Bluebird Basketball: Varsity girls and JV and Varsity boys travel to Sedalia January 27th for a 5 p.m. start of Conference roundball competition.
Two qtrs of JV boys began with Jaden Twenter hitting a 3 for the Gremlins. Jarrett Phillips countered that and then some for the Bluebirds scoring the next 6. Colton Mellen and Grant Kullman joined the fun to make it a 10-pt run. Then Colby Heimsoth with a rebound and put back just before the buzzer for a Cole Camp 12-4 lead after 1.
Landon Bauer a fieldgoal and Wyatt Cooper a long range 3 helped maintain the lead though Sacred Heart hit a pair of 3's. Sacred Heart then scored 6 to cut the lead to 19-16 with 2:20 to go. Good example by Phillips in the closing minutes. Though he missed a relatively open layup, he hustled back on defense and was able to deflect the ensuing shot by Sacred Heart without committing a foul! Seemingly little things can have a big impact! Cole Camp won 19-16.
Scoring: Phillips 8, Cooper 3, Bauer 2, Heimsoth 2, Mellen 2, Kullman 2.
Next it was the girls on court and a low scoring start. Dakota Dieckman scored the first basket of the game and Kristin Carl with a steal to layup combo. Score was 5 to 5 after 1.
Carl another steal to layup basket in the 2nd. And Katherine Timoshchuk with some very welcome point production near the basket, scoring 4 in 17 seconds. Cole Camp led 13-11 at the break.
Lillyann Mellen and Leah Allison each added 6 as the 3rd qtr unfolded. Payten Brandt with a steal and basket, and Madilynn Ogle added 4 helping Cole Camp gain some breathing room leading 31-23 heading to the final period.
Very nice defensive pressure by the Lady Bluebirds in the last 8 minutes. Sacred Heart went scoreless till mid qtr, while Cole Camp added 9. For the qtr, Cole Camp outscored Sacred Heart 17-3, with 12 of those by Mellen! Final of Cole Camp 48-27 over Sacred Heart.
Scoring: Mellen 21, Timoshchuk 6, Carl 6, Allison 6, Ogle 4, Dieckman 3, Brandt 2. Maggie Van Leer with 8 leading the Gremlins. Mellen 8 rebounds, Timoshchuk 7. Brandt and Carl 5 steals each.
Finally the Varsity Boys and it became rather lopsided from the start. The 7-9 Gremlins built a 9-2 lead by mid qtr. Blake Abey and Brett Burdick nailed 3's, but Sacred Heart answered back quickly. They led 21-8 after 1 qtr.
Colton Dieckman and Bovey Clark with downtown 3's in the 2nd. Kolton Phillips converted a traditional 3 also but there was no catching the Gremlins. They were ahead 40-20 by halftime.
Dieckman added 4 for Cole Camp in the 3rd, and Clark another 3. However about any shot the Gremlins put up seemed to go in the basket. They had hit 10 threes by the end of the 3rd qtr, enabling them a 64-31 advantage.
Both teams put in their bench players in the 4th. Landon Bauer with 5 for the Bluebirds. Final score of Sacred Heart 70, Cole Camp 39.
Scoring: Dieckman 7, Phillips 7, Clark 6, Abey 6, Bauer 5, Loganbill 3, Burdick 3, Espey 2. Max Van Leer with 20 pacing the Gremlins.
Conference Tournament play scheduled for late this week and the first full week of February. Let's hope for good weather and positive results for the Bluebirds! Thank you to Arthur Keuper for writing this article!!!

Cole Camp Basketball: The Frigid air had moved in, but no snow so the games took place as scheduled January 23rd at Stover. A variety of activities took place, including a mascot challenge!
Varsity girls action began at 5:30 and Cole Camp led 3-0 early. The next 4 minutes where a combo of foul calls on Cole Camp and 12 points for Stover. In the first qtr alone, Stover made 9 of 11 freethrows Dakota Dieckman tallied 4 for Cole Camp, who trailed 7-15 after 1.
Lillyann Mellen with 3 and Madilynn Ogle 2 in the 2nd qtr. Stover added 13 and so at halftime it was 12-28 Stover.
Perhaps the energy snack machine was froze up during halftime as the 3rd period wasn't much better for the Lady Bluebirds. Kristin Carl the only fieldgoal besides 3 freethrows for Cole Camp. Mostly 2 pt baskets for Stover as they built a 45-17 lead after 3.
The Lady Bluebirds did show some life in the last 4:30 of the game. Payten Brandt and Mellen with 3's as part of a 10-2 run closing out the game. Stover 51, Cole Camp 27.
Scoring: Mellen 9, Brandt 5, Allison 5, Dieckman 4, Carl 2, Ogle 2. Rory Pinzke with 15, Teagan Morris 14 for Stover. Mellen 9 rebounds, Allison 6.
Had mentioned other activities earlier. The Bluebird mascot and the Bulldog mascot had a dance competition. Very close on judges cards until the Bluebird did the splits! The Bulldog response was a shake of its tail and paw, so the Bluebird won bragging rights!
Also former Cole Camp basketball coach and current Stover Varsity Coach Tom Ward was honored for his recent induction into the Missouri Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame. Congratulations!
Great start for the Varsity boys as Cole Camp sprang out to a 19-3 lead in the opening qtr. Blake Abey with 7, Kolton Phillips 6 leading the way. Stover hit a 3 at the buzzer so the score was 19-6 after 1.
Cole Camp increased their lead in the 2nd with Colton Dieckman tossing in 4. Will Espey completed a traditional 3-point play mid qtr. Abey another 4 and Dasch Kaiser a basket giving Cole Camp a 33-9 lead at halftime.
A half court shooting challenge took place at halftime between a select group of Cole Camp and Stover attendees. Each had two chances to make a basket and if successful, they would win $100 courtesy of Citizens Farmer's Bank. No shots fell so no payout. Still this area is lucky to have a locally run Bank supporting the communities!
Phillips and Espey each another two fieldgoals in the 3rd. Ty Loganbill contributed a traditional 3 point combo mid qtr and Cole Camp led 48-25 after 3.
Stover made some noise in the 4th qtr with a 15-3 run, mostly from four 3-point shots. Made for an 11-point game with 3:10 to go. However from there Espey added 5, Kaiser and Dieckman 2 each. And Loganbill capped his 4-point effort in the 4th with a final freethrow. Cole Camp 62, Stover 44.
Scoring: Espey 14, Abey 14, Phillips 11, Dieckman 9, Loganbill 9, Kaiser 5. Dylan Brodersen with 16 for Stover. Dieckman 11 rebounds, Phillips 8, Kaiser 7, Espey 6. Thank you to Arthur Keuper for writing this article!!!
