High school basketball playoffs start Saturday

Missouri’s high school basketball postseason fires up Saturday with the start of the district playoffs.

Greenwood’s boys basketball team holds the No. 1 seed in Class 2 District 10, scheduled for play at Skyline High School in Urbana. Senior Julius Walker, now Greenwood’s career leading scorer, leads the Blue Jays (20-3) into the tournament on an 11-game winning streak.

In four years, Walker scored 2,055 points and averaged a scoring and rebounding double-double through his junior and senior years. As good as Walker has been, Greenwood coach Darren Taylor said the rest of the Blue Jays have stepped up to power a fine season.
