Early Final 8 predictions for each class.

[17fundamentals]

Top ten polls are great, but we all know they can get region heavy with only one team of 3 or four rankers knocked out in an area.

So, what do you guys think for regional rankings at the different classes?

IMO:

Class 1:
Nw: stanberry, Winston...everybody else

se: advance...everyone else

NE: Glasgow, Mercer, Tina Avalon

Sw: walnut grove, everyone else

Stanberry, Winston, yes
Advance, yes
Glasgow, yes, Mercer, maybe, Tina Avalon, with a 500 record, no
WG, yes

TA is a sleeper...lost by 2 to winston.

 

[777-9311]

A Winston-Mercer final in 1A would be interesting. With Mercer girls in the final 4.

CLASS 1 CLASS 2 CLASS 3
Advance Thayer Charleston
School of the Ozarks Valle Catholic Central Park Hills
Walnut Grove Marceline Trans. and Law
Bronaugh Iberia Father Tolton
Glasgow Hartville Mountain Grove
Mercer Crane Fair Grove
Winston Rich Hill Barstow
Stanberry Wellington-Napoleon Lafayette County

There are some bad districts. There are also some very good districts with two or three good teams.

 

[HHSbasketall]

I can't see Bronaugh in the final 8. They lost Friday night to Hermitage 76-48.

 

[Warrior_2014]

Still a lot of basketball left before that point in the season. Anything can happen.

 

[westMOball]

I can't see Bronaugh in the final 8. They lost Friday night to Hermitage 76-48.

I can't either but that district is not good and neither is the district that the winner of it plays. I'm just not sold on Leeton . Could be Drexel or Chilhowee. Those two districts are wide open.

 

[MoSooner69]

School of the Ozarks in class 1 has a chance to make a run.. They are playing well.

 

[17fundamentals]

Hard to say for me...since they haven't played anyone that has played anyone as far as I know. Walnut Grove and Crane on Friday should be a good one!!

 

[MoSooner69]

They have taken care of everyone even close to their size they have played... They lost two games in a season opening tournament (one to Class 4 Reeds Spring on a banked in 3 at the buzzer and the other to Arkansas Class 7 Mountain Home, again on a shot at the buzzer.) and their third and only other loss was by 5 to a good Class 3 Mountain Grove team.

 

[17fundamentals]

Are they with Advance's side or Walnut grove? What is their personnel/style of play like?

 

[MoSooner69]

They would play Advance in the round of 8 if they both get that far and Walnut Grove in the semis They like to get up and down the floor but will play in the half court if its not there.. Like to shoot the 3

 

[westMOball]

School of the Ozarks in class 1 has a chance to make a run.. They are playing well.

I have them in my top 10. Be a good game between them and South Iron and then another with Advance maybe.

 

[MoSooner69]

Yeah, they lost to South Iron last year in the Sectional at Cabool last year..... almost the entire team is back

 

[westMOball]

Hard to say for me...since they haven't played anyone that has played anyone as far as I know. Walnut Grove and Crane on Friday should be a good one!!

This is one of the games Saturday at SBU. (Southwest Baptist University)

Walnut Grove will be in the finals I believe. They are very deep playing ten kids every game.

Will be a very good game. Crane was beaten by Sparta last night which WG beat by 12 points earlier in the year. But should be a very good game. This WG team is very fun to watch they score in bunches averaging in the neighborhood of 80 PTS per game
