Here’s how the private schools did in 2022:
34 of 307 schools competing in districts (11.1%)
Overall (Classes 1 - 6)
Round of 16: 13 of 96 (13.5%)
Round of 8: 8 of 48 (16.7%)
Round of 4: 6 of 24 (25%)
Champ Games: 4 of 12 (33%)
Overall, not as bad as it may seem. We usually focus on the 3 potential state champs as opposed to the 13 of final 96. Just interesting data. I think I’ll go back and do the last 10 years. Hypothesis: similar numbers each year. Not a large percentage until we get to the semis and championship games, that’s when it becomes a bit disproportionate.
For the record, I am NOT for splitting public and private. I AM for MSHSAA actually doing their job and enforce blatant recruiting / undue influence and transferring without moving. They could clean up STL and it would get a lot better, but they won’t touch it. They aren’t going to risk a PR disaster and I’ll leave it at that.
