Holcomb 18-7-1
Vs. Bye
Hayti 4-11-1
Vs. South Pemiscot 4-14
Southland 15-7-2
Vs. Delta 0-8
Cooter 5-11
Vs. North Pemiscot 4-11
Projection: This district will come down to Holcomb and Southland. Holcomb has beaten everyone in the district and should do so behind the play of Libby Callis Libby Callis 5'8" | OH Holcomb | 2023 State MO and Maleigh Lemings Maleigh Lemings 5'8" | OH Holcomb | 2024 State MO , as they have a combined 354 kills on the season.
District 2
Gideon 19-7
Vs. Bye
Risco 16-10-1
Vs. Campbell 12-11-2
Clarkton 23-5
Vs. Richland 0-16
Bernie 14-12-3
Vs. Bloomfield 7-17
Projection: Clarkton has won 19 of the last 20 games and has a 2-3 loss to Gideon at the beginning of the season. Gideon lost to Winona in 2, and Clarkton lost to Winona in 3. Montana Person and Bree Winchester Bree Winchester 5'10" | MB Clarkton | 2024 State MO have redemption on their minds. I will go with Clarkton in 5 to knock off last year’s Class 1 runner-up.
District 3
Bell City 22-2-1
Vs. Bye
Leopold 7-12-1
Vs. Oran 4-20-1
Advance 16-7
Vs. Marquand 1-9
Puxico 13-9-1
Vs. Zalma 2-11
Projection: This will come down to a rematch of Bell City and Advance for the title. I’m going to take Advance in 5 with late-season improvements, including wins over South Iron and Lesterville. Advance has won districts for so long that I’m not sure they know how to lose in districts. Bell City is an unknown team at this point, with no stats posted anywhere, but it beat Advance 18-25, 25-22, 25-19, and 25-20. Alexis Hoffmann goes off in the middle for the Hornets.
District 4
Meadow Heights 21-8
Vs. Bye
Oak Ridge 13-10
Vs. Crossroads 20-2-2
Crystal City 13-5-1
Vs. Principia 7-11-1
St. Vincent 7-15-1
Vs. St. Paul Lutheran 8-14-3
Projections: Another district with many unknowns, but the one I do know is that Meadow Heights should win this district, having beaten the other seeds. Halli Bollinger-Yount Halli Bollinger-Yount 5'10" | OH Meadow Heights | 2023 State MO leads the Panthers in kills with 259.
