Missouri Class Four Boys HS Basketball ratings - Final 3/20/2020

There's only one word to describe class four Missouri Boys ratings.

Vashon

The Vashon Wolverines continued their dominance of Missouri basketball, including beating some excellent national teams in several tournaments.  The Wolves are hands-down better than any team in the state and there are some excellent class four teams.  Vashon, who lost five games, all to out-state teams, played a schedule with teams that rated 124 average and ended up with a 24-5 record.  They beat excellent CBC, Mehlville, Trinity and Ladue teams and were not challenged in the play-offs.  Raytown South, an excellent team from the KC area, had a 25-3 record but played a "softer" schedule with teams rating 117 on average.  That is still an excellent season but I believe that the state final would have been a 15 point blow-out for whomever ended up in the final against Vashon.  We can argue about it for the next 20 years.

I have scrubbed these ratings several times and listed the significant wins and losses for each team.  In a few cases, a team that might have beaten a higher rated team is rated lower because the ratings reflect the entire season and the score differential for 25+ games.   This rating is about as good as it gets.

I have listed the top 20 teams below and all 96 class four teams below this table.

Enjoy.  I will be back with class one through three early next week and the girls after that....

Losers and Winners - it's all in your perspective

The following is an excerpt from my memory book I am writing for the grandchildren.  This chapter is from my college days as a scholarship track athlete who wasn't supposed to play intramural sports. Intramural sports was a good release from the grind of intercollegiate athletics and the pressure of engineering classwork.  I was a member of Alpha Chi Sigma professional fraternity, a bunch of chemistry and chemical engineering geek, who loved sports and lived in a house that should have been torn down.  It wasn't quite Animal House, but it was close. I hope you enjoy the twist in this ending, called "Winners and Losers." Winners and Losers As a scholarship athlete, I was not supposed to play intramurals without coach’s permission, but, being the break-the-rules kind of guy, I was, I did not bother asking permission.   I decided to ask forgiveness instead.   I was a star on our touch football team and played occasionally with our basketball team as a junior.

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

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

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 UP THE SOCIAL DISTANCING FOR ANOTHER 40 D
