Staley vs. Rock Bridge
This looks to be the most competitive Class 6 game we’re set to have in Missouri on Friday. These teams have a number of key contributors that are young and/or underclassmen. It’s going to be a fun game. It’s also a preview of two teams who will remain near the top of the state for years to come. Jayda Porter Jayda Porter 6'4" | C Rock Bridge | 2026 State MO is one of the top attractions as far as prospects go. Ava Miles Ava Miles 6'0" | SG Staley | 2026 State MO has been playing great for Staley. College coaches will want to put eyes on this stream if they can’t view in person.
Cor Jesu vs. Marquette
Another Class 6 game, these are two teams who have exceeded expectations and are playing very well at the right time. Lauren Ortwetth is a great player for Cor Jesu. The young forward does so many things for this team. For Marquette they have a great forward of their own in Sydney Bode Sydney Bode 6'3" | PF Marquette | 2025 State MO . This will be a battle of the bigs. Marquette also has some sharpshooting guards to play around her when the ball is in the post.
John Burroughs vs. Hillsboro
John Burroughs has long been a favorite in Class 5 and this will be a tough final game before they can potentially make it to state. The Bombers are battle tested and have played a strong strength of schedule. For Hillsboro it’s all about the two Hilton’s. They combine for over half their scoring on a game to game basis. If Burroughs is able to keep those two in check that’ll be a recipe for success. On the other hand, if they have career games it could be an upset.
Lift for Life vs. Moberly
Two teams that have been near the top of Class 4 all season long. Lift for Life is ahead of schedule and has an exciting young team. They compete at a high level and play fast. Their trio of guards do a lot of the scoring. As for Moberly it’s all about Asa Fanning Asa Fanning 6'0" | PF Moberly | 2024 State MO and Grace Billington Grace Billington 5'10" | SG Moberly | 2024 State MO . These two have been a great guard/forward duo for many years. They’re one game away from making state in 2024. A special game with many storylines. The game will be played at Lift for Life.
