After a two-year hiatus, Walnut Grove is back in the state semifinals. It had previously made the semifinals in 10 of 11 years from 2012-22, winning five championships along the way.

The Blue Jays are having their best season in 44 years and will try to earn their first semifinal or championship victory in program history. They survived a double-overtime quarterfinal game against Santa Fe to qualify. They’ve been led by freshman Audrie Meyerkorth, who averages over 16 points per game. The Blue Jays are the only Class 1-3 girls’ team that wasn’t ranked at the end of the regular season to qualify for the semifinals.

Tipton girls basketball makes state for fifth time in six years
After a third-place finish last year, the Cardinals are back in Columbia. They’ve been to the state semifinals five times in six years, with the program’s lone championship coming in 2023. High-level experience from last year’s team has led the way this season, including senior Charlee Bailey and junior Ava Schlotzhauer.
Norwood girls basketball makes state for third year in a row
The Lady Pirates have finished fourth in the state in consecutive years. They’re headed back to Columbia with the hope of winning a game or two in pursuit of their first championship since 1994.

Skyline girls basketball looks to repeat as Class 2 champions
The Lady Tigers will go for their second straight state championship this week. They have been dominant as of late behind the duo of Ashlen Garrett, Kenzi Cheek and plenty of others. The program has won seven championships in its history and hasn’t had a sub-20-win season since 2019. This is the program’s 18th state appearance.

Principia girls basketball returns to state after finishing as Class 2 runner-up

Fair Grove girls basketball seeks historic three-peat
The winningest group of seniors in Fair Grove athletics history will try to win its third straight basketball championship when the bulk of them contributed to back-to-back volleyball championships during their junior and senior years. Fair Grove returns to the state semifinals after a 65-51 win over El Dorado Springs, whom the Lady Eagles beat in their first two championships. A new challenge awaits the Lady Eagles in this postseason, but a group led by Brooke Daniels, Ashton Bell, Abbey Green and Camdyn Hart should keep them as the favorite.

A Jackson County judge on Friday denied Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway’s attempt to immediately stop Kansas City-based CBD American Shaman and several affiliated companies from selling kratom products.
The motion for a temporary restraining order, which was filed alongside the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, took particular aim at the more potent 7-OH products, which Hanaway argues are “hazardous opioids” banned by state and federal law.
Jackson County Circuit Judge Charles McKenzie’s ruling Friday stated there are “competing affidavits” from experts on both sides of the argument, following a hearing on the motion earlier this week.
“The court cannot find, based on the oral argument of the parties, the respective competing affidavits presented and the pleadings, whether the plaintiff is likely to succeed on the merits at this juncture in the proceedings in order for the court to grant relief in the form of a temporary restraining order,” McKenzie’s order states.
Hanaway’s argument was backed by sworn statements from an undercover narcotics officer with the highway patrol who said 7-OH is being used to cut fentanyl and a woman whose brother died from a kratom overdose.
Her office also submitted an FDA report that points to 7-OH as “a potent opioid that poses an emerging public health threat” and states health data showing synthetic 7-OH was involved in at least 197 Missouri deaths.
American Shaman submitted statements of its own from five toxicology and addiction experts, who largely said there wasn’t enough evidence to show that 7-OH and kratom posed a public health risk. One who researched narcotics said she had never heard of 7-OH being used to cut fentanyl.
Company owner Vince Sanders’ statement detailed how he came up with the idea to create 7-OH products, which now have an “enormous” demand, particularly among people who need pain management.
Sanders could not be reached for comment about the ruling on Friday.
McKenzie denied a temporary restraining order “without prejudice,” meaning that he would like to see more evidence.
“It is because of this finding that the court determines it necessary to hold an additional hearing,” he wrote, “where it can consider the parties’ respective positions with the potential of testimonial evidence and other properly introduced evidence, all as more fully developed by the parties, in order to further analyze these issues.”
The judge will consider “other injunctive relief sought in the pleadings at a future hearing to consider the issues,” the order states.
Hanaway filed a similar lawsuit Thursday against Relax Relief Rejuvenate Trading LLC, and its owners Dustin Robinson and Ajaykumar Patel.
The group received a warning letter from the FDA for producing 7-OH products last year, similar to one received by Shaman Botanicals.
“This is another step in our ongoing crackdown on kratom manufacturers who flout the law and try to justify endangering Missourians in the name of profit,” Hanaway said in a press release Thursday.
“Our mission is to safeguard Missourians from unregulated and addictive substances, and we will continue to pursue every legal tool available to protect public health and safety.”

BURLINGTON JUNCTION, Mo. (KCTV) – A head-on collision on Highway 71 killed 3 people and seriously injured a 4th, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
State Troopers say the crash happened around 1:25 p.m. on Saturday, May 9, near the intersection of Highway 71 and 170th St. – about a mile and a half north of Burlington Junction.
Investigators say a 2026 Chevrolet Equinox, driven by a 59-year-old woman from Carthage, Texas, was heading north on the highway when it crossed the centerline.
The Chevrolet struck a southbound 2026 Ford Explorer head-on, according to MSHP. Both vehicles caught fire and came to rest in the southbound lane.
State Troopers note that the crash killed the Texas driver, a 67-year-old woman from Harlan, Iowa and a 76-year-old woman from Rockwell City, Iowa.
The Ford’s driver – a 72-year-old man from Rockwell City – was airlifted to Bryan West Medical Center in Lincoln, Nebraska, with serious injuries, according to first responders.
Troopers say all four people involved were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.
The cause of the collision remains under investigation.
