JOPLIN — Their roster back intact after a 1-game excused absence for one senior starter and two games missed by a top senior reserve, Chillicothe High School’s basketball Lady Hornets figured to be ready to play better Tuesday afternoon at Joplin than they had in last Saturday’s 66-45 loss at Columbia: Hickman. Just how much better they dealt with a second-straight Class 6 opponent was tremendously surprising at first blush, but not so much on closer examination.
Missouri deer hunters have just one f i r e a rms season left for 2022-23 – the alternative methods season – and that season begins Saturday (Christmas eve) to run through Jan. 3.

Even less would have been required for them to be 5-1 as they prepare for a lone holiday-break contest against Milan in the North Central Missouri College Foundation’s “High School Holiday Hoops” event at Trenton Dec.
COLUMBIA — A year ago on their home floor, the then-undefeated Chillicothe High School basketball Lady Hornets battled a young, tall, athletic Columbia: Hickman Lady Kewpies squad that 50% from 2-points distance and even better (nine of 17) from 3-points land even for a half and eventually to an 8-points loss. This past Saturday afternoon, on the Columbians’ court, a less-experienced CHS squad minus its mo s t - exper ienced player, point guard, and floor leader surprisingly had its hands full and then some with the same Hickman lineup.
