Class 1
Class 1, always with the largest number of teams of any of the classes as a result of the disregard for the 2.0 differential, has 147 boys teams and 152 girls teams. The cutoff for Class 1 appears to be 121 enrollment this spring, with Frederick Douglass High School sitting at the top.
Teams moving from Class 2 into Class 1 based on enrollment changes include the Greenfield/Dadeville co-op, Maysville, Scotland County, Galena, Gallatin, and New Haven. The Lutheran Kansas City girls will stay in Class 1 this year as their Championship Factor has expired. Valley, La Monte, Halfway (girls), and Frederick Douglass (boys) all appear to be new this year and starting out in Class 1.
District 1
District 1, much like in all of the other classes, is made up of the southeastern-most schools of Class 1, plus a couple of St. Louis City/County schools.
Featured athletes include Namarius Warren, Jaxson Houf, Camden Mayes, Kanden Bolton, Alex Kuchera, Elijah Propst, Jacob Schremp, Blake Dorris, Seth Senter, Kale Richardson, William Folk, and Kastin Cleaver.

District 4
Because Class 1 tends to snake from Northwest to Southwest, then back up to the north and so on, throughout the state, District 4 typically includes states which reside in the North-Central part of the state, while District 5 is Southwest. Districts 3 and 8 may have some of these schools depending on how the boundaries lie and the host schools work out. Novinger lies furthest east, Braymer, Tina-Avalon, and Hale lie furthest south, North Daviess lies furthest west, and the Iowa border forms the northern border.
Featured athletes include Asher Buggs-Tipton, Talan Holt, Aleczander Kelly, Griffin Hughson, Gauge MacGregor, Zackary Cross, Hunter Miller, Kaden Stone, Tyler Meinecke, Tristin Harrison, Tucker Singer, Tanner Singer, Tyler Singer, Kelsey Frederick, Abby Jones, Molly Milazzo, Madi Ostermann, Madison Carvajal, and Ava Langfitt.

Featured athletes include Kameron Clark, Cade Nold, Lane Wood, Ben Smith, Carter Hayes, Caleb Widner, Nikolaus Thieman, Jasmine Temich, Abby Barton, Gretchen House, Lily Woodward, Kaesha Walter, Melanie Rice, and Kylee Melton.

District 6
District 6 sits just above District 5 and just below District 7, with several schools in the Lake of the Ozarks region and lying between Clinton and Highway 160. Drexel forms that northern border with Fair Play sitting furthest to the south. Macks Creek and Climax Springs form the eastern border.

District 7
District 7 usually encompasses a radius in the Northwest-Central part of the state. In this projection, we have the northern border of the District formed by Northland Christian and Polo, with Midway and Chilhowee forming the southern border. District 7 spans to Sacred Heart and Northwest Hughesville in the east. This is an interesting part of the state where only a few miles can put a school in Sectional 1 or Sectional 4.
Featured athletes include Wyatt Brosch, Kayden Gabbard, Camden Uptegrove, Lane Hass, Jackson Manning, Jonathon Harris, Weston Crawford, Garret Hoyes, Dominick Johnson, Maverick Gentry, Gage Gilbert, Annabelle Ball, Addison Grossenbacher, Ashley Feiden, Isabelle Wood, Dakota Reynolds, Hanna Vaught, and Kameron Dankenbring.
