Does Steelville stand a chance against Miller? Both have played Strafford tight and squeaked out wins. Miller is athletic. Steelville seems to live or die by their 1-3-1. Not sure Steelville has much of a chance against the athleticism of Miller. Anyone else have better insight on this game? After Steelville beat Strafford this game seems really intriguing. Based on scores of other games I could see Miller winning by 12 or more or it being close. I ultimately think Miller wins and gets to the final four after missing it back to back years. I may have to buy the stream if it’s on MSHSAA TV.
Miller vs Steelville

Steelville executes their 1-3-1 extremely well. Their rotation is spot on. Not sure who Miller has that can stop Steelville’s big. With that said, Helton for Miller is gritty and can make things happen. Should be a good game
Will Steelville ever get the respect they deserve...they turbo clocked Carl Junction and the master recruiter Brad Shorter. If you attended that game you wouldn't ask if Stealville has a chance.
Steelville is an extremely good team. Their post might not be the biggest girl, but she is a legitimate 6-footer, strong, and skilled. Their 1-3-1 is suffocating if you can't consistently hit shots from the outside. They will stay in the 1-3-1 and force teams to keep hitting threes the whole game, which most teams are not able to do for three or four quarters.
Ouch dont like Shorter? Lol Steelville looks to me like they can play but thats just going by scores and teams they played. I dunno if shorter is the master. I think maybe Kickapoo may have that title 😂
I heard Webb fans last night upset that a few girls have moved to CJ to play basketball. Yes WC fans were upset about kids moving to another school district to play a sport.
In an earlier post you said Steelville was a top 5 team in the state in class 3. Why would you ask if they had a chance to win? Obviously you know they have a great chance to win. They are probably favored to win as they just beat the 5 time defending champion. If Miller struggles shooting from 3 Steelville could win by double digits.
Obviously I know they have a chance to win. They have been playing well. However they did lose to Salem. So I guess it depends on what team shows up. I do think they have potential to be a top 5 team. Their last two games they have played like a top 5 team. To say they are favored is kind of a slap in the face to Miller who is the number one team in the state. Again, I think it could be a close game or a game Miller pulls away in late. I don’t see anyway that Steelville wins this by double digits. We will see tomorrow. I’m going to buy it on MSHSAA Tv and watch. Hope it’s a good game.
To say either team will win going away isn’t the best method at this point while looking at common opponents. Miller is extremely athletic and have earned the right to say they are the number 1 team in the class and are the favorite. The Salem loss for Steelville, I believe they were missing a starter, a starter that is extremely integral on both sides of the ball. Steelville plays a defense that most don’t see and they do it well. If Miller shoots well, it spells trouble for Steelville but the opposite could be said for Miller not shooting well. Personally, looking at both teams, I believe rebounding will be the deciding factor, which I lean towards Miller there. Steelville is peaking right now, they hit a few outside, their confidence grows and they head to the Final Four but Miller can have more go wrong and still win. Best of luck to both but I’d like to see the Cardinals from Crawford County march on!
Gotta hit free throws. Miller 0-6 in the last minute. Twice went to the line to tie it and missed every one. Congrats to Steelville.
Unfortunately Veer is the biggest DA on Mosports and has been for years. Sorry you took him serious. The guy thinks he is the smartest guy in the state with his snide comments but he can’t even coach himself out of a wet paper bag let alone hold a legit coaching position anywhere.
I figured the number one team in the state would win. Simple as that.
As for your other comments...maybe you should try coaching at struggling programs instead of hitting the road every time the talent runs out.
Best of luck!

I've seen several of Steelville's games on their facebook page this year. They are extremely good at the 1-3-1, but they will stick with it no matter what. So if a team is able to take care of the ball and hit shots against it, they'll have a chance to beat Steelville. I watched the Salem game and that's what happened. Steelville was healthy for that game, Salem just took care of the ball and hit a bunch of three pointers. I think people have gotten a little jaded with what they consider a great team in recent years with what Strafford, IWA, Crane, Walnut Grove have done. Those teams and runs were not normal. Those teams were not just great, they were completely dominant. That's not normal. There are lots of great teams every season, there aren't many that are completely dominant. If we forget that we end up with stuff like Steelville being criticized for losing to Salem or Strafford being criticized for not beating Hartville by enough. Salem and Hartville were both good teams. They were 16-10 and 18-6. Steelville and Strafford (this year) are both great teams, but not completely dominant, so it shouldn't be stunning that they don't crush every good team they play or god forbid even lose a game to a good team. Dominance to the point of near perfection is not normal and shouldn't be considered a requirement to be great.
Not attacking Bluejay, his comment was just a good example for me to use. I think we could all stand to recalibrate our perspectives a little bit.
I agree with your assessment. I was incorrect in the Salem game and Steelville not being full strength. As you stated, Salem is not bad and teams can have bad nights. This has been a fun year to follow the tourney! Dominance is fun to watch and the teams you listed most definitely did, but I enjoy the competition that this year has provided. Best of luck to all the teams left!
