Class three Missouri boys district basketball rankings

Class Three Missouri Boys basketball district play begins on February 16th and 19th with the title games on February 22nd.  Here's a look at each district.  Favorites are listed in bold with their power rating.

It will be Vashon facing Springfield Catholic or Father Tolton in the State Class Three championship game but the real championship will be the Trinity-Vashon Quarterfinal match-up the week before.

Here's my outlook on each district.

District 6 District 6 is the toughest district and it is too bad that the young Cardinal Ritter squad (16-7) can't be in the state semi- or finals.  Vashon (17-5) wins this one by 16.  Look for Ritter to win Districts next year.  Vashon wins their sectional game by 25 and goes on to take another state title.
