Eureka Girls Basketball Statistics - 2000-2022 June 9,2022

 I have been going back through the Post-Dispatch High School basketball stats for the Eureka boys and, now, have pulled up the Eureka girls statistics for Coach Jim Alsup.  Jim won a state championship back in 2000 and has had some real good teams and rolled up 400 victories in those 22 years, nearly 20 wins a season.

This past year's team was young and brings back several good seniors and a number of great juniors, but I won't get into that right now.  I just wanted to drop some of the stats summaries into the blog so that people can see the excellence in ball players over those 20 years.

Once I pull up each year's statistics, I run all the calculations (Value Player System, Efficiency, Effective Field Goal percentage) and then combine all the years and summarize each player's career.  I pulled the top ten for all statistics categories (points, points per game, rebounds, steals, etc).  This list does not include pre-2000 Eureka girls, which I hope to add at some time.

The second slide is the top 50 scorers in the 2000-2022 era and there have been some great ones, including the Hillyer sisters, Alex (2011-2014) and Kate (2018-2021).  Interestingly enough, four of the current players are in the top 50 and they still have a year or two to move up the list.

I will post the individual stats leaders and link those to this blog at a later date.

Gramps Braggin Rights Missouri Boy's Class four basketball ratings - 1/18/2022

Image
 I talked about MLK yesterday and then found this YouTube video of James Taylor's "Shed a little Light" by the Maccabeats and Naturally 7 singing the song in front of Lincoln's Memorial.  It is a stirring performance and tribute to Martin Luther King and worth watching HERE . So, lately, I have been trying to shed a little light on Missouri class four boys basketball teams.  Part of my problem was with Vashon, a team that is always seemingly on top of their class, and even one of the best teams in all of Missouri.  The problem has to do with rating the teams on their schedule....  Nationally ranked teams from across the United States.  Makes it difficult because rating all of their opponents requires diving down another deep rabbit hole to rate those teams before I can assign a rating for the Wolverines.  I often have to wait until mid-January, after they have played more local teams, to get an accurate rating of Vashon. The other complication with thi...

What makes a great feeder program?

 I recently published an interview with Smithville head basketball coach Eric Bennaka, who talked about how he was trying to change the culture in the school and town and build a more successful basketball program.  I thought that Eric had some great points and it was worthwhile to share on the blog.  Check it out HERE . Since then, I saw some Tweets about the Eureka Wildcat feeder program skill nights.     The Eureka Jr Wildcat feeder program is run by Matt Benz as part of the Eureka Basketball Booster Club which helps sponsor the program.   The program is run under the careful eye of Eureka boys head coach Austin Kirby, and James Alsup, Eureka girls head coach, who are the chief architects of the program.    It is a great success story and, again, a worthwhile read.  I have watched both the girls and boys Eureka high school teams for about six years and have always been impressed with the teamwork and cohesiveness of the team...

Which Missouri Boys' teams improved the most during the 2021-2022 season - 3/21/2022

Image
 One reader asked which teams had improved the most from the beginning to the end of the season.  Since it takes at least a month to establish decent ratings for each team, I took the rankings and ratings from late December and compared them to the final ratings and rankings.   I took the difference between the early and late ratings and sorted the teams by the largest improvement to the teams that got worse, ie. most erosion in rating or ranking.  I did the same for rankings of all 547 MSHSAA teams.  This difference may be an actual improvement or it could be I underestimated the team's rating early in the season.  It is all in fun. Who do you think was the most improved?    Seneca had a 29 point rating improvement from December to March, followed by Maysville, Tarkio, Hillcrest and Lone Jack.  Notable state tournament teams included Ava, Willow Springs, Blue Eye, Smithville, Pembroke Hill, Nixa, Father Tolton Catholic, Parkview and Fat...
