The Spartans made its first trip to the Jewell Classic worth every minute of the commute from Columbia.

Battle took the championship of the Holley Division with a 63-49 win over North Kansas City. The Spartans were ranked No. 7 in Missouri Class 6 entering the event, and finished with a win over Class 6's No. 15 Liberty in the semis and the No. 3 Hornets for the title. 

Ke'Shun Jackson netted a game-high 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Spartans, while Tate McCubbin scored 12 and was named Most Valuable Player of the Holley Division.

North Kansas City's Samuel Dada scored a team-high 14 points and grabbed 13 boards, and was named to the Holley Division all-tourney team.
