2022 Blue and Gold: Nixa was lights out in Gold Division championship win over Logan-Rogersville

Since the beginning of the season, first-year Nixa head coach Brock Blansit said that Josh Peters would be known as one of the best shooters in southwest Missouri by the end of the season.

In Thursday night's Gold Division championship, Nixa's junior sharpshooter proved him right.

Peters knocked down seven 3's as a part of a 26-point performance in Nixa's dominant 59-38 win over Logan-Rogersville for the Gold Division crown. It was Nixa's first Blue and Gold title since 2014 and 11th in the 77 years of the tournament.

Nixa is now tied in second for all-time titles with Ozark.
