Boys first-round games begin in Class 3 District 3
The boys get their turn to tip off the Class 3 District 3 tournament in Herculaneum Monday with first-round games that you can hear on AM 1400 KJFF.
The first round starts when the third-seeded Jefferson Bluejays take on the Kingston Cougars.
Jefferson is 13-11 and has four of its last 5 games behind seniors Jon Weik and Hadyn Wagner and junior Colby Ott.
While the Bluejays won a district title a year ago, head coach Sean Breeze says there can be no looking ahead.
Kingston is 9-15 and will try to snap a 4-game losing streak to extend its season.
The second game of the night will see the second-seeded St. Pius Lancers battle the Cuba Wildcats.
St. Pius is 18-7 behind star seniors Riley Naeger, Josh Ruble and Eli Boyer.
But Lancers head coach Chris Miller says Cuba is performing too well of late to take lightly.
Cuba has won 3 straight games to improve to 9-15.
Wildcats head coach Brett Joseph says the turnaround is all about the little things.
