Lindbergh vs. Ladue (February 6th)
This is the best game of the night on Tuesday. Lindbergh is a Top 10 team in the biggest classification and Ladue is 18-1 on the season. Two tremendous programs with senior heavy rosters. Lindbergh runs a slower, effective offense while Ladue is looking to run and use athleticism to their advantage. An excellent contrast of styles between the two teams. Look for players such as Quinn Sunderland Quinn Sunderland 6'10" | PF Lindbergh | 2024 State MO and Dwayne Foley to be difference makers.
Fatima vs. Eugene (February 6th)
Both teams are 19-3 at this point in the season and have hopes of winning it all in March. Some may argue that Fatima is more battle tested to this point, however, that doesn’t take away from the fact that Eugene is one of the very best in the area. This is a late 7:45pm tip-off and will be exciting for the local crowd. These are two programs who play a great brand of basketball and place heavy emphasis on ball movement.
Chaminade vs. Cardinal Ritter (February 7th)
This is a big game between two Class 6 contenders in the St. Louis area. Ritter will travel to Chaminade in what’s expected to be a packed out gym. These teams have high expectations and have gone through some ups and downs that developed character. Clayton Jackson Clayton Jackson 6'2" | PG Cardinal Ritter | 2024 State MO is playing at a very high level for the Lions. Chaminade’s guards have been doing the same. Look for Ritter’s pace and Chaminade’s frontcourt to be two factors that can determine the outcome.
Battle vs. Helias (February 9th)
These are two teams who have surpassed expectations this season. Battle has always been talented but not many expected them to be ranked 2nd in Class 6 at this point in the season. Helias is a traditionally strong program going through a youth movement and seeing success in the process. Tate McCubbin Tate McCubbin 6'7" | SF Battle | 2024 State MO and Vernell Holt do a lot of damage for Battle while Logan Hillman Logan Hillman 6'3" | SG Helias | 2026 State MO is a key scorer for Helias. This should be a great game.
Father Tolton vs. Oak Park (February 9th)
Quite possibly the game of the week, Oak Park will travel to Totlon and finish out what was a gauntlet of a week since last Friday. The Northmen are testing themselves vs. all the top teams in Missouri. This game is the battle of the backcourts. Aaron Rowe Aaron Rowe 6'2" | PG Father Tolton | 2025 State #17 Nation MO /Zay Wilson vs. Corbin Allen Corbin Allen 6'5" | SG Oak Park | 2025 State #169 Nation MO / Caleb Estes Caleb Estes 6'2" | SG Oak Park | 2025 State MO . These four 2025 prospects make up a large portion of the top ranked players in the state. Expect the Tolton gym to be flooded with fans from Kansas City.
