The 2023 MSHSAA State Championship is being held on May 5-6, 2023. Classes 1-3 competed on Friday and Classes 4-6 play on Saturday.

Questions and Format

Questions for Districts and State were once again provided by NAQT in the 22 tossup-bonus format. All questions are worth 10 points each with no powers or negs.

To produce the question sets for conferences and the state series, IS-212A, IS-214A, and IS-219 were unavailable for use during the regular season in Missouri.

Districts

Eight district tournaments in each of the six classes were held on April 15. District championship game matchups are available on the MSHSAA website.

Quarterfinals

Quarterfinal matches on April 25 consisted of best two-of-three matchups between the winners of two adjacent districts. The winner of each quarterfinal advanced to the remaining rounds of the state championship.

Class 1

Class 2

Class 3

Class 4

Class 5

Class 6

State Finals

The Class 1-3 state finals on May 5 and the Class 4-6 state finals on May 6 were held at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The state finals consisted of a preliminary round robin, with the top two teams advancing to the championship game and the bottom two teams advancing to the consolation game.

Class 1

Round 1
Mound City 170, Golden City 150
North Shelby 270, Tarkio 120

Round 2
North Shelby 290, Golden City 150
Mound City 240, Union Star 190

Round 3
Union Star 220, Golden City 160
North Shelby 320, Mound City 130

Preliminary Round Standings
1. North Shelby 3-0, 880 pts.
2. Mound City 2-1, 540 pts.
3. Union Star 1-2, 530 pts.
4. Golden City 0-3, 460 pts.

Entering the final preliminary round, Mound City and North Shelby were 2-0 and Golden City and Union Star were 0-2. Because MSHSAA insists on having one championship game and a third place game, the format used for the state championship resulted in the third round having no direct statistical impact on placement in the tournament even before it was played.

Notes

Class changes among state finalists

This season continued a trend in state finalists from the previous season changing classes, which has occurred more frequently than during the four class era:

  • Three of the four finalists in Class 5 (Mexico, Sullivan, and Savannah) were among the seven smallest schools in Class 5, each having competed as some of the largest schools in Class 4 the previous season. This was due to a combination of growing enrollment at these schools and MSHSAA assigning a few more schools to Classes 5 and 6.
  • In addition to the above mentioned Class 5 schools, the previous season's Class 3 champion, Houston, moved up to Class 4. This put them in the same class as Fair Grove, which had similarly moved up to Class 4 the season after winning Class 3 in 2021.
  • The previous season's Class 2 champion, Columbia Independent, also moved up to Class 3, but this was because their championship in 2022 gave them enough points to move up an additional class due to the championship factor that MSHSAA applies to private schools. By winning this year's Class 3 championship, Columbia Independent became the first school to win a state championship in multiple classes during the six class era. No school accomplished this when there were four classes from 1996-2019; however, note that during that time, private schools had their enrollments inflated by a constant multiplier rather than being moved up one or two classes year-to-year based on recent performance in the state series.
  • In the opposite direction, a reduction in Thomas Jefferson Independent's championship factor dropped them from Class 3 to Class 2, due to their 2016 state championship (4 points) being replaced by their 2022 districts loss (0 points).
