Lutheran South – 3rd
Westminster – 1st
Washington – 4th
Parkway West – 2nd
This is a pretty balanced pool with all four teams having multiple losses on the season.

Parkway West is off to a slow start but will find its footing thanks to Erica Conger Erica Conger 5'10" | OH Parkway West | 2025 State MO and Katherine Byergo Katherine Byergo 6'5" | MB Parkway West | 2026 State MO and finish 2nd in the Gold Pool.
Blue Pool
Ste. Genevieve – 4th
Borgia – 2nd
Union – 3rd
Timberland – 1st
Timberland is the top team in this pool and should coast to 1st. With Kayla Robertson, Abby Chall Abby Chall 6'0" | MB Timberland | 2025 State MO , and Kennedy Draggs Kennedy Draggs 6'0" | MB Holt | 2025 State MO on the attack are more than the opponents can handle. Plus, Timberland has one of the best 2025 setters in Abigail Schoene Abigail Schoene 5'11" | S Timberland | 2026 State MO gives the Wolves the advantage to win this year’s event. Borgia started the year off rough with a trashing from Cor Jesu but since have won the last three. 2027 Gabby Schwoeppe is leading the Knights in kills and assists, while Sophia Hurst Sophia Hurst 5'11" | MB St. Francis Borgia | 2025 State MO and Joanna Gillen Joanna Gillen 5'11" | MB Borgia | 2026 State MO are patrolling the middle. Borgia should have enough in the tank to finish 2nd in the pool.
