Missouri Class One Boys District and State predictions - 2/20/2025

 Missouri Class One boys has some good teams this year with Green City and Chadwick leading the way.  After nearly equal ratings all season long, Green City appears to have a slight edge.

Coach Mike B has been busy cranking numbers and here are Gramps (and Coach B's) picks for district titles and a state prognostication.

The first table shows teams by district with MSHSSA seeds, our seeds, games we rated, and team ratings.  The second to last column is their overall ranking in class one. The last column is the district rating.

The second table is our prognostications on district and sectional winners and the ultimate state champ.

Good luck to all the teams.


Here are our picks for district, sectional and state title.

 It's time to say goodbye to Gramp's;  Hello to Gramp's Jr. Don't be sad....  Gramp's is living on with Gramp's Jr.    @coachmikb, or actually Coach Mike Backes, a retired Missouri government worker who coaches 7th and 8th graders for Blair Oaks.  Mike has a background in analysis and loves working an Excel spreadsheet.  In fact, most of the work this year on Gramp's Braggin' Rights Missouri Basketball Ratings was computed by Coach Mike. This old Gramp's was going to retire this year but couldn't quite give up the ghost.  I had been posting Missouri basketball boys ratings for about eight years and the girls for about five years.  With over 1300 followers, everyone looked forward to seeing their team rated in a quantifiable rating system that rated teams on head-to-head and opponent performance vs. other teams.  Mike helped Gramps solidify the ratings so that they were fully dynamic.  The teams you played could either raise or lower...
