Hallsville is a team from central Missouri, in MSHSAA class 3, district 7. They are currently led by Coach Scott Allen.
They had three consecutive appearances at MSHSAA State from 2007-2009, where they were led by high scorer Taylor Smith.
Hallsville won the small school title at the 2013 NAQT Missouri Qualifier, finishing tied for seventh overall. Later that year, Hallsville B became the first ever small school eligible team from Missouri to advance to the overall HSNCT playoffs.
In 2014, Hallsville became the first small school eligible team to win the overall NAQT Missouri Qualifier title. Later that year, Hallsville won the first NAQT Small School National Championship Tournament with juniors Jared Lockwood, Josh Null, Logan Hansen, and sophomore Joel Adams. The next week, the school won its first MSHSAA state title by defeating Savannah in overtime after regulation ended in a 370-370 tie.
In 2015, the entire lineup returned, with Glen Decker also frequently joining the roster. Hallsville maintained its NAQT Missouri Qualifier and Class 3 MSHSAA State titles, defeating Savannah in the finals of both tournaments. At MSHSAA State, Hallsville set new Class 3 single game and total points records. Despite returning the entire SSNCT champion team, Hallsville finished in second at SSNCT, with two close losses to undefeated tournament champion Harmony Science North Austin.
