Top performers from each team

After four days (Dec. 26-30), 26 games and 40 hours of listening to fans at the Show Me Center scream, "Get the rebound!" and "That's a foul!" the Southeast Missourian Christmas Tournament is now in the books.

Cape Central has once again claimed the Southeast Missourian Christmas Tournament championship by defeating Jackson. Notre Dame walked into the tournament 1-5 and walked out 4-6 with a third-place plaque. Kelly defeated its rival Scott City for fifth place, and Scott County Central won the consolation final in a district battle against Bell City.

Sixteen teams entered the tournament, and each team had a player who put in a star performance at the Show Me Center. Here is the best performance from each team in the tournament (as seeded).
