COLUMBIA - Seven Kickapoo seniors got to close their basketball careers with a win.
Kickapoo (26-5) defeated Chaminade 89-78 in the third-place game of the 2017 Class 5 boys basketball playoffs at Mizzou Arena in Columbia. Less than 24 hours after a 58-57 loss to Webster Groves in the semifinals, Kickapoo rebounded to end the season with a win.
Five Chiefs players scored in double figures, led by Cameron Davis with 29 points.
“I got emotional out there because I know this is one of the biggest parts of my life, for sure, but we ended it the right way,” Davis said.
