I just figured this would be a good place for those of us who like to keep up with statewide playoffs to predict and discuss the entire slate of games. I will post every Class 1-3 matchup and encourage any who want to give their predictions and we will see who does the best. Also, use this thread to discuss your Final Four thoughts, out of area games, etc. The games are listed in bracket order so every set of two matchups are quarterfinal pairs.
Class 1
Risco vs SCC
Eminence vs Hurley
Fair Play vs Macks Creek
Drexel vs Pilot Grove
Glasgow vs Marion County
Meadville vs Hale
Wellington-Napoleon vs North Andrew
Stanberry vs Rockport
Class 2
Bernie vs Winona
Oran vs Elsberry
Canton vs Northeast (Cairo)
Salisbury vs Russellville
Iberia vs Dora
Crane vs Pierce City
Skyline vs Sacred Heart
West Platte vs Albany
Class 3
Charleston vs Clearwater
Madison Prep vs Maplewood-Richmond Heights
Lutheran North vs Christian
Highland vs Southern Boone
Fatima vs Hartville
Strafford vs Seneca
Butler vs Lafayette County
St. Pius X (Kansas City) vs Maryville

Sideline, great thread but I just don't know enough about most of these schools to even make an educated guess. I will only say I think it's a shame that the top 3 teams in Class 3 (Charleston, MRH, and Madison Prep) will meet so early in the playoffs and two of the three teams will be out by Saturday. That really opens things up for the teams on the bottom half of the bracket.

SCC over Eminence
Drexel over Fair Play
Glasgow over Meadville

Charleston over MP
Lutheran North over Southern Boone

Lafayette County over St. Pius

Yep, it sucks that by next week 2 of the Top 3 teams in class 3 will be done for the season.

It will be interesting to see which team wins the Fair Play-Macks Creek game in Class 1.

Thoughts on if Salisbury will go all the way in the Class 2 boys bracket?
-- Posted by Dustin Ward on Mon, Feb 25, 2013, at 8:02 PM
Macks creek beat Fair Play by 16 just over a couple weeks ago at Far Play, according to schedules. That one could go either way.

Read all scotty's stuff on another thread and just thought it would be appropriate to remind everyone:
Since Scotty likes facts so much, here are the FACTS on him and his resume
I read a lot on this site but I don't comment to much. I just can't see where Scott and them were coming from earlier saying that the talent in semo is down. To have two champs and a third place team I'll take that down year anytime.-- Posted bymz259on Sat, Mar 17, 2012, at 11:18 PM
*This is to punktail scott,HOW BOUT THEM BLUEJAYS!!!!!! Man forget eating crow,scott should be ashamed of himself talking bout theses kids from the bootheel. If I had a chance to see him in person,............ But that shows you what kind of person he is-- Posted bype-co85on Sun, Mar 18, 2012, at 5:32 PM
* scott....your verbage has changed....that one word, "thought" is quite different from your original statement of "fact" that I called you out on.I would never have called you out had you said you "thought" Hogan Prep would win, but you said it was a "fact" that Hogan Prep would win. Therefore, I have a zantac for you when that crow starts burning up your gut!!-- Posted bybirdfanon Sun, Mar 18, 2012, at 9:51 AM
*Hey Scott! Is Charleston still not the best team in the state!?-- Posted bybluejayprideon Sun, Mar 18, 2012, at 1:20 AM
* Mr Scott, parkway central band member & quiz bowl champ!!! I'm use this term, wanna hear it, here it go... Scott is a guy that likes hate & hate for the sake of hating!!! Well tell cam b & Ritter, tell mrh, & LN that we running this %#€£ for the 11th time, 2nd most in state history!!
* I have read all the (Charleston is not that good) talk all year long from you Scott. And even in defeat you will not admit Charleston is at least a good team. You my friend have lost all credibility on semoball. You can go away now.-- Posted bymule1993on Sun, Mar 18, 2012, at 5:15 PM
Read all scottys stuff on another thread. Just so everyone is reminded:
* You didn't "think", scott....you said it was "fact"....yes, you've lost credibility...you get on here with your condescending tone like no one else knows nearly as much as you about basketball or can judge talent the way you can. Why don't you find a Post Dispatch blog to play on.-- Posted bybirdfanon Mon, Mar 19, 2012, at 8:59 AM
But here he is again - The 2012-13 version. I have to give him one thing - he is consistent and when you are consistent odds are you will sometimes be right. Eventually the sun shines on every dog's tail.
Also interested if his NBA expertise has changed on Otto? He said something to the effect that he is not on that level. Can you say Lottery Pick?

Swish, I've been critical of stlscott too, but did he post on this thread? Why post that stuff here?
-- Posted by Preacher Man Fan on Wed, Feb 27, 2013, at 11:09 PM
Yeah, what does Scott have to do with this?
