MSHSAA Girls Basketball Championship Dreams Take Shape
The final rounds are here. The best teams in Missouri are ready. Some teams have been here before. Others are chasing history. The road to a title is brutal. Every possession matters. Every mistake could end a season.
Missouri’s high school sports should be about skill and dedication. But the system is failing these kids. Schools do not get the support they need. Politicians pretend to care, but they do nothing. The talent is there. The heart is there. The resources are not.
These teams deserve better. The players work hard every day. They put in the effort. They fight for their schools. Missouri’s leaders should fight for them, too.
