PARK HILLS The Ste. Genevieve High School girls’ basketball team was aiming for a second straight Bob Sechrest Jr. Christmas Tournament title.
However, a sluggish third quarter doomed Ste. Genevieve as hometown Central defeated the Dragons 67-59 at Foulon Field House.
Central twice built a 14-point lead in the third quarter, including at 45-31 as Sophia Horton the game’s leading scorer with 29 points scored on one of her many putback baskets.
“They started crashing the boards on offense,” said Ste. Genevieve head coach Jordanna Walk-Robison, “and we didn’t do a good enough job on Horton to keep her from getting in there.”

All four local varsity basketball teams will be in action next week during holiday-themed tournaments.
The Valle Catholic boys will play host to their own Warrior Classic Tournament from Dec. 28-30.
The Valle Catholic girls will travel to the Second Annual First State Community Bank Girls’ Christmas Tournament. Kingston and West County are serving as dual hosts.
Both the Ste. Genevieve boys and girls will be competing at the 65th Annual Bob Sechrest, Jr. Central Christmas Tournament in Park Hills.
Unlike other states, Missouri doesn’t have a “dead period” for games or practices during a holiday break. Coaches can even conduct a practice on Christmas day if he or she so desires.
