District tournaments are well underway now across Missouri and we have some updates for you in a couple sports.
In baseball, the district championship game between Rock Bridge and Helias in Lebanon has been moved up to today at 4 p.m. because of the threat of rain on Thursday.
In girls soccer, Rock Bridge advanced to the district championship game last night with a 3-0 win over Wentzville Timberland. Alexis Bumby scored twice and Kelsey Reimler added another goal. The Bruins advance to play Troy, which beat Hickman 3-0 on Tuesday.
Watch for highlights of the baseball district title game tonight and soccer championship game on Thursday on KOMU-TV.

John Burns resigns from Hickman
Both KOMU and the Columbia Tribune reported tonight Hickman boys basketball coach John Burns resigned today to take a job at Mesquite High School in Gilbert, Arizona.
This comes as a shock to me as a semi-outsider who saw the Kewpies improve to a 17-9 record this past season. The team had several close, surprising wins, including a buzzer-beater in the district playoffs against Troy. It seemed the future was bright at Hickman with Burns' reputation and record coming in, and a very solid finish to what was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the Kewpies.

Big night in Columbia
Last night was a huge night for high school baseball in Columbia. Both Rock Bridge and Hickman were home and both turned in interesting performances.
Hickman was down 2-0 to Rolla after just a half of inning, but rallied for an 11-run bottom of the third to beat the Bulldogs 14-3 in five innings with the run rule in effect. The Kewpies now stand at 9-6 as they head into a makeup game Wednesday afternoon at home against Francis Howell.
Rock Bridge, ranked first this week in the state poll, was knocked off by Helias 7-2 in Columbia. The loss ends a 14-game winning streak for the Bruins, who now stand at 17-2.
Check back for much more tonight on the latest edition of High School First Pitch.
