The Kirksville Tigers season came to an abrupt end Wednesday in the District semifinals, losing to Macon 42-35.

Macon led by 10 in the third quarter. KHS tried to rally but fell short 42-35. Isaac Danielson led the Tigers with 9 points, and went 7 out of 10 at the free throw line. Cole Kelly had 8 points, and Keaton Anderson finished with 7. Boston Douglas led all scorers with 11, Maurice Magruder with 10. Kirksville ends the season with a record of 19-5, and will welcome back many underclassmen next season. Macon will play Mexico for the district championship Saturday. Mexico beat Centralia 51-36.
