It is some 30 miles between Clinton MO. and Warsaw MO. However, the ride home last Thursday night seemed a whole lot further with the taste of bitter defeat still ruminating among the thoughts of Warsaw coaches, players and fans.
The semi-final district game had a lot of built in drama as Warsaw was one game away from a 20 win season, the first since 1989.
The other wild card in the deck was that Versailles Head Coach Jason Ollison had coached Warsaw three years ago and knew the Warsaw program and the players well.

‘The time for us to say goodbye is near
The day I thought would never come is here
Though many hearts are broken, we must somehow carry on
Cause, I sure am gonna miss you when you are gone
Yes, I sure am gonna miss you when you are gone’
-Randy Newman
Forgive me for going first person in this story but this one is personal. I am invested in these boys. I have been to their practices, rode on the team bus and sat in McDonald’s with them.

The Lincoln Cardinals defeated the Windsor Mustangs at home on Tuesday night 48-43. Foul trouble with their star player and  missed free throws kept the Cardinals from overpowering a team without a senior.
The Mustangs, to their credit, made one of the most difficult shots in basketball all night long in the straight -in five footer. The reason being is that there is indecision with banking the ball high off the glass or just shooting the clean shot.
