INDEPENDENCE For Ste. Genevieve High School 126-pound senior Dalton McNeal, this marked the end of a glorious road.
Meanwhile, the journey is only beginning for Dragon 106-pound freshman Gage Gross.
Both Gross and McNeal earned fourth-place medals at the Missouri State High School Activities Association Class 2 Tournament on Thursday, March 11, at Cable Dahmer Arena.
McNeal produced a stellar record of 36-7 during the 2020-21 campaign, and he finished his scholastic career with a 133-45 mark.
“I am very proud of how Dalton ended his season,” Ste. Genevieve head coach Jared Bonnell said. “I only wished he could have ended it the way he wanted, as a state champion. I know he gave everything he had.”
Fred Pfister, former editor of Ozarks Mountaineer and beloved Branson writer, dead at 75 Gregory J. Holman, Springfield News-Leader
Fred Pfister, a Branson writer, editor, professor and civic volunteer who for many years taught English at College of the Ozarks and then afterward for 13 years edited a legendary but now-defunct culture magazine, The Ozarks Mountaineer, died Friday, Feb. 26 at Cox South hospital in Springfield.
He was 75. Camille Dautrich, a friend since 1974, said Pfister passed away after a recent surgery, having lived with heart problems for a long time. He was a Renaissance man, said Judy Domeny Bowen, an Ozarks folk musician, storyteller and teacher living in Rogersville who knew Pfister through their shared interest in beekeeping. That was just one of many hobbies, clubs and public roles Pfister busied himself with.
