Republic boys basketball coach Trevyor Fisher grew up watching the Greenwood Blue and Gold Tournament.
Fittingly so, he gave the Tigers the weekend to celebrate winning the 2016 Blue Division championship. Republic beat Glendale 72-50 Thursday night at JQH Arena in the Blue bracket final behind ball control and a smothering defense.
Republic will wait to worry about playing in the Bass Pro Tournament of Champions in January.
“We’re focused on celebrating and enjoying this Blue and Gold. You grow up in southwest Missouri, this is the tournament that you want to win, and I’m glad our six seniors got the opportunity to experience that.
