Opening night of the Third Annual Belle Varsity Boys Basketball Tournament provided fans with a thrilling first game and a raw display of athleticism in the second game.

Kicking off Monday night’s tournament twin bill was the top-seeded Newburg Wolves facing the second-seeded Owensville Dutchmen.

Owensville led the majority of the game before seeing Newburg come-from-behind to steal a 57-56 win.

Game two saw Missouri Military Academy simply outplay the host Belle Tigers in a game that saw the Colonels open with a 26-7 first-quarter run leading to a 73-36 win.

A complete recap of the Third Belle Boys Basketball Tournament can be seen in next week’s Maries County Advocate.
