A blowout of the top team in Region 16 highlighted a pair of wins by MACC at Fitzsimmons-John Arena Saturday night.
The Greyhounds ended West Plains' 14-game winning streak in the region emphatically, blasting the Grizzlies 68-41. The Hounds smothering defense was the key, as they jumped out to a 35-14 first half edge...

The Grizzlies had more turnovers, 18, than points, 14, in the first half. The Greyhounds held West Plains to a season-low by eleven points.
Kenny Williams led Moberly's scoring, with 21 points. TJ White was the defensive star, scoring nine to go with six rebounds and four steals. Head coach Jay Spoonhour, back on the sidelines for the first time since the passing of his father, Charlie, on Wednesday, says his guys responded to a week that was anything but routine...

The Hounds improve to 14-7 on the year, and are second in Region 16 at 4-2. After State Fair's loss at Three Rivers Saturday night, Moberly is 1.5 games clear of the bottom three teams in the region. The Grizzlies are now 18-6 on the season, and 4-1 in the region.
The Lady Greyhounds, playing without head coach Chad Killinger, overcame Iowa Western 65-58 earlier in the evening. Killinger was not allowed on the sidelines, because he was ejected from the win against Crowder on Wednesday. The Lady Hounds led by ten with eight minutes left in the second half, but the Lady Reivers went on a 13-2 run to claim a 51-50 lead. Moberly rallied, and hit free throws down the stretch, to pull out the win.
MACC shot 27-40, 68%, from the free throw line. Ashley Stevenson was 18-22 by herself, and scored a game-high 22 points. Acting head coach Alex Wiggs, normally the lead assistant, says the Lady Hounds found a way this week...

Moberly improves to 15-8 on the season, and 4-2 in Region 16. Taylor Turgeon, the daughter of head coach Jim Turgeon, and the niece of Maryland men's coach Mark Turgeon, scored 14 to lead Iowa Western. The Lady Reivers fall to 14-9 on the year, 1-5 in the region.
The Lady Hounds next play at home against Three Rivers on Thursday. The Greyhounds are next up on Saturday, at home against Mineral Area in a doubleheader. We'll feature all those games on KWIX, and online.
