Day four of the Ozark Foothills Conference Tournament brought the third place games for JV boys, varsity girls, and varsity boys. Doniphan played Twin Rivers for the JV third place trophy. Doniphan won this game 56-41. The varsity girls' third place game featured the (3) Naylor Lady Eagles and the (4) Greenville Lady Bears. Naylor started the game with some hot shooting from their sophomore, Kaylynn Johnson. The Lady Eagles led at the half 23-5. Greenville decided they were not yet finished and flipped the game with a 17-5 third quarter to end the quarter down 28-22. The game was hard fought in the fourth quarter. Johnson's shooting started to pull Naylor away again for a final of 46-38. The Lady Eagles were led in scoring by Johnson with 23 pts. The Lady Bears were led in scoring by senior McKenzie Miller with 14 pts and senior Tristin Porter with 13 pts. 

The (3) Doniphan Dons took on the (5) East Carter Redbirds in the varsity boys' third place match. Unlike the girls' third place game, this game was nip and tuck from the very beginning. Back and forth we went. After the first quarter we were tied at 14. At the half it was 26-22 in favor of the Redbirds. In the third quarter, it was more of the same. Neither opponent could get more than two possessions away from the other. At the end of third it was 39-34 - Doniphan had claimed the lead. Into the fourth we went, with nothing yet settled. The fourth was a similar battle. This game went to the closing minute with Doniphan holding on 48-45. What a great game to watch for the third place trophy. The Dons were led in scoring by their senior Trent Lippoldt with 18 pts, their sophomore Orie Owens with 15 pts, and senior guard Wyatt Marler with 10 pts. The Redbirds were led in scoring by sophomore Levi Boyer with 18 pts.
