Mike Brown has been to seven NBA Finals with four different organizations. He’s coached LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Steph Curry, Tim Duncan, Kevin Durant, and Jalen Brunson. When asked what all championship teams have in common, his answer had nothing to do with those nuclear talents. “The commonality they all had is they all sacrificed for one another. They were all connected. They all had a competitive spirit. And there was a high level of belief... Not just in the process, but in each other.” He was able to boil down years of success in different places to 4 common traits: 🩸 Sacrifice 🎮 Connectivity ⚠️ Ownership ✝️ Belief Championship teams don't win solely because they have the best player. They create a championship environment from ownership starting with the best player all the way to the last player on the bench. The entire organization is willing to surrender something for something bigger than themselves. You need good players, yes... But talent only determines your ceiling. Sacrifice determines your capacity to reach it.

We don’t promote exposure. We focus on outcomes. 94% have played college basketball. 86% have earned full scholarships. 50% have played or are signed Division 1. 42% have signed Division 1 out of HS. This is the standard. #MPJelite

Want to know where Missouri's best play? We're proud to have 5 players named to the All-State team in the largest classification. The only program in Missouri to do so: Brandon Rooks, Reese Kimrey, Tre Paulding, Brody Owen & Nolan Struckmann. We value Missouri.

Tevin was signed to Rockhurst but his recruitment is back open due to a coaching change. One of the most skilled 6’7 forwards in the region. No brainer!

Phil Jones is back leading the way. He's a point guard with state championship pedigree. Creating offense off the bounce and making the game easy for others is his specialty. Real floor general that packs the box score! #MPJelite

A familiar face is back. Nolan Struckmann proved to be one of the best juniors in Missouri this season. The stats don't lie. He led a 24-5 team in points, rebounds, steals, and blocks. We know passing vision is what makes him special. He's going to have a huge summer! #MPJelite

Congratulations to 29' Cayden Bledsoe on being named all-district! One of the most impactful freshmen in the state.
Class 4 Boys All-District MBCA All-District is voted on by member coaches within the district. All-District is not an all-district tournament team; it reflects the entire regular season. The top 10 players from each district receive All-District honors (no first or second teams or honorable mention). Ten players receive these honors unless: there is a tie for 10th place (no tiebreakers; all receive honors), the district lacked 10 nominations from coaches, or head coaches chose not to be MBCA members and did not nominate players. The player receiving the most points is named District Player of the Year. Coaches within the district also vote on Coach of the Year. Players are listed by school in alphabetical order.

We're excited to have Zion Luque back with the team! He does whatever it takes on the defensive end. His ability to slide, switch, and contest at 6'8 brings the entire team together. #MPJelite
