The final days of Holiday Basketball Tournaments saw two MOARK Schools lose close contests.

For the Branson Pirates, they drop a 69-64 decision to Hillcrest in the Blue Division Third Place game of the Greenwood Blue and Gold Tournament. The game saw the Pirates control the first quarter and a half, the Hornets the following quarter and a half, followed by a back and forth fourth quarter which saw Hillcrest capitalize on a couple of late Branson turnovers to secure the win.

Meanwhile, the Hollister Tigers dropped a tightly contested Fifth Place game at the Walnut Grove Boys Tournament as Ash Grove prevailed 66-64. Owen Houser scored 18 points to pace the Tigers.
