Missouri High School Team Rankings: Week 4
April 10, 2023
Our rankings are broken up into two divisions: large school and small schools. We classify the 'large' schools as those residing in Class 5 & 6, while the small schools make up the remaining MSHSAA classifications. We rank what we believe to be the top-10 teams in the state at that level, as well as highlighting several 'On Deck' teams.

We've updated our individual 'Large School' and 'Small School' rankings with another week of games played across the state. There is a bit of movement in this update, especially on the 'Large School' list:
+ Fort Zumwalt West and Nixa each climb up our board. The Jaguars rise one spot, with the Eagles jumping up two, after both schools had productive weeks under their belts.
+ Both Vianney and Glendale debut inside the top-10 for the first time this season. Vianney's lost only one game this year, to No. 3 Francis Howell, and they took down Jackson in an extra-innings thriller at home. Glendale has an impressive resume under their belt, with wins over Kickapoo, Liberty North, Liberty, Hickman, and Webb City this spring.
+ There's some shuffling in the 'Small School' board, with Southern Boone and Father Tolton Catholic each rising one spot, now sitting at No. 3 and No. 4, respectively. St. Francis Borgia rises to fifth, the St. Louis Patriots climb to eighth, and Valle Catholic jumps up one spot to ninth.
