SJC defeated South Holt 46-38. SJC never trailed,and largest lead was 10. Most of the game was a 2-possession game. SH cut it to 3 with about 30 seconds left, but Zach Maggart hit key free throws down the stretch to close it out.

Officials were pretty bad. Very inconsistent. Favored SH early, but missed fouls on SJC in second half and SH coach was obviously dry frustrated with them.

Unless King City shocks the world tonight, it will be SJC vs. North Andrew tomorrow at 4:30.

Walnut Grove 86 Greenfield 55

Defending State Champion Walnut Grove wins District 5 for the 4th year in a row. Great win tonight by the Tigers. Gotta Love playoff basketball.

Still feel good about your boys facing Dora and Advance eventually? They are definitely going to have to run the gauntlet!
I still feel pretty good about the Dora game. Advance still scares me, though. In my eyes, Eminence and Dora definitely have the toughest road to the final four of anyone else.
 
District 13 went as expected with Winston winning it. 14 sane with Worth County. 15 North Andrew of course. 16 is where the surprise came from, Mound City knocked off Jefferson 44-37 in OT.

North Andrew-SJCS game was a great game. SJC gave them their biggest battle since Worth Vounty in December. SJC actually had the lead after 3 and it was a 4-pt game with a minute left. But SJC wasn’t able to make key shots done the stretch and NA pulled it out. This was the best I had seen SJC play defense. They frustrated North Andrew all night. I expect North Andrew and Worth County to both advance and play next Friday night. Worth County is also very good defensively and should give NA a challenge.

My picks for the first round:
Advance
Eminence
Jamestown
Green City
Walnut Grove
Lakeland
Worth County
North Andrew
 
Agree. I think Winston and Dora are the two that will give the biggest challenges.
I would agree. Dora is scary and could pull the “upset” some would say. I just think WOCO is better then Winston. More battle tested, no offense to Winston but they haven’t played the same schedule that WOCO has. I know Winston can’t control what Conference they are in but that’s just what I think.

At this point I don't think schedule matters one bit. Winston has a track record of success, way more so than Worth County. I think Worth county is a favorite in this game due to their size, age, and experience, but if you see some of the scores for Worth County throughout the year, they can be held down defensively (and Winston can guard!!). If this game is in the 40's, Winston has a real chance to move on.

Our cinderella by far is Sheldon, who will play Walnut Grove.

SEMO quarter
3 Advance 21-6 13.4 2.3
v. 25 Scott County Central (Sikeston) 10-15 0.7 4.7

v. 63 Sheldon 15-10 -11.7 -16.1

v. 17 Mound City 14-7 2.2 -4.2
8 Worth County (Grant City) 22-5 8.6 -3.4 v. 10 Winston 25-2 5.2 -11.1

Warm Takes:
-Worth County/Winston and Eminence/Dora are the Marquee matchups of the night, no doubt.
-I expect Chamois and Jamestown to be a close game as well.
-I would not be surprised if Slater beat Green City as well in an upset special.
-Walnut Grove might win by 45

Oh C’mon give Sheldon some credit. They will only lose by 35.:p But I gotta say congrats to them on winning that district just to get to play Walnut Grove. There are a ton of good matchups set up for tomorrow night. Should be fun. I fortunately I have to work so I’ll only be able to see final scores of the 4 NWMO games. Was really wanting to go up to the Civic Arena and watch them.
 
Some of you old boys don't understand that record doesn't tell the whole story. One of the teams you have poo pooed has played the #1 team in the state in class 2, #10 in class three, beaten two teams still in the final 16, and played many schools in class two and three. That would be a contributing factor in having a worse record than many of the teams in the finals. They have also beaten their matchup in the next step. Food for thought.

Young pup, you can't just join one day and start calling us wrong..oh wait, yes you can...welcome to the thread! :)

I don't think anyone recently mentioned record as far as a good qualifier. I'm basing my information off what I see from comparable scores. I've repeatedly said that Walnut Grove is a top team despite their record, which is not who you are talking about, but is relevant since they are a potential matchup.

Let me say congrats Green Ridge! District Titles are always earned. That being said, playing a top team isn't the same as beating them. They lost to C3 #10 by 40...and lost to C2 #1 by 19, Lost to Stover by 36, who recently got beat by 30 by Sacred Heart in the first round of districts, as the 8 seed. They have beaten Slater (district champs), and yes Lakeland by three (who is their matchup). I have felt this way all year, Walnut Grove has no equal in SWMO. Lakeland has a great record, but haven't beaten anyone of significance, IMO. Green Ridge may very well win this sectional game, but if you look at comparable scores, that pocket of Missouri hasn't really been validated. For instance, if you do a little digging, Green Ridge had a dog fight with Chilhowee, who lost to North Andrew by around 30. Fair Play beat Lakeland...and Fair Play lost 57-83 to WG. Of course this is all my opinion (except the scores). Comparable scores aren't a great measuring stick either a lot of times due to matchups, and who knows in playoff basketball?

The great thing about having a playoff (looking at you D1 football) is they can play it out. If they are legit, then will have the chance to prove it. The Walnut Grove team they will potentially play is a HEAVY HEAVY favorite and have arguably played the toughest schedule in C1 in the state (although Maxpreps doesn't think so).

Also, we all know that many of the top teams have been eliminated because they met up with another strong opponent (or were upset), so making the final 8 doesn't mean you are a top 10 team. For instance, one of the Dora or Eminence won't be in the final 8, but are both top 5 teams likely.

Correct, which is why they play the games. Some comparative scores are meaningless when the two top players are sitting out too. That Stover loss was with the two best players sitting and on their courtwarming, not ours. Same with some of the others. But that stuff is meaningless until the games are actually played. I agree that Walnut Grove is a heavy favorite, they are a tough nut to crack. I remember one game at Bolivar when Nolan McCauley single handedly put them in the final four with the most bizarre charging call I have seen in 55 years of watching high school basketball.

Why were the players sitting out? Just curious.
 
Lakeland might have a little something for walnut grove judging by that score.

Jamestown upset surprised me. So did the Advance game, having to win in overtime.

And looky there..Worth County is in the final 8. (Told you, pollsters). Worth County v. North andrew for the third time this year.
