Both Valle Catholic High School boys’ basketball player Carter Hoog and Ste. Genevieve girls’ hoopster Sydney Bumgardaner received more accolades recently.
The Missouri Basketball Coaches Association named Carter Hoog to the all-state boys’ squad in Class 2.
“It’s much deserved, in my opinion,” Valle Catholic head coach Tyler Search said. “He has worked hard to improve over the last few years, and it’s great to see it pay off for him.”
Hoog, now the Warriors’ all-time leading scorer, was part of an elite group of players, which also included Crystal City’s Donovan Tullock. Hoog and Tullock put on a show at Valle Catholic during the Class 2 playoffs.

The Valle Catholic High School boys’ basketball team’s dream of playing in Springfield this week didn’t come true.
Campbell, a squad with more depth and overall scorers than Valle Catholic, downed the Warriors 68-61 in a Missouri State High School Activities Association Class 2 quarterfinal game on Friday here in Ste. Genevieve.
The Warriors finished the season with a 20-9 record; meanwhile, Campbell (23-4) will play Norwood at 1 p.m. Thursday in the Class 2 state semifinals at JQH Arena.
“Campbell finished some shots around the rim and seemed to have an answer on the offensive end most of the night,” Valle Catholic head coach Tyler Search said. “They are also good when they have a lead late in games.”

Both the Valle Catholic High School boys’ and girls’ basketball teams found replacement games over the past weekend.
The Warriors met with mixed results as the boys downed Jefferson R-7, 69-58, on Saturday evening bouncing back from Friday’s 97-69 loss to Farmington.
The Valle Catholic girls also suffered a loss to the Knights, 49-27.
Under the circumstances, with poor roads and frigid temperatures, it was simply a blessing to play on back-to-back days inside the cozy confines of Valle’s main gymnasium.
“It was good to see our guys bounce back and get a win on Saturday,” Valle Catholic head boys’ basketball coach Tyler Search said. “I’m happy we came out ready to play, and won all four quarters.”
