SWMO 10 year run

[Ftballfan16]

The last 10 years in Class 1-3 SWMO has won 20 of the 30 state championships.
5/10 Class1
7/10 Class 2
8/10 Class 3

Any ideas why 1 region is so dominant? All regions play AAU and have camps and so on. Just curious.

 

[Arcola]

Lady Bear factor?

 

[Razzy417]

Someone said it elsewhere, but the fact that the Springfield area has had the Courts and Fieldhouse over the years has contributed. And some of it is just long established tradition at many smaller schools.

Courts is now being used for volleyball of course but the new arena in Strafford is now open and my understanding is that Mt Vernon is about to get a state of the art basketball facility

Don’t forget quarterfinal games are played in Springfield.

Not all of them.

1 out of 4 is. It’s for teams in this region. Where else should it be played? The booth hill?

Is the booth hill the name of an arena someplace?

Tough area to play when you are 2 1/2 hours away and they are local.

Boot heel. Lol hard to type on your phone with big thumbs.

Just making sure.........the older I get, the more there is that I realize I don't know.

I actually googled Booth Hill Arena so I didn’t look so dumb. Sadly nothing came up.

In STL area and much of the east side of MO, volleyball is a more popular sport for girls. For instance, the Mineral Area Conference has had one state champion (Park Hills Central in '15) in 40 yrs of girls basketball.

Looks like 3 teams carried the water

 

[HARDWORK3211]

Just for arguments sake let’s take those three teams out. That leaves SWMO 7/18 of the remainder of those championships. Is there another area that grabs seven out of those leftover 11?

side note: Crane was the only team to beat Skyline in playoff basketball the 4 years Crane won. All at State.

 

[Razzy417]

Let's take all the SWMO teams out. Now they have no state championships the last 10 years in Class 1 through 3

Mt. Vernon beat Stockton
Eldo beat Ash Grove
Crane beat Skyline twice.
Eminence beat WG
WG beat Chadwick

several instances of SWMO teams playing each other for championships.

So you have 3 or 4 programs then.
Anyone besides walnut grove in class 1?

 

[kaskaskiakid]

I will concede that SWMO is better in Class 1, 2, and 3. There! I said it.

Chadwick made a couple runs to state, but nobody has been near as consistently good in class 1 the last 10 years out of SWMO.

 

[WGTigerdad67]

Since 2007 Walnut Grove has been to the Final 4-9 times winning 5 State Championships 2 Runner Ups and 1-3rd place finish. I would say without a doubt they have been the best program in Class 1 for a long time. They’re poised to make another run at another State Championship this year as well.

 

[bhunt95]

Haven't watched class 1-3 girls basketball in a few years. But when I use to go to playoff games/state SWMO just played a more physical type of game compared to what I seen in NWMO.

 

[Hoopsquad20]

Gainesville girls lost to Crane and skyline ONLY in 2015 and 2016 or they would have won a title. Oh and their coach got fired for going like 58-5 and losing to crane and skyline...only lol.

Yes skyline has an impressive rune if final 4s

 

[millerbleach]

Is Hartville not in there somewhere? Usually there are 4-5 teams that could do well at state if not knocking each other off.

 

[millerbleach]

In class 2 SWMO has 4 of last 8 teams left this year.

How about class 1 and 3?
Thayer is closer to sikeston than to Springfield btw.
Must have been a bunch of swmo districts

One sectional had 2 SWMO teams. The other 3 beat teams outside the area.

 

[millerbleach]

Haven't looked but i think 2 in class 3 probably the max possible. Class one has a limited number in area too. Most are in a couple districts.

OK, they are in SCA which is in SWMO. They play a SWMO schedule. Why would a SEMO team play in a SWMO conf. against a SWMO schedule?

Thayer to Sikeston 122 miles, 2hrs 11 minutes. Thayer to Springfield 136 miles 2hrs and 18 minutes. Not much difference.

How about we just say that McDonald County encompasses all of southwest Missouri? Will that make you happy?

It appears the only class 2 'swmo' team moving on came from the bracket with only swmo districts.
Thats even counting a school closer to sikeston than springpatch as swmo.
Wg looked good. They'll carry the water again

They will still win half of them.

In class 2 not so much

SWMo can’t win class 2 every year. It just seems that way.
I said SWMo would win half of the state titles this weekend. They are going to win 4 of 6. Another dominating year.
Numbers don’t lie.

Should we make SWMO have their own state tournament?
