12/4 Rock Bridge vs Quincy Notre Dame @ Columbia College, Sophie Cunningham Classic
12/16 Rock Bridge vs Grain Valley @ Mizzou Arena, Norm Stewart Classic
As far as early season games go.....
Lebanon Hosts the Nevada Girls on 11/22
Should be a good one. Both teams could win 20+ games and compete for District Titles in class 5&4 respectively.
On Dec1st. Webb City and El Dorado Springs play in the Lady Tiger Invitational. Webb should be on the rise and who knows if Eldo will still be solid or not after their State Title run.
In Class 2 there should be some good matchups in the Gem City tournament in late November in Diamond.
Diamond, Greenfield, Miller and College Heights are all in it. All 4 should win 20 games this year.
My fault, pulled it up on my phone.
I wonder why so many tournaments have gone away from the seeding process and just selected matchups? Try to avoid teams playing 3 or 4 times in a season this way maybe?
Two early season games I am interested in are Helias against Blair Oaks and Licking against Owensville. Helias and Blair Oaks is two strong mid-mo programs. Licking and Owensville is interesting because those schools are a bit far from each other and haven't played since 2009 according to MSHSAA. Licking is a powerhouse class 3 program and Owensville is a strong class 4. I don't think either school would schedule that game unless they thought they were going to be pretty good.
Friday will have Class 4 #9 ranked California facing Class 2 #1 Tipton in the finals of the Tipton Tourney. Should be a good early season test for both schools. Tipton is also playing Class 4 #6 Cardinal Ritter on Sunday.
