(St. Louis, MO) – There is nothing like championship day at a big time tournament like the Ameritime Classic. Tonight number one seed and third ranked team in the area Hazelwood Central takes on the second seeded Lafayette Lancers.
Both teams are battle tested. Central won the Meramec Holiday Festival and Lafayette has won the Webster Tournament and won the consolation bracket at Meramec!
The third place game features two Parkway teams (West and Central) who met earlier this season with Central winning.
Consolation games begin at 4 pm & 5:30 and there are good teams in those games too. All of the match ups will be worth the visit to the beautiful Missouri Baptist University campus.
That third place game tips at 7:00 pm and the championship at 8:30. All the games can be watched free of charge and live on the Spartan Digitial Network. Here’s a shortcut. click here. It will take you to the official site.
I’ve had the privilege of working a bunch of those games this week and the MO Bap staff has been just great. Tonight you’ll hear my friends John Edwards (my UMSL partner), Paul Ellis, Greg Uptain and Jim Powers.
If you want to watch it later, Charter TV will be on hand and Demetrious Johnson and I have the call on that platform. Yes a lot of broadcasters and thus a lot of egos on campus tonight!

Three more road wins so far in @ValleyHoops as @BradleyUMBB @BelmontMBB & @UIC_MBB capture road wins. Looks like @DrakeBulldogsMB will do so too. #FatherHarry
Well @RacersWBB followed the men's example and swept Iowa in the @ValleyHoops race! Racers are 6-1 & if @BelmontWBB holds on to their Iowa sweep, the Bruins and Racers will be tied for first. What a trip for those two teams! #FatherHarry
After today's action, @EIUWBB is 8-0 in @OVCSports play. 4 teams @usiwbb @TTUWBB @LRTrojans @LindenwoodWBB are tied at 6-2. Six other teams are under .500. Great race to the finish lies ahead. #FatherHarry
Really entertaining game between @BelmontMBB & @UEAthletics_MBB. Under four minutes left in a one point game. Gabriel Pozzato back in the Aces' lineup. Rogers is playing like I've expected. Triples are dropping. It's fun and @kylejpeach bringing it on #ThePlus #FatherHarry
