The points point to a local school as basketball's best

You already knew Scott County Central's basketball program was good, but now there are point standings to back it up.

Using a format patterned after our annual SEMO All-Sports Award, the folks over at OzarksSports.net have applied that formula to list the 25 best boys and girls basketball teams in Missouri since playoffs began.

The results: Scott County Central is No. 1 in the girls list, and the school is No. 2 on the state boys list.

The girls top five: Scott County Central, St. Joseph's Academy, Visitation Academy, Northeast Nodaway and Marshfield.

The boys top five: Vashon, Scott County Central, Charleston, DeSmet and SLUH.
