Lafayette County Retired School Personnel will meet on Thursday, April 9 at 2:30 P.M., at the FCS Financial Office building, 4100 MO-13 BUS Hwy, Higginsville.

In today’s column, we will recap the 2025-26 Lexington Girls Basketball season, and we will recap the Boys year in next week’s paper.

In a game that was closer than the final score would indicate, the Wellington-Napoleon Tigers Boys Baseball Team pulled away in the final two innings, and defeated the Lexington Minutemen 17 to 5 last Wednesday in Lexington.

The Missouri Tigers Mens Basketball team had a short stay in the NCAA Tournament, as they dropped their first game to Miami (FL) 80 to 66 late last Friday evening in St Louis. The Tigers, who trailed by as many as 10 points in the first half, scored 9 straight to pull within 2726 at halftime, and then took a brief lead midway through the second half, before Miami went on an 11-0 run to basically put the game out of reach. Jayden Stone led Missouri with 21 points, while Mark Mitchell had 19 and Anthony Robinson 11 for Mizzou, who winds up 20-13 for the season. Malik Reneau led Miami with 24 points, while Tre Donaldson had 17 and Shelton Henderson 15.
