The list of firsts continues to grow for the East Buchanan boys basketball team.

During the season, the Bulldogs won their first KCI title.

Last Saturday, East Buchanan claimed its first district crown.

On Wednesday night, the Bulldogs captured their first sectional championship with a 53-44 victory against conference foe West Platte before 2,098 fans at MWSC Fieldhouse.

“It’s a great feeling for us and our fans,” East Buchanan forward Andrew Mead said.

East Buchanan advances to the Class 2 quarterfinals at 8:15 p.m. on Saturday against Northwest (Hughesville) at Central Missouri State’s Multipurpose Building.

The Blue Jays held a 23-22 halftime lead. That’s when the Bulldogs turned up the intensity on defense.

East Buchanan’s five starters each are taller than 6-foot and it made the Bulldogs’ 2-3 matchup zone all the more difficult for the shorter Blue Jays.

The Bulldogs (24-1) forced West Platte into 13 second-half turnovers as East Buchanan assumed control at 43-36 with 3 minutes, 2 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

“Our height has given teams fits all season,” East Buchanan Jacob Carver forward said. “With our long arms, we are able to break down passing lanes and can close up the lane.”

West Platte (16-13) did make a late surge. Erick Roe’s 3-pointer made it 43-39 and ended a 7:54 stretch the Blue Jays went without a field goal.

Roe then turned an East Buchanan turnover into a conventional 3-point play and suddenly the Bulldogs’ lead was 43-42 with 2:09 left.

Mead drove the lane only to see his shot rim out, but Carver was there for the putback and a 45-42 lead. East Buchanan scored 14 second-chance points in the second half, compared to two for West Platte.

“Our offensive rebounding gave us a chance tonight,” Bulldogs coach Jayson Watkins said.

Roe and Eric Humes each missed tying 3-pointers on West Platte’s next trip.

Watkins immediately called timeout with 1:25 left once his team secured possession.

Out of the timeout, the Bulldogs attacked instead of killing the clock.

Carver and Mead played a two-man game before Mead squeezed one in while being fouled. He chipped in the free throw and it was 48-42 with 1:19 left.

“We are not a sit-on-the-ball type of team,” Watkins said.

West Platte would come no closer.

“The kids have an unspoken confidence,” Watkins said. “They expect so much from each other as a team.”

Mead led the Bulldogs with 23 points, and Carver added 20. They were the only East Buchanan players who scored in the opening half.

Roe led the Blue Jays with 19 points.

Yep, Westminster got 3rd.

The game with Willard was insane. In the first 3 minutes we got ahead 10-0, but then it all went downhill from there. Honestly, they didn't have that special of an offense, their defense was very weak, but the whole game revolved around who had the better shooting. They hit around 90% of their shots (at least it felts like it, I never saw the number) and it's darn near impossible to deal with that. Every time they'd get on our side of the court and put the ball in the air, it'd go in. That and everyone was hot. It wasn't just one guy drilling all the 3's, but everyone. And then WCA's shooting was terrible. We couldn't get a 3 for the life of us. It was pitiful.

All in all, if we had played O'hara or Notre Dame first (I got their early and saw the game between them two) we would've been in the championship game. If Willard hadn't been so hot, we would've had a chance, but, dang, they made everything. Any other day and it'dve been closer.

The game against Notre Dame, however, was fairly easy and they only had a lead once and even then only 2 points. We had fun that game even though the score doesn't reflect how easily we won it. I'm curious how it would've been had they not played full court defense the entire game.

I predicted PB over Vashon quite a while ago.

I wanted to go watch East Buchanan play last night, but had to stay home. Looks like you've got a rematch with St. Vincent.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — East Buchanan’s Bulldogs came to Mizzou Arena this week with one loss and hopes of a Class 2 state title.

Instead, they left with two more losses and the fourth-place trophy.

For the second straight game, East Buchanan played miserable offense in the first half and couldn’t overcome its slow start in a 59-44 loss Saturday night to Salisbury in the third-place game.

For all 13 East Buchanan players, it was the fourth-combined loss between football and basketball with three coming in state situations.

“We made a lot of history in our school, but we really didn’t do anything,” senior Andrew Mead said. “The four losses we had were the ones that mattered, in football and basketball both. It’s a shame we couldn’t step up and accept the challenge of getting first place.”

“It’s tough,” senior Jacob Carver added. “To go out like this …we came down here and pretty well sucked. It wasn’t good at all.”

East Buchanan (25-3) scored 15 points in the first half Saturday after being held to 10 in Friday night’s semifinal loss to St. Vincent. The Bulldogs came into the Final Four shooting better than 52 percent as a team and scoring more than 60 points per game. They scored 44 in both losses and didn’t shoot higher than 36.5 percent.

East Buchanan led 2-0 and 2-1 in Saturday’s game for a total of 25 seconds. It was the Bulldogs’ only lead in the past two games.

Salisbury (31-1) hit 5 of 7 first-half 3-pointers, whiched help the Panthers to 32-15 halftime lead. Guard Jordan Green, the smallest player on the court at 5-foot-9, torched the Bulldogs’ 2-3 zone on his way to 11 first-half points on three 3s. Salisbury’s outside shooting was so good, East Buchanan coach Jayson Watkins eventually moved his team to man-to-man.

“It was a direct result of (their outside shooting),” Watkins said. “They were 5 of 7 from 3-point range. I’d have been an idiot to stay in it. We’re comfortable in (our zone), and we were a little bit out of our comfort zone.”

The move worked in the third quarter, as the Bulldogs outscored the Panthers 20-11 and cut the lead to eight when Lucas King hit Jacob Carver underneath for a layup with 46 seconds left in the third quarter. Then Mead, who scored a team-high 23 points, stole the ball and was fouled attempting a layup with 1 second left. But he missed both free throws, and East Buchanan never came closer.

“They’re a good ball club,” Salisbury coach Kenny Wyatt said. “We knew they would make a run. They were making their run, but we were scoring too, and I thought that was important. If we had come out and had trouble getting some buckets, it might have been a different story.”

Mead and Carver accounted for all but seven of East Buchanan’s scoring output. Carver scored eight of his 14 points after halftime, and Mead had 14 in the second half.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — The East Buchanan boys have made a living in the Class 2 playoffs by starting off slowly and finishing with a flurry.

That string came to an end Thursday.

The Bulldogs fell behind by 11 points in the opening quarter at Mizzou Arena and never got closer than five the rest of the way, losing 51-44 to St. Vincent in a Class 2 semifinal. The loss places East Buchanan (25-2) in tonight’s 7:40 third-place game against Salisbury (3-1), while St. Vincent (23-6) will play Marionville (26-3) at 4:30 p.m. for the Class 2 title.

The loss was the second East Buchanan has suffered to St. Vincent in the state playoffs. The Indians defeated the Bulldogs 21-0 in the Class 1 football championship game in November.

“I think with these kids and everything I’ve seen out of them for four years, their attitude towards St. Vincent is they wish they had one more shot at St. Vincent,” East Buchanan coach Jayson Watkins said. “I think that’s what it will be. I don’t think it will be regret. I don’t think it will be sorrow. I think it will be I wish we all played baseball.”

East Buchanan’s effort almost seemed doomed from the start. St. Vincent jumped to an 8-0 lead behind four points from Alex Armbruster, who finished with a game-high 21. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs missed their first eight shots, including 0 of 4 by leading scorer Andrew Mead.

St. Vincent’s Pat Siegmund blanketed Mead most of the game. Siegmund held Mead to 5 of 19 shooting, including just 1 of 9 on 3-pointers.

“The man to my right, heck of a defense on No. 23,” St. Vincent coach Bruce Valleroy said. “Going into the game we knew we had to slow (Mead) down and contain him. Pat gets that assignment every game. He’s done a great job all year.”

Mead hit East Buchanan’s first field goal with 2 minutes, 5 seconds left in the first quarter to make it 8-2, but St. Vincent closed out the quarter with five straight points to make it 13-2 after one quarter.

The lead was as big as 13 in the first half, as East Buchanan finished the first half 3 of 17 as a team and down 21-10. The Bulldogs’ trap out of the 2-3 zone failed to create enough turnovers to make the Indians play East Buchanan’s up-tempo style. St. Vincent also outrebounded East Buchanan 24-11 in the first 16 minutes, with 10 of the 24 coming on the offensive end.

“They did do a great job of rebounding,” Watkins said. “I don’t know if it was necessarily our zone. We’ve rebounded well in it all season. I think we got shoved around a little bit in the first half. We knew they were going to be physical. I think they might have been a little bit more physical than we were prepared for. I think that’s what really propelled them to that big lead.”

The lead dwindled to five on two occasions in the fourth quarter, but Armbruster began slicing up East Buchanan’s zone with penetration. He scored the Indians’ first six points and made 4 of 4 free throws in the final quarter, while also picking up two of his four assists.

“They started playing a little more aggressive,” said Armbruster, who was also St. Vincent’s quarterback. “They started cheating a lot more, which left me open. They gave me some lanes, and they just weren’t picking me up.”

East Buchanan managed to cut St. Vincent’s lead to 30-25 after Mead stole the ball and went the length of the court for a two-handed dunk with 11 seconds left in the third. It gave East Buchanan some semblance of momentum, but the Bulldogs never found a sustained offensive effort, shooting just under 32 percent overall.

“When I was able to get that dunk, everybody’s up and really pumped up,” said Mead, who finished with a team-high 17 points. “Then we turn around and get a foul. That’s kind of how the game went. It reminded me a lot of the football game

From the paper that covers St Vincent

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- For the Class 1 football fans in the stands Friday at Mizzou Arena, the Class 2 boys basketball semifinal game between St. Vincent and East Buchanan must have seemed strangely familiar.
Following the guidelines of its football championship win over the Bulldogs, St. Vincent again ended East Buchanan's dreams of a state championship with a heavy dose of defense.

St. Vincent limited East Buchanan to 31.9 percent shooting and only 10 first-half points in a 51-44 win.

The Indians, winners of 12 straight and 21 of their last 23 games, will face Marionville in the championship game at 4:30 p.m. today. The Indians (23-6) defeated Marionville (26-3) in the semifinal round of the state football playoffs.

"I think the main thing is we knew they had a lot of athletes," St. Vincent senior guard Alex Armbruster said. "[Andrew] Mead was a heck of a receiver. We were maybe a little intimidated, but you have to think they were intimidated of us."

After shutting out East Buchanan 21-0 in the state football championship, St. Vincent's defense nearly pitched a shutout in the first quarter Friday. East Buchanan managed just two points in the opening quarter, scoring its first and only basket with less than 2 minutes remaining. The Bulldogs trailed 21-10 at the half after shooting just 17.6 percent.

"To hold them to only 10 points in the first half, that's amazing," St. Vincent coach Bruce Valleroy said.

The Indians were in control for nearly the entire game. East Buchanan cut the Indians' lead to 30-25 at the end of the third quarter on Mead's dunk, but that was as close as it got. St. Vincent's 11-for-18 performance from the free-throw line in the fourth period was enough for the Indians to advance.

Danny Rellergert was 7-for-13 from the line in the fourth and finished with 12 points.

"Danny Rellergert hit some big free throws down the stretch," Valleroy said.

Armbruster, St. Vincent's leading scorer, had eight points in the fourth and hit all four of his free throws. While the Bulldogs tried to push the tempo, Armbruster was always there to slow it down for the Indians.

"He steps up each game more and more," Valleroy said. "He gets the job done when we need him."

Added East Buchanan senior Jacob Carver: "I think Armbruster did a good job slowing it down."

For the Bulldogs (25-2), who were riding a 24-game winning streak heading into Friday's semifinal, the shots simply did not fall. Mead, who averaged 23.2 points per game heading into the state playoffs, hit just 5 of 19 shots and finished with 17 points.

"We knew coming into the game we had to shut him down," Valleroy said.

St. Vincent senior defensive specialist Pat Siegmund was given that job. Siegmund scored only two points, but he shadowed Mead every minute he was on the floor before finally fouling out late in the game.

"Look at the stats: Mead was 5 of 19 from the field," Valleroy said. "He did a great job on him."

Added Armbruster: "We knew Pat could stop him."

Mead had no excuses.

"I thought their defense did a good job switching off our picks," he said, "but when we got open looks, we didn't hit them."

The Indians will attempt to win their first basketball state title in their first final four appearance. A victory today against Marionville -- a 37-33 winner against previously unbeaten Salisbury -- would also make the Indians only the fifth squad to win both football and basketball championships in the same season.

"It's a heck of a way to end your senior year," Armbruster said. "It doesn't seem like it's going to be over tomorrow."

Armbruster finished with a game-high 21 points. Rellergert added 12 points and nine rebounds. Jacob DeWilde added 10 points and six rebounds. Siegmund also added nine rebounds, as the Indians outrebounded East Buchanan 38-30.

ST. VINCENT 51, EAST BUCHANAN 44

Where SV player stuck with andrew, there was a reason he fouled out. Everytime andrew turned the corner on him, he just stuck out his arm and pulled him back, having played with andrew to many times to count, this pisses him off more than anything. of the 14 shots andrew missed this guy was near him on 3 or 4. Andrew was just off, and as Bill Gunn said, As Andrew goes so does EB
