After the Tournament title at Jackson, the Red Knights are on a roll having won the last 9. Monster middle Tara Greenberry Tara Greenberry 6'3" | MB Incarnate Word | 2025 State #117 Nation MO is getting close to 100 blocks on the season.
2. St. Michael the Archangel Guardians 20-5
The Guardians owe a win over both St. Pius X schools from Festus and Kansas City. Four of the defeats came at the Rockwood Tournament. From what I’ve seen they are the second-best team in Class 4 behind the hitting duo of Makalah Davis and Lily Vanbebber Lily Vanbebber 5'9" | OH St. Michael the Archangel | 2024 State MO .
3. St. Pius X (Festus) Lancers 18-5
The Lancers have lost to Lafayette, St. Michael, Mater Dei, IL, Eureka, and Incarnate Word. They gave Incarnate Word a good battle as 2027 Kate Sherry Kate Sherry 5'11" | OH St. Pius X Festus | 2027 MO topped the team with eight kills in the loss.
4. St. Pius X (Kansas City) Warriors 20-6
17-2 in the last 19 matches has the Warriors jumping the ranks. Avery Ashby Avery Ashby 5'10" | OH St. Pius X | 2024 State MO is the school’s career kill leader and the team will have to get by Platte County in districts to reach the state playoffs.
5. Windsor Owls 27-4-1
Winner of 13 straight and the title at the Perryville Tournament the Owls make a jump in the rankings. Sydney Green Sydney Green 5'10" | OH Parkway Central | 2024 State MO is having a big season on the outside for the Owls with a team-high 315 kills.
6. Carl Junction Bulldogs 24-7-2
With the win over Webb City, the Bulldogs get the move up in the rankings. They also have a split and tie with Marshfield and a tie with Helias. Kylie Scott Kylie Scott 6'1" | MB Carl Junction | 2024 State MO and Karissa Chase Karissa Chase 6'0" | RS Carl Junction | 2025 State MO have been on fire both with over 300+ kills.
7. Webb City Cardinals 23-6
Webb City handed Class 2 #1 Fair Grove its only defeat but also has lost to Carl Junction to get bumped down. 2026 Jaeli Rutledge Jaeli Rutledge 6'1" | MB Webb City | 2026 State MO leads the team in kills and blocks with 259 and 47 respectively.
8. Platte County Pirates 18-7-2
With seven losses on the season, the Pirates might appear not as a top team. Kendall Johnson Kendall Johnson 5'10" | MB Platte County | 2024 State MO is putting down 252 kills on the year. They’ve lost to both St. Michael and St. Pius X but no one else in Class 4. They’ll be a tough team to beat.
9. Summit Falcons 18-11-1
Summit has the tools to win a district title and already owns a 3-2 win over Parkway West. If Lainey Waser Lainey Waser 6'2" | MB Rockwood Summit | 2025 State MO is on Summit could take the district title.
10. Parkway West Longhorns 17-9-2
The Longhorns are a streaking playing team. Against Summit they looked unbeatable in sets 2 and 3 but the passing broke down in 4 and 5 and they took the loss. Believe me, if Katherine Byergo Katherine Byergo 6'5" | MB Parkway West | 2026 State MO can keep things going in the middle the Longhorns could see themselves back in the state playoffs.
