The Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) released its district basketball pairings on Friday morning, and Brentwood and Maplewood Richmond Heights stay together.

Class 3 District 4 includes Maplewood Richmond Heights, Whitfield, John Burroughs, Brentwood, Lutheran St. Charles, Kennedy, Principia and Valley Park.

That applied to girls and boys teams.

MRH boys coach Corey Frazier stated, in the St. Louis Post Dispatch,

“We’ve been in the district with Carnahan and all those guys for so many years, Lift for Life, Cardinal Ritter,” Maplewood coach Corey Frazier said. “It seems strange that they’ve spread us all out. I don’t know what to say about it. It’s just something different.”
