have now, I can tell you that the State purchased the wrong piece of land. This land was purchased by a bunch of executive and state level bureaucrats. There was no input from the state senators, state representatives, town members or taxpayers.” On numerous occasions Congressman Smith has asked Governor Nixon’s administration for additional details on the transfer of these private lands. Smith has previously called the transfer “a clear misuse of funds”. Stating that “Misusing these funds is a violation of the settlement agreement and the public trust”. In October the Congressman sent a letter to the U.S. Secretary of Interior Sally Jewell, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy, Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Dan Ashe, U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell, and Missouri Department of Natural Resources Director Sara Parker Pauley, outlining his numerous concerns.

From Page One and determine how best to capture and kill the entire group of feral hogs. MDC owns or manages about 1,000 conservation areas around the state with nearly 30 known to have feral hogs, mostly in southern Missouri. One goal of the new regulation is to prevent the illegal, intentional release of feral hogs on other conservation areas. Releasing Hogs is Illegal Releasing hogs to non-enclosed areas or to the wild is illegal in Missouri. MDC encourages the public to report these types of illegal activities to local conservation agents or to call its Operation Game Thief hotline at 800392-1111. In the future, the Department will also recommend to the Conservation Commission to revoke the hunting, fishing, and trapping privileges of any individuals found guilty of intentionally releasing feral hogs. The Department is also working with elected officials, conservation groups, and agricultural organizations to raise awareness of the problem with feral hogs and hog hunting. Threats to Native Species
Feral hogs are an invasive, nuisance species in Missouri. They are not naturally found in the wild in Missouri and the growing populations and numbers of locations are a result of people illegally releasing them to run wild – often to later hunt them. Feral hogs cause significant damage to wildlife habitats, compete with native wildlife such as deer and turkey for food, prey upon native wildlife such as turkey and quail, destroy natural areas along with agricultural lands, pollute ponds and streams, and spread diseases to domestic livestock and people. Diseases spread by feral hogs include swine brucellosis, pseudorabies, trichinosis, and leptospirosis. The Centers for Disease Control has confirmed several cases of hunters contracting potentially life-threatening bacterial infections from field-dressing feral hogs.

Missouri has lost six in a row and sits in last in the SEC at 1-7. As bad as last year was, the worst Tiger season in almost 50 years, this could be another 3-15 conference record. Or worse, something atrocious like 2-16, which would put Missouri at 9-22 overall for the season. I like that coach Kim Anderson is a nice man and an alum with deep ties to the school. But if he puts up two nine-win seasons, it could be very difficult to get a third chance. This team’s best players are its younger players, but they need to claw their way to
some wins. First is Wednesday’s home game with Ole Miss (8 p.m. on SEC Network). The Rebels (13-8, 3-5 in SEC through Sunday) have some scorers but are beatable for most SEC teams, but even at home it could be a challenge for Missouri. Saturday brings a road game at Alabama (2 p.m. on SEC Network). The Crimson Tide (11-9, 2-6 in SEC through Sunday) begin the week tied with Mississippi State for 12th in the SEC. Senior guard Retin Obasohan leads the team in scoring at 15.6 points per game. Missouri has lost 21 straight road games, so expectations are low. But as bad as the season has become, there are still 10 games left. Whether things get a bit better or somehow sink even lower remains to be seen.
Missouri suffers home loss to lowly Mississippi State by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist This Missouri basketball season is looking more and more like last year’s, and that’s not good. Last Saturday, Missouri (8-13, 1-7 in SEC play through Sunday) suffered a pitiful 76-62 home loss to Mississippi State (9-11, 2-6 in SEC through Sunday). This was supposed to be a close game. Mississippi State has some seniors who can play, but the Bulldogs are, by record, the second or third worst team in the SEC, and are building for the future under first-year coach Ben Howland, who has a fantastic recruiting class lined up. Missouri, for all its young players, did not look like it was building toward anything Saturday. Mississippi State was playing without its
leading scorer and rebounder, Gavin Ware, who was out with a concussion, and still hammered the Tigers on the rebounds. Missouri made just two of 25 three-point attempts. That’s horrendous, but it’s also a bad look that the Tigers shot that many threes when they weren’t falling, while they were actually decent on shooting inside the arc. Mississippi State jumped out to a 37-20 halftime lead, and led 52-30 in the second half, which was a humiliating situation for Missouri, given that the Bulldogs are buried near the bottom of the SEC standings and lost to UMKC earlier this season. Missouri kept battling, but never really threatened to come all the way back. Jakeenan Gant had a decent game off the bench and Na-

win for the Lady Eagles, 6457 in double overtime. For the game, Madison Berry led with 18 points followed by Francis with 16, Jaci Mantel with 12, Marissa Berry and Gastineau with 8 points each and Randolph with 2. Earning another win for the season the JV Lady Eagles defeated Bakersfield 2517. For the game, Gastineau led with 10 points followed by Clark with 6, Randolph with 5, Amanda Mantel with 2 and Taylor and Marshall with 1 point each. “We have a big week playing Willow Springs on Monday, February 1 at Wil-
low and at Ava on Thursday, February 4. Both of those are conference games and have significant district seed implications,” stated Coach Orchard on the week ahead. The Lady Eagles next home game will be on Thursday, February 11 at 6 p.m. playing against Newburg High School followed by two more home games on Monday, February 15 against Cabool and wrapping up the season on Thursday, February 18 against Houston. District play will begin on February 20. Come out and support your Liberty Lady Eagles!
