Maybe he'll heal faster. I guess he should be back in time for district play.

So I'm late to the party, but I have insight on how South Iron lost to Ellington. Brock Wakefield, the stud sophomore for the SI Panthers, broke his hand in the game before they played Ellington. He'll be out until around time for Districts.
Thanks for that info. I had heard they’d lost a key player. Just hadn’t heard who or what.
Mound City continues undefeated start with a 62-56 win over Class 2 Mid Buchanan tonight. With that win, they will now face off with Jefferson to decide the winner of the North Platte Tournament. This is matchup 3 of a possible 4 to be played this year. MC is 2-0 against them with 2 close wins in each of the other 2. MC also won tonight with out one of there 5 starters out with an illness tonight.
They looked darn good still without him last night. Seeing them for the first time last night, I was impressed. They are so young. They will be a team to watch in the coming years. The Osbern kid is a special player and he’s only a freshman. Wish I could attend the matchup vs Jefferson today
For the third time this year, Jefferson got out to an early lead, but Mound City was able to come back again and win 54-51. They remain undefeated. Round 4 will most likely be on February 26 in the state sectional in St. Joe.
I’m not 100% convinced that Mound City is the team to beat in NWMO. They should move top 3 in state polls this week in my opinion. As of right now, Mound City is my pick to come out of NWMO and represent them at the Final 4. I just don’t think Winston will be able to take them down, unless MC gets nipped by Jefferson on 4th attempt.
Thanks for updates, guys. I think it’s still SEMO and NWMO’s world this year. Semo teams having the edge. Dora doesn’t appear to be letting up at all, Eminence is very experienced with two really nice players, and South Iron is a bit of a wild card.
In regards to Mound City’s position, I would agree they are the front runner. I would also agree that doesn’t mean they are a sure thing. It’s one thing to play in a title game at a tourney, but another all together to play with the possibility of your season ending. Winston and Jefferson are both solid, disciplined teams that will be consistent. While Winston doesn’t have the strength of schedule of Mound City or Jefferson, do not sleep on their ability to hold people down defensively. Also, I’d be shocked if you could ever hold Jacob lewis under 25 points in a game. I could see Winston starting hot and resorting to a strategy to stymie Mound City too. Mound City wants to play uptemp, and Winston and Jefferson are both disciplined enough to limit possessions.
Somewhere in the bushes lies North Andrew, Wellington Napoleon, and Mercer as well. North Andrew has hung with Jefferson at times, has the toughest schedule of all the teams down the stretch, and has no pressure and nothing to lose. Given the right night, they could pose a threat, just not super high probability at this time.
The upcoming games where Winston and Mercer face off will give some clarity possibly to the strength of those two teams.
All that being said. If Mound City gets hot or realizes how good they are (even though they are 20-0), no one can beat them. I’d sure hate to play Jefferson a 4th time though after winning 3 extremely close games.
Also factor in a sectional and quarterfinal matchup on a longer floor in St. Joe, which I’m not sure who that favors.

Watching Mound City the other night, I realized that they have 7 guys that on any night can score 15. They had 3 guys get onto NP All tournament team. And they can defend very well. Not saying they can’t/won’t lose. But they seem to be ready to take that step forward and get themselves to state.
In all 3 games against Jefferson, Mound City got down early but was able to go on a run. All three were close wins. Jefferson is not far behind. They just haven’t been able to close out the games.
North Andrew has looked like world beaters at times (1st Worth County, Pattonsburg, Mid-Buch), but they have not been been playing as well lately. I am not sure they have the consistency to make a run. They are capable of pulling off an upset, but I am not sure they can beat Mound City, Jefferson and Winston in 3 straight.
I agree..they haven't shown that level of consistency..of those teams, they are the least experienced, even though they have several upperclassmen.

Mercer beat Meadville at Meadville by 9....and then Winston beat Mercer by 14 at Mercer last night. Lakeland might be good, and stats are in maxpreps, but can’t imagine they will stack up well with any of the top semo teams.

South Iron ladies and gentlemen.... they are footloose and fancy-free. Uptempo fast break, press, shoot the long shots or get a layup.

I’ve only watched them once and I was very impressed. Agree with your assessment.
They have a lot of tradition going back over 50 years. I remember being a member of the last team to beat them when they won the Class S Tournament in the 65-66 season. We were a class M school. They had a couple of better teams previously, but timing is everything and it doesn't work out because some years there is overall better competition. Also one year a great shooter came up with the mumps and was out for the season after dropping 44 in a playoff game.
I always said when I was coaching, that sometimes it’s not who you’re bringing back, but who the other guys aren’t.
I always liked when a team that went 4-22 bragged that they were bringing back all their starters the next year...... I always thought, cool, no need to worry about you this year.
Yep, can't make chicken salad out of chicken feathers.

Still Lazy....so no color code.
I will say, Wellington Napoleon will likely play for a district title (between them and #13 Southwest Livingston)
North Andrew and Milan (C2#1) will play Saturday.
East Atchison will be playing Jefferson and Mound City this week as well, giving Mound City their last real test in the regular season.
I think Slater is still my favorite in the NE region, but their district is tough, so wouldn't be surprised if they don't make it out of their district either.
Sleepers for each region:
Southeast there aren't any real sleepers, but I have Dora as a heavy favorite, so Eminence would be a surprise after losing a dyer twin and suffering that 17 point loss earlier to Dora this year. Maybe Risco?
Northeast: Mendon, Glasgow, Linn County
Northwest Missouri: Wellington Napoleon, Mercer, North Andrew if you can call a top 10 maxprep team a sleeper

Any updates from the other regions? District Seeds will be set here pretty soon, with I think a few posted already. (6, 11, and 13 are in Mshsaa)
Is Dora the overall favorite? Think Mound City will run the table for the "Gauntlet"?
Anyone have any better insight into NEMO and SWMO? Lakeland or St. Elizabeth, Meadville or Slater? (Slater is the 3 seed in their district under Mendon and Meadville) Glasgow the 4.
Will Eminence be able to get back to ruling SEMO? South Iron have the ability to dethrone the other two?
Will Winston be able to overcome Mound City? Will Jefferson Get Mound City in the 4th attempt?
Who can be the "Chamois" of last year?

It may happen to do some with their strength of schedule. Only Dora, Mound City, SCC, and Delta of the top ten offensive teams have a SOS above -2.0. Only North Andrews has a SOS above -2.0 of the top ten defensive teams. Weak schedule can make you look great offensively or defensively.
Top ten teams with the most wins and a SOS of -2.5 or better. Dora 20-1, South Iron 17-2, Eminence 17-4, Slater 17-4, Mound City 16-0, Jefferson 16-3, St. Elizabeth 16-5, North Andrew 15-3, Pattonsburg 13-4, Delta 13-9
I personally think Mound City can run the “gauntlet” they are a complete team. Who can defend the basketball very well. And the offense is outstanding. If they beat East Atchison this week I like the chances to go to the Final 4. That means to huge matchups with Jefferson in the Sectional round. (4th matchup) then Winston in the Quarters. Both in St Joe. You bet I’ll be attending both of those games.
