In what was a historic day at Mizzou Arena, @QuentinC_1 stole the show.

Read about the Principia guard's 50-point masterclass, as well as a recap on a full day of Class 1-3 boys championship moments for @CoMoSports: https://t.co/9lUQLFzM7f

Here's new #Mizzou offensive coordinator Tavaras Hardy running through some Princeton offense drills in 2025.

Seems like we will likely see an emphasis on reading and reacting as well as off-ball cuts/movement from the Tigers offensively this year.

Fun connection here for #Mizzou

Hardy and Gates both came from the same star-studded Chicagoland HS Class of 1998 that featured six top-30 players nationally. Now set to combine forces on the same coaching staff in CoMo.

#Mizzou has its March Madness matchup.

The No. 10 Tigers will take on No. 7 Miami in the first round in St. Louis.

It's drivable. Be there.

Safe to say I enjoyed quite a few MO-mints at the 2026 MSHSAA Show-Me Showdown this weekend.

Special thank you to everyone at @MSHSAAOrg and @CoMoSports for helping make my job much easier!

Also thanks to coaches and players who all answered my questions with better answers.

Principia defends its Class 3 title.

98-34 the final.

The Panthers shot 69.1% from the field, the fourth-best mark in Show-Me Showdown history.

QUENTIN. COLEMAN.

50 points in the Class 2 final, second most in a Show-Me Showdown game.

Most points in a single Show-Me Showdown (67) since Jayson Tatum in 2016 (68).

In case you haven't heard, Quentin Coleman and Principia are among the best in the entire nation this year.

Principia 60, Miller Career Academy 18.

Coleman has 30 first half points and has seven steals. The Panthers are shooting 80% from the field as a team.
@CoMoSports

[Charlie Davidson @CDavidsonSports]

Coleman's 30 first-half points are the third most in a half in Show-Me Showdown history.

Principia's 60 points are also the third most in a half in the event's history.

The best figure for FG% in a final four game is 70.2%.

This is going to be one for the history books, folks.

Three-star @NUFBFamily OL signee Jacob Miller scored 22, grabbed 12 rebounds, and blocked 6 shots in Penney's 50-25 third-place game win over Clopton.

Ties 1981 for the best state finish in Penney program history.

I also helped recap Wednesday's semifinal action here: https://t.co/u5czKRK0R7

[Charlie Davidson @CDavidsonSports]

St. Elizabeth and Principia won their first ever girls' state titles, while Tipton took the state crown for the second time in its program's history.

I sat through almost every presser for Class 1-3 girls the last two days and it was clear why they made the Show-Me Showdown.

So many great coaches jumped out both emotionally and technically, while their players provided insight and grace in incredibly emotional moments.

[Austin Chatterton @AustinChatTV]

I'm live at Mizzou Arena as the second Class 1 semifinal is underway with St. Elizabeth (28-2) taking on Northeast (Cairo) (25-5). The winner will face Delta in the state title game. Follow along for score updates and highlights.

Two of the three leaders coming into the day lost, while Liberty was one match away from what would've been an unbelievable collapse.

Read about that and other drama from the final day of the 2026 MSHSAA Wrestling Championships here: https://t.co/OBixfs7ZvB

[Charlie Davidson @CDavidsonSports]

Just seeing this now, but should read "within 2.5 points" in the second line.

[Charlie Davidson @CDavidsonSports]

Onto the championships:

Liberty won two fifth-place tossups at 175 and 285, but Hickman was still able to trim the lead ever so slightly to 11.5.

Kewpies will need a lot of help in the finals to flip this one, as Liberty has an advantage in wrestlers going for a title (4-3).

[Charlie Davidson @CDavidsonSports]

@CoMoSports Hickman was as close as it could get to a state title.

Hayden won in a 4-2 decision, moving the team with 2.5 points.

Waldron couldn't match, losing in a heartbreaking 2-1 decision (video).

Liberty wins its seventh straight with a score of 161.5 to Hickman's 159.

31 hours spent in press row over the last 3 days! Had a great time helping to cover the 2026 MSHSAA Wrestling Championships for the Missourian.

Pushed through 30 repetitions of the Olympic theme song, red-green color blindness and a $7 hot dog, but it was very much worth it all.
