Tonya Peck steps down as Fair Grove volleyball head coach
FAIR GROVE–After winning back-to-back state championships the past two seasons, Tonya Peck is stepping down as the head coach of the Fair Grove volleyball team. Peck spent 24-years at the helm, and amassed an impressive record of 611-177-53. Her resume also includes 10 Class 2 District championships, four Final Four appearances, and leading Fair Grove to the Class 2 State Championship the past two seasons. Dani Kepler will take over as the new leader of the Lady Eagles. She played under Peck, graduating in 2012, and played at Evangel, as well. She's been an assistant coach under Peck the past seven years, so she's learned from the best and will now take the reigns to lead Fair Grove into a new era. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Fair Grove, Logan-Rogersville fall short of winning first baseball state titles
OZARK–Between Fair Grove and Logan-Rogersville High School baseball teams, the Ozarks was well represented at the MSHSAA baseball state championships, on Thursday. However, both teams were outdueled in their title games and will have to wait another year to try and capture their program's first state championship. The Eagles kicked off the day by battling the Fatima Comets in the Class 3 State Championship. Senior pitcher, Spensar Sieger took the bump for Fair Grove, and performed about as well as any pitcher could, in the biggest game of his career. Sieger went 6 2/3 innings, only gave up two runs, both runs came in the top of the 3rd, and struckout six hitters. At the plate, the Eagles had their chances with several runners in scoring position, but never could scratch out a run. That was the key difference in the outcome. The State Runner-Up finish is the first time Fair Grove has placed at the state tournament. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the championship nightcap, Logan-Rogersville and Chillicothe squared off for the Class 4 state title. And from the jump, the Hornets bats were connecting and driving in runs. Chillicothe plated two runs in the top of the first, then put up more crooked numbers over the next two frames to lead 9-1, after just three innings of play. However, the Wildcats furiously fought back and rallied to close the gap to 9-7 in the bottom of the 6th, but that's as far as their comeback effort got. In the end, Logan-Rogersville lost by the same score to earn its second Runner-Up finish in Class 4. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
