 Gramps Braggin' Rights Missouri Boy's Class Six Basketball Ratings by District - 2/10/2021

As I stated earlier, I am not fully caught up on all teams in all classes but with district seeding meetings (some have already occurred) and tournaments right around the corner, I am posting what I have.  

The class five and six boys and girls both deal with super districts this year.  With the number of districts cut in half from 16 to 8, there will be more competition and a longer district tournament.  Winners go directly to the state quarterfinals.

Here are the Class Six boys ratings by district and my comments about each district:

District 1: SLUH, led by Saint University recruit Nick Kramer, will take this championship.

District 2:  CBC is too much for Parkway West or Eureka but you still have to play the game.

District 3:  At the beginning of the season, I thought Pattonville might surprise Chaminade in this district but a one-horse cart (Kellen Thames) does not have a chance against the five-horse chariot of the Red Devils.

District 4: Troy has been strong all year.  They might be challenged by a Zumwalt team but don't bet on it.

District 5: The boys and girls district 5 will be a battle between NIxa and Kickapoo and all I can say is that Nixa will win one and Kickapoo will win the other but I am not sure which.  LOL

District 6: Lee's Summit should handle a tough district.

District 7: Blue Springs is my favorite in district 7

District 8:  Yikes.  Could you pack any more top-quality teams into one district?  The toughest district in the state. Put money on Staley but it will be a full-out battle with Liberty or one of these other top teams to get a championship.

Who's showing up tonight? A listing of Missouri Boys Basketball teams by Consistency

 Who's showing up tonight?  That might be a coach's biggest worry from one game to another.  Will the team respond to the coaching this week?  Will the players give their best effort?  Will the team perform as expected? Those are some questions that are hard to answer for a group of boys between 15 and 18 years of age.  How well will they all perform in a game in which the opponent's coaching staff has been working to defend against your strengths and take opportunities with your team's weaknesses to win the game? It happens every night somewhere in the state of Missouri.  I rate teams on their season performance vs other teams and those ratings help me predict 80% of the winners.  What about the other 20%?  Something happens to disturb my karma.  LOL  Something happens in which the end result is unexpected, an upset or a blow-out between two equally rated teams.   It happened when Blair Oaks ripped Nixa for a 26 point win when the game should have been decided by a las

District 2:  Jobe Bryant and the Park Hill Central Rebels dominate. District 3:  St. James edges Owensville District 4: Confluence Academy spoils another Cinderella run by Lift for Life. District 5: How do you spell Domination...?  V-A-S-H-O-N District 6: MICDS and Whitfield could play three OTs to decide this.  I can't, you can flip your own coin.  Brandon Mitchell-Day might be the difference-maker here. District 7: St. Charles West, Orchard Farm, and Lutheran St. Charles battle for the title.  I sort of like Frankie May an

Gramps Braggin Rights Missouri Boys Class One Final Ratings 3/13/2022

 Updated 3/24/2022 Man, O, Man.  How about those Panthers of Annapolis, Missouri! I have nev/er seen a half like the first half of the South Iron and Stanberry Class One state championship game last night.  In what seemed like a close game early in the second quarter, the Panthers, behind Drenin Dinkins, exploded with 21 points to build a 20-14 game into a 41-20 route by half.  Dinkins, was on fire, hitting shots from 25 feet and driving into the lane for acrobatic floaters or dipsy-do layups.  It was literally the hot knife slicing through butter analogy.  Dinkins finished the first half with 29 of those 41 points, the second-most by a player in MSHSAA basketball history for one half. What was so remarkable to me was not the amazing Dinkins, but the versatility and interchangeable parts of the rest of the Panther squad.  Giving away more than a few inches in height, the Panthers didn't seem to miss a beat with the four or five substitutes that moved seamlessly, in and out of their
