They announce them by the day Sunday-Thursday and I will post each as known by those days.

So far these have surprised me if a bit. I still have 6 large class schools on my list so someone got left out...............

Ah…gotcha. Thanke

 

[thetophat2021]

NOW I understand what they are doing here: these are by enrollment not classification.

 

[RawMeat_III]

NOW I understand what they are doing here: these are by enrollment not classification.

The Post classifies schools with an enrollment < 1000 as “small.” School with an enrollment over 1000 are considered “large.”

 

[DazeWork]

For large schools, guessing 1 through 4 will be East St Louis, DeSmet, Edwardsville, & CBC……Wild they left Kirkwood off the list imo

 

[DazeWork]

Thinking the last 4 small schools will be Ritter, Lutheran North, Belleville Althoff, & Festus

I had Parkway North on my list but not sure if their enrollment puts them in large or small class here.

Of course st.louis would classify by enrollment and not class. Privates rule STL

Only reason I can think why STL Today would rank Hillsboro, Seckman, Summit, and St. Dominic is because of their records from last year. Summit lost a lot of senior impact players as did Hillsboro and St. Dominic. Seckman's got some pieces back, but you can't take them seriously with the schedules they've played the last handful of seasons despite all of the wins they've racked up. Leaving Kirkwood and Eureka off the list is truly baffling.

They have a huuuuge offensive line led by Jack Lange (Mizzou) and another kid going to Missouri State. Really good run game and can play solid defense. I think they beat Francis Howell on Thursday.

As of now planning to watch that one! Several good openers over that way this year!

First time I can remember there is a nice Adrian preview on prepskc.com. It is in the "Independents" section.

For those of you, like me, who follow other states the NATIONAL spotlight comes to East Saint Louis this Saturday at 7 PM as perennial Chicago stalwart Loyola Academy comes calling.

This should be on NFHS I will source if available anywhere else................

I think their impressive win over Francis Howell sent a strong message.

Yeah they were really good last year and was surprised they were not in top 10

I think Eureka lost several tight games to juggernauts last season and went an embarrassing 6-4. An anomaly.

They went 5-4 in reg season then finished 8-5 losing in state quarterfinals by 3 to a very good cape central team.
