On Friday night District Semi-Final games took place in the state of Missouri and four local teams have all advanced.
West Plains defeated Monett 39-26, in a game that went back and forth most of the night. The Zizzers will remain home for the District Championship game versus Carl Junction who they pulled out a win over in the final regular season game by scoring two late 4th quarter touchdowns.
The Liberty Eagles met an old foe in their semi-final game as they hosted the Ava Bears. Ava came in to the game off of a upset victory over Fair Grove one week ago. This night belonged to the Eagles who jumped out to a huge first half lead and never looked back winning 55-14. The Eagles will face Forsyth who upset the two seed Catholic 33-29.
Please send up some prayers for an Ava Bears running back who was injured in the game and was taken from the field by ambulance.
