More tournaments schedules are up, along with the Top 25

It's probably little surprise that Scott County Central is No. 1 among more than 80 high school boys basketball teams in Southeast Missouri. The Braves lead the list in our annual preseason Top 25 poll, which is determined with input from coaches and others across the region.

The Braves finished strong last season with the program's first trip to the state final four in more than a decade; they finished third with a defeat of Fair Play.

The complete poll is in our high school area of the site. Click here for the whole 25-team list.

Also added to the site this week are schedules for several basketball events next week, including tournaments at Potosi, Farmington, Crystal City, Valley and more. We'll add tournament schedules in our forum as they come in, so click here to see the list so far.

And more from the high school scene: Individual team pages are updated to include the latest records from boys basketball and football teams, and more sports will be added in the coming weeks.

A final note: The voting for Southeast Missouri's football MVP includes almost 10,000 votes so far with Brandon Bourbon of Potosi and Michael Greminger of Valle still in a close race. The voting will close at the end of the day Friday (which is the day the season formally ends for Southeast Missouri teams), and we'll post the final totals on the site Saturday.
