St. Louis Area Boys Basketball ratings Jan. 7, 2020

As long as I am comparing boys basketball rankings, I might as well put up my latest St. Louis area rankings.  There have been a number of shifts with Vashon dropping by 10 rating points due to a  recent loss to a good Memphis Lausanne team.  Hazelwood West, who I thought would take off this month, lost to a decent Parkway North team last night.  Their stock could continue to drop with a loss at Ladue tonight.  St. Louis Christian Academy has made a strong move up the ranks with their holiday tournament success.  Lot's of action in January so stay tuned.

I had 3 of the 4 picks right from last week.  Here goes some choices for tonight's games....

Tuesday picks:
Francis Howell Central (113) at Warrenton (102)   - Howell Central by 11
Holt (112) at Francis Howell (133)  - Howell by 21
Hazelwood West (115) at Ladue (120)  - Ladue by 5
Lindbergh (104) at Vianney (110)  - Vianney by 6
Parkway West (107) at Lafayette (115) - Lafayette by 8
De Smet (134) at Whitfield (108)  - De Smet by 26
Soldan (113) at Miller Career (108) - Soldan by 5

Section predictions Missouri class one and two boys and girls basketball

The esteemed Earl Austin, Jr. has published some in-depth analysis of opening sectional games that start tonight over on Prep Hoops Missouri.  You have to have a subscription but you really should as Earl and his colleagues always have the inside dope on boys high school basketball.  I think they are launching a girls version this coming year.  At least, I hope so.  You can read his predictions at: https://www.prephoops.com/2020/03/preview-class-1-sectionals-predictions/ Prep Hoops Missouri Class two predictions are listed at: https://www.prephoops.com/2020/03/preview-class-2-sectionals-predictions/ Prep Hoops Missouri Class Two Earl really digs deep for information on the players and what they are doing.  I just model scores in an algorithm that provides me with a power rating.  It's the only ranking in the state for all 600+ boys and 535+ girls teams.  Earl gives you more of the scoop. What Earl doesn't have is the girls predictions so I wi...

Basketball and Coronavirus - What's next? What can you do?

Image
It's hard getting up in the morning.  Some days I don't remember what day of the week it is.  My grandkids are struggling.  They are stressed.  They can't do the things that they want to do.   I finally bought myself a golf driving net and set it up against the house in the backyard and I hit a couple hundred golf balls a day and work on form.  My wife and I are walking the neighborhood, sorting old digital photos, fixing stuff and knocking out Honey-Do Lists that I have avoided for years. I told my grandson, who was looking forward to the AAU 17U season that he might be lucky to play in July and August.  Very Lucky.  Schools are closed for the rest of the spring.  I feel real badly for all of those spring sports teams.  I feel bad about the Spring AAU schedule disappearing.  I doubt that there will be a June HS practice and game schedule.  I doubt everything our "President" says about opening up the country.  IF WE KEEP...

Musing over small town basketball - Where in the heck is Dora, Missouri? Or Mountain Lake, Minnesota?

Last year, I posted a blog about "Where in the heck is Zalma, Missouri?" and talked about how much I was learning about Missouri geography by rating all 530+ Missouri State High School Athletic Association boys basketball teams.  I would often pull up Google Maps to locate a small town school and found out that Zalma was in SE Missouri. For those that have not heard of Dora MO boys basketball, you were probably thinking I was talking about Dora the Explorer and not a premier class 1 basketball team that recently beat a top Oklahoma City's Heritage Hall class 4 team by 5.  They have one of the top shooters in the country, Isaac Haney, a 6'1" 2021 shooting guard who can put up 30 points faster than you can get popcorn at the concession stand.  They also have triplets, Austen, Mason and Bryson Luna, who make up an awesome, albeit small, cadre of superstars in a tiny town R-3 high school that has a one sentence Wikipedia description.  But don't take these guys ...
