Maryville plays host to the District 4AAAA tournament early next month.

Considering what the Lady Rebels and Heritage Lady Mountaineers have been up to this season, you’re going to want to see some of it. The two longtime rivals have staged a pair of barnburners this season, the last one an over-the-top, Ellah Wheelon walk-off in the ninth to hand the Lady Mountaineers a 5-4 win.
