Pre-Season Missouri Boys high school basketball ratings - by class 11/15/2020

  The past three years, I have been calculating Missouri Boys high school basketball ratings using a Sagarin-like rating system where I compare head-to-head and comparative scores to calculate a power rating for each school.

This past year, I took a look at the Missouri Girls high school scene for the very first time.  I don't have the same historical ratings for girls that I have for boys, so I am going to report last March's final ratings as the pre-season ratings.  As the season progresses (cross your fingers), I will update both the boys and girls ratings on this blog.

I am posting boys and girls ratings by class and also overall.  All 500+ girls and 600+ boys teams are rated.  You won't find this anywhere else.  It is a work in progress but I think it beats the coaches and sports page polls that are not statistically based.  The difference between any two teams rating is the predicted spread.

 I have taken a look at St. Louis area teams and their returnees.  I have factored that in to their ratings.  I have not done the same analysis for KC or Springfield teams but rather, have looked at the past two years ratings.  The ratings will improve as the season progresses.

One caveat for the rankings is that MSHSAA has not issued Class and District assignments.  The other caveat is the elephant in the room.... Covid-19, which could scuttle the entire season.  MASK up folks and let's play some basketball.
