Rogersville, Kickapoo in 2026 T of C
SPRINGFIELD, Mo–We're still more than eight months away from the Bass Pro Shops Tournament of Champions.
But tournament director Josh Scott unveiled the teams coming to the prestigious high school hoops event.
The out of state teams are, St. John Bosco from California, St. Paul XI out of Virginia, Wheeler Georgia, Calvary Christian from Florida and Bartlett Tennessee.
Today at Bass Pro Shops, the local teams were announced Principia out of the St. Louis area.
And Rogersville and Kickapoo.
Chiefs coach Mitch McHenry's troops will be returning for the first time since 2023.
'As we sit in this aquarium, we're a very small fish in the big realm and big scheme of things with this tournament. But we're looking forward to the opportunity. And we're really excited that our kids get to experience this. Because all these guys have fond memories. Any basketball player in Southwest Missouri growing up has a fond memory of this tournament. It's instilled into them. And just having the opportunity to compete in it is something special,' said Kickapoo coach Mitch McHenry.

St. John Bosco wins Division I regional baseball title with a shutout
On the day he turned 17, Jack Champlin gave himself his own best birthday present, one he got to share with his teammates. The junior right-hander needed 27 pitches to retire all seven batters he faced to wrap up St. John Bosch's 4-0 shutout of Patrick Henry in the Southern California Regional Division I championship game. 'I'm going to dinner with my family and my girlfriend,' he said when asked what he would do to celebrate. 'I'm not sure where yet, but there are a lot of good places around here and we'll make a decision.' Champlin pitched in all eight playoff games for the Braves, picking up two wins and five saves with zero runs allowed in 11 2/3 innings. 'I don't really feel the pressure… as a closer you need to have confidence in your stuff and I'm just happy to be put in that position,' said Champlin, who fielded a grounder back to the mound and underhanded a toss to first base for the final out of the season. 'We knew our starter [Brayden Krakowski] had pitched earlier in the week and only had 14 outs remaining, so the gameplan was for me to come in after that or before if necessary. As it turned out I was able to finish each playoff game with the ball in my hand every single time.' Krakowksi allowed three hits and got all the support he needed in the first inning, as James Clark led off the bottom half with a triple and scored on a single by Noah Everly. Miles Clark added a two-out RBI single. In the next inning St. John Bosco doubled its lead when James Clark hit an RBI double and later scored on an infield single by Jaden Jackson. St. John Bosco beat eighth-seeded San Diego St. Augustine 2-1 in the first round and No. 5 Villa Park 7-4 in the semifinals in a rematch of the Braves' 4-3 nine-inning triumph in the Southern Section Division 1 quarterfinals. Patrick Henry had lost 3-0 to Granite Hills in the San Diego Section Open Division final but after back-to-back victories over two of the best Southern Section teams in Santa Margarita and Crespi, the Patriots (23-11-2) came to Bellflower confident they could upset the No. 1-ranked team in California. It did not happen. Instead, the Braves notched their 19th straight win, 30th in 34 games and capped an historic campaign, which included a 3-2 walk-off victory over Santa Margarita to capture the program's first section crown May 30 after losing to Beckman 2-1 in eight innings in the CIF-SS Division 3 title game last season. 'We've proven ourselves,' Champlin said in the midst of a celebration on the same field where he and his returning teammates rallied to defeat Bakersfield Christian 5-4 and claim the Division III regional championship last June. Champlin took the hill with one out in the top of the seventh inning in last year's regional final, got the final two outs, and was credited with the win when the Braves scored the game-ending run on a balk in the bottom frame. Saturday's achievement was even sweeter because it was accomplished at the highest level and was a testament to second-year coach Andy Rojo, who held the first-place plaque high and declared 'We won the west!' as his players surrounded him. 'It'll take a lot for any team to match what we've done winning by three titles in one year—the Trinity League championship, the Southern Section Division 1 championship and the regional Division I championship,' said Rojo who got his squad to the top of the mountain despite losing 12 players to graduation—including pitcher Anthony Cosme (Cal Poly Pomona), center fielder Julian Villasenor (Washington State) and first baseman Zach Woodson (Pepperdine). 'Tomorrow will be two months since we lost a game (the Braves last suffered defeat on April 8 against Santa Margarita). I couldn't be more proud.'

Which 2026 recruits have offers from Alabama basketball? Who's the tallest? Who's in backyard?
Only a couple months removed from March Madness, Alabama basketball has spent the offseason building its roster for the runs that lie ahead. Per 247Sports' database, 30 uncommitted prospects from the 2026 recruiting class have been offered by Alabama coach Nate Oats and staff. By state, Georgia leads the way with five recruits, followed by four from California and three each from Florida, Ohio and Maryland. Advertisement So far, forward Gage Mayfield, who is coming up on his senior year at Hale County — the home of Crimson Tide hoops alum Herb Jones — is the lone player to represent the state of Alabama among potential signees to UA's 2026-27 roster. By the looks of it, length continues to be the most sought-after physical attribute for Oats and recruiting mastermind Preston Murphy. The tallest 2026 players with Alabama offers are 7-footer Sinan Juan of Georgetown Preparatory School (Md.) and 7-1 Favour Ibe of Mt. Zion Prep (Md.). Nineteen total players offered by the Crimson Tide stand at 6-6 and over, including five between 6-10 and 6-11. Alabama's 2025 signees include Amari Allen, London Jemison and Davion Hannah. The trio make up the 15th ranked incoming recruiting class in the country. Here's a look at the complete list of uncommitted 2026 recruits who have a shot at suiting up for the Crimson Tide.
