State 2025 is almost here... Are you ready?!

**Feb. 3rd update: Team registrations for STATE 2025 are far exceeding expectations. So much so that this event will likely be SOLD OUT prior to the February 20th (Girls) and March 6th (Boys) signup deadlines. We’re on track for as many as 100 Girls teams competing in Columbia, which is proof that young ladies in Missouri take their roundball seriously! On the Boys side, we’re expecting up to 150 teams and there’s a ton of excitement building about the MSHSAA Classes 4, 5, and 6 state tournament being hosted at Mizzou Arena on the same weekend.

 

If your squad has qualified for STATE 2025 but not yet registered, please do so before we turn off registration. If your team has not yet qualified but interested in playing at STATE 2025, then make your case by applying for an At-Large bid here: https://www.statebasketballchampionship.com/mo-at-large-application

Greetings!

 

The 4th Annual Missouri Middle School Basketball Championship is almost here!
