The Bulldogs of Ft. Zumwalt South beat the Kirksville Tigers 57-41 in the opening game of the Southern Boone Classic Monday. Coach Tyler Martin has been talking for the past several days about what a good team the Bulldogs are and they showed it in the first quarter. Tough full court pressure accounted for several Tiger turnovers and it was 25-5 at the end of the first quarter. The Tigers, however, turned up the heat in the second quarter, handling the pressure better, but trailed at the half 40-17. KHS outscored Ft. Zumwalt South 24-17 in the second half, but the damage had already been done, and the Bulldogs win it 57-41. Twenty-three Tiger turnovers on the night, compared to 11 for the Bulldogs. Justin McKim led KHS with 12 points, Kyle White scored nine, all in the first half. The Bulldogs had three players in double figures, led by Cam Brown with 12. KHS dips to 10-6 on the year and will play Southern Boone Wednesday at 7:30. Tuesday, the Lady Tigers take on Southern Boone at 7:30.
