Page "Brashear, Missouri" Paragraph 5

Not long after the destruction of the first high school, a northern Missouri legend was born: the annual Brashear Basketball Tournament.

The year 1918 saw the birth of organized school basketball at Brashear, and by 1927 the first tournament was held.

Through good times and bad the tournament has persevered to become one of the oldest in Missouri.

The Brashear Lady Tigers won back-to-back Missouri Class 1A state basketball titles in 2003 and 2004.

On June 3, 2010 the Brashear Tigers baseball team competed in the Missouri Class 1A baseball championship game, taking second place.

Brashear ia a charter member of the Tri-County Conference in athletics, academics, and music.

A series of bond issues in recent decades has led to construction of some of the newest school facilities in northeast Missouri.

Brashear Lady Tigers players celebrate their first Missouri Class 1A basketball championship, March 2003.

The team would repeat as state champs in 2004.
