That Class 4 District is LOADED. Especially compared to the next door district. Good luck seeding the thing....
If it happened today...
1. AVA would be pretty close to a lock if the seeding were TODAY.
2-3 Today, I would say Hollister and Willow, one way or the other. Slight edge to Hollister, right now
4-5-6 Forsyth, Grove, Rogersville Good luck with order. Forsyth has best record Rog beat Branson and Greenwood, Grove lost to both. Forsyth is in the Grove Tourn. we could learn something there.
7. Reeds Spring Wolves have struggled but a strong couple of weeks could jump them into the mix with the group above
Girls side may not have as many top level teams but should be competitive as well...
Ava is probably the class of the group

Ava and Willow is the 2 teams to beat. Ava is prolly the 1 seed. but Willow knocking off 4 ranked teams in a week and a half is as impressive as you can get.
Hartville, Greenwood, Thayer and Gainseville

Like I said, it is loaded. Hollister is pretty dang good. They are state ranked for a reason.

Ava and Willow easily the two best teams in that district. Hollister plays a soft schedule. Would not be surprised to see Grove beat them.

I dont keep up with round ball as much but I find it very unlikely that Hollister could run thru hartvile, greenwood, thayer and gainsville
Ava and willow game should be a good one

No debating how good Willow is... but if you think they are EASILY better than Hollister, you are in for a shock. They may very well beat them.. But remember the same Aurora team that beat Willow was nearly turbo clocked by Hollister.
Willow might very well be better. They have one of the very best coaches in the business and may win if the two play head to head. Just saying it is not a foregone conclusion. I could be wrong, but i am guessing that most have not seen all seven teams play.

Ava grad still the HC for Hollister? The loss to Sparta and getting handled by Ava pretty easily is why I think that district will be decided between Ava and Willow.

That could be the finals, no doubting that. I am just saying that I have seen both teams play, and there is no Clear Cut better team between Willow and Hollister. It will be a very good matchup. Barlow is a hand full.
Yes, Pete Leonard is still at Hollister.

Didn't we hear last year how good Hollister was and they kinda fell apart in districts?

They lost in the District Championship game to AVA by 7 last year. I'm not saying they are going to be there just should not be discounted at all... As I said in the original post, it could go either way between the two, RIGHT NOW. Things could and likely will change over the next week or two.

Everyone in Bear land is taking a 1 game at a time approach, especially the team. First state ranking in a million years, team playing well, defense looks good. But we also know how "well" the Blue and Gold went, which actually may have been the best thing to happen to us. I want these kids to beat Ava and be in the driver's seat for the SCA which hasn't been won in quite some time. I am also not overlooking Grove, Liberty or anyone else because those teams aren't bad at all. But what that win may do is give us the #1 seed, and I've seen a lot of #1's not make it, us included.
I dont know anything about Forsyth or anyone else that direction, and only a tournament will tell how things play out. We have been booted out of districts by Forsyth before ...

Didn't they play horribly in the semis and barely make it to the district championship? Or maybe I am thinking of another year and team. |

They hammered Liberty. It was almost a turbo clock but not quite 26 or 27 pts if i remember right. But you are right there have been years of early exits
But back to the original point of the post, the district is loaded. Whoever gets our will have a chance to make a run

Forsyth is pretty good. They have the brothers at 6-7 and 6-9 and the Blevins brothers too. (One of them won the slam dunk contest at the TOC) I am not sure you are giving them enough credit.
Would love to see Willow Springs and Hollister play. That would be a very good game IMO. Mountain Grove is pretty good and may end up next to last in this group. You are right its tougher than most districts, for sure.
