Eskridge defeats New Haven 56-23 in the boy championship for Class 2 District 5. Eskridge is a dangerous team. I wouldn't be surprised if the team that advance to the final four in Class 2 from Southeast Missouri faces Eskridge. But I don't know what Laquey has this year. But Eskridge concerns me just a bit.

Wellston-Eskridge has a great player Ben McLemore. Ben is considered to be in the same talent as Bradley Beal.(who committed to Florida) In one game, Ben scored 50, 7 assits, 9 rebounds. Wellston plays a very, very tough schedule. Borgia among others. They are my pick to win it all. If you haven't seen Ben McLemore, your missing seen a great player as well as a great kid.....

Is Eskridge ranked in Class 2? I haven't heard much about them this year.

Is it true this will be the last year Eskridge has a school?

Yes, Wellston will be closing after this year and consolidating with Normandy. I have heard speculation that McLemore could opt for a prep school, although I haven't heard for sure.

Wellston is unranked. They played at Scott City on February 20 and won by 16.

The last two years Bernie has been in contention. Both years I have heard talk we won't beat Wellston if we get to them. But someone always beat Wellston before they got to the final four. I don't know what to expect from Wellston. But I was surprised they beat New Haven 56-23.
