Missouri Boys HS Basketball ratings - Top 20 by class 3/15/2020

Here are my top 20 Missouri Boys HS basketball ratings.  I will post a final ratings for all classes and teams after the class four and five state championships, assuming they still conduct them next week.

It was no surprise to see Dora, Hartville and Cardinal Ritter win their respective classes.  Hats off to all three of you.  I didn't put a lot of weight on Ritter's unbelievable win over Charleston by 56 points.  If I did, they would have a 186 rating.  LOL.  I do believe they might give Vashon a run for their money right now.

Vashon looks like a lock for class four and I give CBC a slight nod over the field in class five.  It could be an all Metro Catholic final with CBC and Chaminade.

If you have a comment, be nice about it.  I don't mind the Dora players needling me on picking South Iron by a point in their epic game, but the cruel and ugly comments I sometimes get are inappropriate given the stresses we face with the economy, coronavirus and the lack of any real leadership in our country.  We should be watching each others backs.  Peace.

Be safe and healthy.

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...

Missouri Boys High School Basketball Rankings by Class 1/3/2020

I am not entirely through the holiday tournament results but I kept up enough with the top teams to post another Missouri boys basketball rankings by class for the top 40-60 teams. In class 1, some people would think I am crazy (Paul Simon song?) to put Dora second behind South Iron but the comparative scores tell me that Wakefield and company at South Iron can beat Haney, the Lunas and Dora.  It's too bad this won't be the championship game for class 1. In class 2, Animu Mohammed made me a believer in Greenwood (what took you so long, Gramps?) when he scored 49 points (all of Greenwood's 2nd half points) in a 10 point win over Kickapoo.  Hartville is good but I don't think anyone will figure out how to stop Mohammed. In class 3, Trinity had a great MICDS tournament but I still rate Charleston a 5 point favorite over Trinity.  Cardinal Ritter and Father Tolton are still in the mix with Christian O'Fallon not too far behind. In class 4, Vashon is still hands ...
