Week 10: The Last Rung of the Ladder

Class 3 Districts 2-4

Class 3 District 2 - Linn


Top 5 Boys

1. Scott Bonastia - Borgia

2. Will Green - Pacific

3. Mason Parker - St. James

4. Grant Straatmann - Borgia

5. Jacob Giedenghagen - Owensville 

Top 2 Teams (State Qualifiers)

1. Borgia (projected points: 38)

2. Owensville (projected points: 68)

Top 5 Girls

1. Sophie Ashner - Owensville 

2. Riley Schelp - Lutheran South

3. Macy Schelp - Lutheran South

4. Alesha Shockley - Owensville

5. Paige Heckelmann - Owensville 

Sophie Ashner has been enjoying a great sophomore campaign, but Lutheran South senior Riley Schelp is making her way back to where she was in the past. We see Schelp as a very close second in this one, but it is anyone's game in District 2 individually. 

Top 2 Teams (State Qualifers)

1. Owensville (projected points: 35)

2. Lutheran South (projected points: 82)


Class 3 District 3 - Lutheran North

Top 5 Boys

1. Anthony Lloyd - Westminster

2. Alex Szabo - Clayton

3. Will Leonard - Westminster

4. Matthias Jowdy - Wesminster

5. Mason Hall - MICDS

Top 2 Teams (State Qualifiers)

1. Westminster (projected points: 20)

2. Clayton (projected points: 67)

Westminster is the runaway favorites in District 3 and will be looking at a potential podium visit if they can keep the good times rolling. 

Top 5 Girls

1. Kylie Goldfarb - John Burroughs

2. Arianna Latuda - John Burroughs

3. Ava Hollmann - Westminster

4. Grace Gore - John Burroughs 

5. Isabella Francois - Westminster

Top 2 Teams (State Qualifers)

1. Westminster (projected points: 37)

2. John Burroughs (projected points: 64)

MICDS and John Burroughs will be battling it out for the final qualifying spot here, but we are giving JBS the slight edge based on their front 3. Numbers 4 and 5 hurt pretty bad, but we think the Bombers will edge it out on the backs of a win from Goldfarb and a major breakthrough from Latuda. 

Class 3 District 4 - Warrenton

Top 5 Boys

1. Carson Sanders - Orchard Farm

2. Andrew Chaffin - St. Charles West

3. Ben Sommer - Warrenton

4. Dillon Ruble - St. Charles

5. Adreion Keys - McCluer South Berkeley

After missing the entire first half of the season with an injury, Carson Sanders is back and does not appear in any danger of losing on Saturday. 

Top 2 Teams (State Qualifiers)

1. Lutheran St. Peters (projected points: 60)

2. Warrenton (projected points: 62)

Warrenton is currently projected 5 points behind St. Charles, but we believe the Warriors have an ace up their sleeve in Nathan Nordwald. It will be very close for that final qualifying spot, no doubt. Any of those three teams could win, honestly. 


Top 5 Girls

1. Mercedes Schroer - Christian

2. Natalia Sisomphane - St. Charles

3. Meredith Leigh - Lutheran St. Peters

4. Brooke Fredrickson - Incarnate Word

5. Camryn Green - St. Charles

No surprise here as Mercedes Schroer looks poised for a top 3 finish in Class 3 overall this year. 

Top 2 Teams (State Qualifers)

1. St. Charles (projected points: 40)

2. Incranate Word (projected points: 60)
