I see where they are #1 in class 4. Who have they played. Traditionally they play against slot of small schools and lose early in the playoffs.
Doniphan
- Thread starter CoachFox-ScreamingEagles
- Start date
They beat Class 6 Poplar Bluff by 38 but other than that, I think they’ve played 1 Class 4(Kennett) and everyone else has been smaller schools(Class 2 mainly)
I watched them play Liberty early in the year and they have another game tonight with them. They are not the best team in class 4. Maybe towards the bottom of the top 10 IMO. They play really really hard. They get up in your shorts defensively and if a team cannot handle that type of full court pressure it is going to be a long night. I would say they will roll thru their schedule pretty easily and then run into a team with a couple good guards and be done in the playoffs. But they are impressive in how hard they play. They also have like 4 solid freshman, so they will be good like this for a few more years.
Doniphan beat Liberty at Doniphan tonight about about 15. Liberty packed in a zone the 1st quarter and kept the ball out of their post players hands then went man to an for some reason the rest of the game and Doniphan pulled away in the 2nd has.
BTW Doniphan hosts Cape ND in the next week or so. Good thing for both since they will be in the same district this year.
I think they are. Cape ND is in the district with Doniphan this year and they will play at ND the 15th. Doniphan has 2 freshmen that have played well. One started off with a couple of big games to start the season but has cooled off some, the other had about 25 against EC last night and 15 of em came in the 3rd quarter and she is quick as greased lightning. The ND game will let em know more about where they'll stand come playoff time.
Doniphan added Licking to their schedule this year. How far apart are those towns? 2.5 hours?
Going to find out a lot about Doniphan this week as they host Notre Dame Cape on Wednesday.
Doniphan just won at Jackson 65-53 and had the lead about 90% of the game. Game was picture only, no announcer. Jackson has a post player that has to be about 6'4" she was taller than Doniphan's post players that are about 6'2". If any of you want to watch the Doniphan- ND game Current River Radio does a youtube broadcast with announcers and they do JV and Varsity.
A dandy in doniphan tonight with doniphan winning by 2 in OT over ND Cape. The rematch in districts is going to be great
Success factor has them in class 4. They would be in class 3 with out that.
Well they were in 5 last year or the year before. Maybe both I think.
Guess they had some points fall off.

That’s what I was wondering. Pretty sure they were still winning district titles and making final 4s in C5
Because the points are accumulated over a period of 6 years. If some of the points were on the back end of the years and they fell off it could lead to them dropping.
Looking at the list on the MSHSAA website it shows they earned 2 pts in 22/23, 1 pt in 21/22, 1 pt in 20/21, 2 pts in 19/20, 1 pt in 18/19 and 0 pts in 17/18

How would making the Final 4 make you lose points? I doubt you have to win a title every year to gain points.
The whole system these days is goofy. There is no way boys and girls teams at the same school should be playing in different classes and we have two of them in the same conference that would be split up in the post season if they got past district play.
Another good one in Doniphan tonight. Back and forth all night but Doniphan won the 4th quarter and the game. Kenzie Redus for Doniphan had a career high 35 points.
ND Cape takes the rematch by 2. Doniphans first loss on the season
Lift for Life vs. Ursuline Academy would be my C4 title game today but am rooting for CHILLICOTHE.
Congrats to Doniphan to making it to the state finals. Would not have seen that one coming, but they are good.
They’ve got a lot of size, athleticism and just flat out play hard from what I saw yesterday. The game against Benton today should be a good one.
It will likely be the only close one today. Gonna watch the first two but just likely report scores unless something shocking happens.
