Missouri Class Three Girls District Matchups and Sectional/State Prognostications 2/24/2025

 

I don't know if I have ever seen so many really good and highly rated class three girls teams as this year's crop.  While Principia and Fair Grove stand slightly above the rest and have done well vs. upper class opponents, Thayer, South Shelby, Centralia, Fatima and El Dorado Springs are all great teams.

Look for an exciting state tournament.  Here are Coach Mike Backes ratings and Gramps prognostications.  Gramps is taking Grama on a cruise for ten days so Coach Mike B might have to fill you in on class four through six girls or boys until we get back.

Good luck to all teams.

02/15/2025 Here are updated Gramps/Coach Mike Backes Braggin' Rights Missouri boys basketball ratings with all classes combined.  Coach Mike has been a huge help to Gramps in getting these ratings together and I am happy to say that Coach Mike will most likely continue the ratings going forward next year. I would suggest that you follow Coach Mike at @coachmikb on X so that you don't miss out on his posts next year.  It has been about eight years since Gramps started this rating system and it has been a lot of fun and very satisfying to be able to fairly and statistically rate every boys and girls team in the state with about 85% accuracy on district-to-state tournament performance. I have included both the all-class ratings and alphabetical listing below that. These ratings do not include Friday night's games: Here's the alphabetical ratings: 01/15/2025  It has been a struggle to get started on Gramp's BB ratings, but Mike Backes, over at Blair Oaks, has been a big...

 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...
