Will go ahead and post projections ahead of actual standings. (MSHSAA has yet to update the standings to show this weeks losses for Monett and East Newton)
Some changes this week without a doubt. These are my projections for what things will look like heading into the playoffs…The way I see things, with what has happened and what is scheduled ahead. These will very sometimes greatly from the current standings…..
Class 3
- Reeds Spring- I told you that Seneca would have to be the Wolves friend and this week they were. Wolves will have to run the table to make this happen and could finish anywhere from 1-4 at this point but for the time being I will move them to the top spot,
- Seneca- Indians got a huge win this week. No doubt they are for real. They could very well still get the top seed. Lamar still awaits them, as does Cassville. They are also at a bonus point (for playing up) disadvantage to Reeds Spring.
- Cassville- Was really surprised they fell to McDonald County. They play an undefeated St James team this week.
- Mount Vernon – The MtNeers will not drop any further than this and could very well climb back up the list
- Monett- The Cubs losing to Lamar did nothing to drop them. The only reason they fall a spot is because Seneca forced its way up.
- Hollister- Tigers stay here after losing their second in a row. You knew Bolivar would eventually get well, Hollister just happened to be the victim.
- Aurora- The Dawgs start with such a tough schedule its kind of hard to size them up. I do think they and Hollister do finish with the 6-7 seeds, its just which is which.
- East Newton- The way I see things right now, this one is about the only one I am totally confident about.
Class 5
- Glendale- The Falcons and Yellow Jackets get the advantage of playing two Class 6 teams. Those bonus points could make it hard for Branson to pull ahead
- Lebanon- Bonus points help them as well and the fact they lost head to head to Glendale would move them here even if they finish ahead of Glendale.
- Branson- Pirates with a HUGE win at Ozark this week. That should really help them finish here.
- Ozark- Unless Ozark fan finish ahead of one of those top two they will drop to this spot… At this point that looks likely
- Waynesville- again they find ways to stay in games but are having trouble finishing..
- Central- Like the Class 3 District.. this is the easiest call.
