2025-12-14
145 STL area games this week, 93 of them STL vs STL. Seven games were decided by a single point.
Vashon Stays on Top
Vashon (5-0) holds #1 with a dominant .8425 RPI. The Wolverines' strength of schedule is the best in the area.
De Smet Jesuit (3-0) rises to #2 — the Spartans are unbeaten and their opponents' winning percentage is elite.
Webster Groves (4-0) climbs to #5 after a strong week.
Seven One-Point Games
- Daniel 61, Frontier School of Excellence Charter 60
- Holt 62, Ft. Zumwalt West 61
- Brentwood 54, Collegiate 53

- Lindbergh 55, Kirkwood 54
- Winfield 42, St. Charles 41
- North County 61, Northwest (Cedar Hill) 60
Lindbergh (5-0) surviving Kirkwood by one is the kind of win that boosts an RPI — Kirkwood is a quality opponent.

St. Mary's South Side 96, Jennings 79 — St. Mary's put up 96 and still had a one-point game earlier in the week against Lift for Life. This team plays fast.

The rankings are starting to take shape. Vianney is 6-0 but sits just outside the top 10 — the RPI says their schedule hasn't been as tough as the teams above them. That will change as conference play heats up.
