2012 MSHSAA Show-Me Showdown

March is probably my favorite month of the year as a sports journalist....March Madness takes hold of the country and baseball is gearing up for a new season.

Beginning Thursday morning at the Mizzou Arena and the Hearnes Center in Columbia Missouri Class 1, 2, 3 play their Final Four.  There are four teams from the Heartland just a pair of victories from winning a state title:

Boys Class 1
Scott County Central (20-10)
- Braves have won three consecutive Class 1 Titles

Boys Class 2
Hayti (21-9)
- Making their first trip to the Final Four since 1983.

Boys Class 3
Charleston (29-2)
- Blue Jays finished 3rd last season

Girls Class 1
Eminence (27-1)
- Only defeat this season was a 44-41 loss to Walnut Grove.  The two could meet for a Class 1 Title.

The last time Charleston, Scott CC and Hayti advanced to the Final Four (1983) each won a state championship.
