High School March Madness Throwdown

[Freed Roger]

All right folks. Its starting up.

I'll start the trash talk Illinois HS BB playoffs > Mo HS BB playoffs (though I miss the two class IL system)

as usual -my alma mater HS girls team already advanced to supersectionals. Women from my hometown are hale and hearty.

Boys regionals in Illinois cranking it up.

Local teams in Mo start next week - watch out for Brentwood class 3 - the same group that went to finals in football finally getting their basketball shoes on.

Matt was in Tampa last I saw. Did some hurricane coverage that wound up on The Weather Channel. As the above video shows, Matt has some experience with "disasters"..

I go down to Peoria every year for the tourney, and I miss the two class system like you wouldn't believe.

I agree. Less champions, but more prestige involved with winning a regional, sectional etc and getting to state. For years, my old HS pointed to a 1970s 4th place boys Class A finish with much pride. It was clear cut -schools were either big or small. So if your team was on the smaller scale of big teams - you could either wallow in self-pity and assume the role of being a doormat -or relish the role of underdog.

did IL have a 3 class system for a few years, or did it go straight to 4?

MO is holding steady at 5 for boys basketball. You still have the numbers games where local rivals end up in different classes.

...Nevertheless, a whole lot of fun and atmosphere.
