Missouri State Finals: Small Schools To Decide Champions On Saturday

Stay connected with SB Nation

Missouri's state championships resume Saturday in Columbia with finals in the state's small schools classes.

In Class 3, Hogan Prep (22-8) seeks redemption after a 24-point loss in the 2010 final when the Rams play Strafford (27-3) in the final.

It will be a game between teams that have survived close calls. Hogan Prep beat Charleston 86-79 in overtime in Thursday's semifinals. Strafford won an overtime playoff game in the quarterfinals.

In Class 2, there will be a surprise champion. Crane (25-5) entered the state playoffs unranked, and No. 4 Bernie - which would be only a mild surprise - upset No. 1 Wellington-Napoleon in the semifinals. Crane, located southwest of Springfield, has won 18 straight games.

In Class 1, Scott County (28-2) plays Dadeville (30-1) in a rematch of the 2010 semifinals, which Scott County won. Scott County's Otto Parker scored 34 points in the semifinals and has set a state record for points in the post-season.
