HS GAMETIME POWER RANKINGS-GIRLS BASKETBALL

1. BELLEVILLE EAST

 The Lancers are lead by Britney Adams and are one of the favorites to win a state title.

2. EDWARDSVILLE

 Anya Covington returns for the Tigers this season.   They look to improve upon their quarterfinal appearance last season.

3. HAZELWOOD EAST

 Last year the Spartans came up short in the title game.   Channon Haywood looks to change that this winter.

4. INCARNATE WORD

 The Red Knights lost a lot of talent from last year's team but they always seem to reload.

5. BREESE CENTRAL

 Last year's state champions will still be good even through some senior losses.

6. NERINX HALL

 The Markers shocked Missouri when they beat Incarnate Word in the playoffs.  Won't be sneaking around this year.

7. ST. DOMINIC

 Last year the Crusaders went 27-3.   They return Sarah Schnieders who will try to lead them past their 4th place finish of last season.

8. EAST ST. LOUIS

 It always seems the Flyers have talent and are there in the end.   Last year they were 21-6.

9. ALTHOFF

 Alisha Goodwin returns to a team that finished 20-9 last season.

10. CIVIC MEMORIAL

 Katie Broadway shot lights out last year with 23 points a game.  Look for more of the same this year.
