Rocket, Two of the top class 4 teams in Missouri goes down ( Sikeston 10-1----St. Mary's 11-1 )

[metro-dude]

I attended the SLUH @ St. Mary's game @ 1:00 PM today. St. Mary's was never in the game as the Jr. Bills won 61-50 . The Jr. Bills have four 6'7"-6'8" big men in their rotation and they have Brandon McKissic 6'3" @ guard. Brandon is one of the top three guards in St. Louis and will be playing for UMKC next year. I see SLUH and Webster as the two big hopes to defeat Chaminade. Chaminade and SLUH are in the same district and I picked SLUH last week to advance since the district is @ SLUH.

Undefeated Sikeston and St. Mary's ranked 1 and 3 in Missouri (Class 4 ) go down within two hours of each other. Sikeston losing to McCluer ( Now 8-5 but not ranked in St. Louis ) was a big surprise to me. McCluer is in the Sub. North conference have had trouble competing against Hazelwood Central, McCluer North and Pattonville. McCluer is now 8-4 and appear to be on a roll. Two of their defeats were to class 4 Jennings.

Rocket, You and I disagree on a bigger schedule for Sikeston but the SEMO Conference and the Zumwalts Tournaments will not prepare Sikeston for these quick athletic black teams when they are shooting well. The SEMO Conference is down this year, Class 1 Advance and class 2 Oran has proven that. Advance lost to Charleston by 6 but had a chance to win and class 2 Oran took Charleston into overtime before losing by one point.

I'm guessing Vashon ( Big-Big schedule ) will be # 1 in class 4 when the new polls arrive. Rocket, who are the big wins on the Sikeston schedule to date?

I'll post the Chaminade-Champaign Central score shortly.

Metro...#4 Helias lost today to (gasp) Notre Dame - Cape....of the terrible SEMO Conference. Sikeston hammered ND earlier this year. I guess that's the lone "big win."

By your same words...is St Mary's good? Just the other day, you were almost giving them the state title. Now, they lose once and you throw them under the bus. And,'for the record, I'm sure St Mary's is still very good.

No excuses here, but McCluer played well today...the Dogs did not. It was the Dogs second game in less than 24 hours (no excuse...just facts). We came out flat off a big win against a state-ranked rival and got beat. McCluer shot VERY well and out rebounded the Dogs...an anomaly. It happens. The season isn't over and we stil get to play the rest of the games and look to make a deep playoff run.

Who are these amazing teams that Vashon and St. Mary's have played? I know Vashon played Jonesboro and St. Mary's played SLUH. We play Chaminade. I'm sure nobody will respond and metro-dude will answer my question with more rhetorical questions. But I'm curious of who these juggernauts are that they have scheduled.

I don't know much about Sikeston other than what I read on here. From most of the opinions they are a pretty solid team. I have seen Vashon play a few times. I do know that during the summer they played some good teams. Kickapoo had the opportunity to play Vashon twice, each winning 1. I know Kickapoo is not a Juggernaut but they are one of the top teams in the state.
