Class 4-5 Girls Rankings
1. Kickapoo
* Don't let there record fool you, they have played the touphest schedule in the state. With a monster win over Webb City Look for that district once again to possibley provide the State with the 5A State Champion like it did last year.

2. Webb City
* With a win over Midwest City who eventually beat Nixa, Webb is young and only going to get better as the year goes on, Class 4 in SW Missouri is not as strong as it has been in the past so the Lady Cardinals have to be the favorite to make it to Columbia.

3. Nixa
* Still one of the most talented teams in SW Missouri, can't count them out when it gets to crunch time. Bethany Funderburke may be the best offensive player in the area.

4. Glendale
* Coming off of 3 losses in the KTXR the lady Falcons need to re-group and get back to that basketball which led to two wins over Ozark earlier in the year.

5. West Plains
* With a second place finish in the P&W, they may be the team that threatens Webb City, Parkview, Ozark and Branson all finished behind West Plains but also could be in this conversation.

Class 4-5 Boys
1. Branson
* Re-loaded with a new look and getting considerable contributions from Avery Dingman and Tee Helsel, the Pirates dispatched what I thought was easily the best team in the B&G in Nixa, that class 5 boys district will be a bear as well.

2. Nixa
* still think they are the deepest team, and as their young players get some experience they will be a handful down the stretch.

3. Ozark
* after another B&G championship and an early win over Fayetteville, the Tigers have some big victories this season, struggling with Spokane and Strafford is something that alot of teams will do this year.

4. Hillcrest
* at this point the Hornets have been doing it with mirrors, Losing Jr. guard Byron Williams for the last two games has caused them to struggle offensively, with his return and the addition of Trey Starks this month the Hornets should be able to make a run in the Ozark Conference.

5. Glendale
* another very young team, without a senior on the squad the Falcons will gain from some experience as the season goes on.
