Missouri Class Two Boys Basketball ratings - week of January 4th, 2021

 Missouri boys class two is very competitive across the state.  Lakeland has a slight advantage but it looks like any of half a dozen teams could be crowned State Champions if the season makes it that far.

I am teaming up with www.810Varsity.com on a top 20 post every week.  Girls will be bi-weekly.  Chad Rader has a great website over in Kansas City with some great in-depth stuff on Kansas and Missouri basketball.  You should check it out.

Enjoy the ratings and if you have any comments, please give me specific game results that you think are pertinent.  I can only make the ratings better with good feedback.  The difference in rating is the predicted spread for two teams playing each other.

I posted class six through three boys already.  Class one ratings are coming up next:

Missouri Boys class one high school basketball ratings 12/22/2020

 Class one clearly belongs to the vaunted South Iron squad.  The only thing keeping the Panthers from winning a state championship trophy this year would be the pandemic, which could, unfortunately, end the season at any time. Last year, Dora "upset" the Panthers in the sectional game.  I honestly believe that South Iron would beat Dora this year, except that Dora was moved to class two and Coach Luna and his four sons are now in Viola Arkansas and Isaac Haney transferred to Kickapoo.  South Iron's coach Dinkins has taken on an aggressive schedule with Vashon, CBC, Cardinal Ritter, Helias, and several other top-rated schools in class five and six.  Hats off to the Panthers for taking on the big dogs. In class two, Dora will be lucky to win ten games.  I don't know the specifics on Rick Luna's firing last spring but the school board's kids are getting a lot of playing time this season with the Luna family in Arkansas and Haney gone to Kickapoo.  Viola, under co

Back2back Final Missouri Boys Class Five Basketball Ratings - March 22, 2021

While it is clear, the Lions are the #1 team in class five, what is not clear is who should be the next five or six.  With no disrespect to the MSHSAA playoff system or final four, I find that the tea

Predictions and more Predictions - March 13th, 2021

Corrected March 14th I had the Pembroke Hill -Richmond score reversed.  Thanks to the observant reader for pointing that out to me.  I think I took the score off a Tweet that had it reversed.  It was a good night for Gramps last night.  While I have talked about my prediction percentage going down as the tournament progresses, I was on a roll last night with 18 of 20 right, or 90%!  Both of my misses were in class five boys where Lutheran South continued their hot post-season playoff run and Bolivar "upset" Nevada.  I really did not expect Lutheran South to get by a very strong North County team, but the former LHBA super subs, Jonathan Prange and Jack Lawson, and Company built a strong third-quarter lead and held on against a hard-charging North County squad. Here's where I am at on boys and girls predictions... I didn't do as well on the girl's side, but I will address that tomorrow after today's round of girl's games. I am actually astounded that the mo
