Big Schools in Small school Tourneys
- Thread starter AAUbingo
- Start date
Some big schools aren’t very good, and some small schools are really good. I agree on Marshfield bc they are a pretty good team but Glendale and Bolivar weren’t expected to be very good this season. I don’t know who Bolivar played but the Glendale win wasn’t expected.
So it all depends on the caliber of teams in a given tournament.

When he mentions Glendale, I’m assuming he’s referring to the Blue Eye tournament…
Anyone who watches girls basketball knows that Blue Eye beats Glendale 5 out of the last 5 years more than likely.
Sounds like someone is whining.

West Plains isn’t in that tourney are they? I don’t believe they are.
Guessing you’re just using that as a hypothetical example lol.
Usually they just do, FG, P&W, and Nixa tourney
Just a hypothetical example. I dont even know if there is a Halfway Tournament
Well I knew it wasn’t on the schedule, but it also shows over a week until their next game so I’m like… “no way” 🤣🤣🤣
Glendale has been in that tournament for a few years and I don't think they have ever won it.
Who do you think authorized them being allowed to play in their tournament?
Could it possibly be the Class 1 host Fair Play? 😳
Yes I understand how tournaments work. I didn't say they shouldn't be allowed I said they have no business being in it. Bolivar is the one I am condemning for doing it. Is the Bolivar program that bad they have to schedule down to get a few wins? I just don't see the benefit of it. I was under the impression you get better playing better competition.
According to MSHSAA, Bolivar Girls won 5 games last year and have averaged about 8-9 wins/year over the last 3 seasons.
Glendale had not even made the finals before. Has been playing in one of the early games on the final day.
As long as the team from the bigger school is really bad I don't actually have much of an issue with this.
Varsity score vs Kickapoo last year 71-7.It's Hillcrest man, not Kickapoo. It doesn't matter who they play in the first round of district, they are losing by 40 if they play a better schedule, by 45 if they play in the Hermitage tournament and play weaker teams
JV score was worse than that. Hillcrest is trying to raise numbers of participants to try to grow the program. This is the only way to do it. Go compete. And when you get better, schedule better.
Not a great look for them when they lose in a class 1 tournament and their HC goes on social media blaming small town refs for his team losing by double digits before taking it down. They would've got turbo clocked in the championship game if they could've even made it.It's Hillcrest man, not Kickapoo.
