Bloomfield, Missouri - Two SCAA teams met on the court in the Bloomfield High School gym on Friday, December 16th. The Advance Hornets came out on top 55 - 50.
Bloomfield's Peyton Bell recorded a game-high 21 points, but it was not enough to overcome the Hornets' Wuebker, Hood and Mayo who each finished in double digits. Wuebker tallied 14 points, Hood reached 16, and Mayo finished with 11 for Advance.
"We got off to a slow start and couldn't get out of the hole we dug ourselves," commented Bloomfield head boys basketball coach Brandon Crook. "We battled back and tied it at 50 to give ourselves a chance to win the ballgame, but costly turnovers late in the game and clutch free throws by Advance were too much to overcome."

Bloomfield, Missouri - The Lady Wildcats have made history this season! They are the first Bloomfield Wildcats girls basketball team to make their presence in the history of the school. They fought very hard to get a team approved by the Bloomfield School Board and now that the season is upon them, they are pretty excited and nervous.
Led by Coach Louis Bell and assistant coach Taylor Fields the Wildcats hope to have a spectacular 2016-2017 season and hopefully win a few ball games. Many of the Lady Wildcats have never picked up a basketball, others have had a few games during their elementary school days. Perhaps a few played on traveling team, either way the team is young and has a lot to prove to their fellow boys basketball team who for the second time in school history made a trip to the Final Four Championship games at Columbia.
