MSHSAA FB schedules and notes pre-2023

[thetophat2021]

Happy Independence Day! Been working on NWCMO Pick Em (way early I know) have settled on 26 games so far (8 of them 8-man, a record without a doubt) but was wondering something on MSHSAA:

Why does it seem all the aforementioned 8-man and small-medium class 11-man schools have turned in their 2023 schedules but many of the KC Suburban ones remain blank? Do those leagues turn theirs in at once or are those the individual school's responsibility?

One final note again back to 8-man: This expansion continues (which I all but expect) will have to examine doing two contests side by side beginning in 2024. I guess the big question there is are any Central-SEMO-STL area schools considering moving to 8-man?

I hear Wellsville-Middletown and Community R-6 are looking to start 8 man in the next few years but nothing official yet.

Expect the remaining 11-man Louis and Clark schools to turn 8 man for the 24-25 season.

Cairo and Sturgeon have talked about football, not sure the seriousness though.

There are only a handful of the teams under that’s the enrollment cap that would go 8’man but it still needs to expand east before semo and Stl schools start dropping down

The remaining 11-man L&C teams should get a head start and go 8-man this season right @Veer2Eternity

I agree. Why delay it?

In other news, rumor is if Valle doesn't win a district for the fourth year in a row this coming season, they will drop to 8 man where they can't get moved up into the class they belong in. (AKA Class 3).


In seriousness though, why does MSHSAA require until after practice starts to set classification?
Some states are locked in and have been for a long time.
Ridiculous.

Thanks, Fort, yeah I am aware of that site just like to see everything on MSHSAA. Maxpreps also has most of them up to date. On that note anyone using that site notice they have some weird "pop up blocker" deal going on these days?

Since we turned over to a new year, 2024 schedules are up for some teams on MSHSAA....

Isn't the stock answer that they need to wait to see exactly who is having a team and who is not? Made some season during the covid year, but now not so much.

It is insane that teams start practice without knowing this information.

Hasn't Valle been Class 3 the last 2 or 3 years?

yes exactly where their potential population says they should be
They are in a class 4 (AT LEAST) county student population.
And don't let them lie to you. They take kids from out of county.

From out of county? Are they not supposed to?

 

[Veer2Eternity]

Oh i think it's fine.
Their fanboys claim they don't though.

Incoming freshman is open enrollment. Transfers after that have to have moved within a 25 mile radius of the school. The 25 mile radius acts as an unofficial boundary.

 

[BearsCountry]

Ste. Gen County - 18k population
Bates County - 16k population

Not to mention the best kid in 8 man next year that lives in Adrian.

@thetophat2021 what is your take on BSS this season? Will they regress from last years success or keep building?

Assuming the coaching staff has stayed intact I think Wilmes and Co keep it going. The issue will be how strong the top end of Class 6 is likely to be BUT I think they will attain another winning season.

I am locked into Weeks 1-3 (PC and FTO at Kearney then the big Sep 8 Kearney at Smithville). Looking at a Friday in STL (hsmaniac-raw meat meet up game) and leaning toward the Nixa-Joplin game Week 5. Will definitely let you know what I can come up with!
