Final rankings: four teams finish hoops season at No. 1

Four Springfield area teams finish the 2015-2016 high school basketball season with the No. 1 ranking in their respective class in the final state coaches’ poll of the season.

The last Missouri Basketball Coaches Association poll of a season typically follows the results of the state championship games played in Columbia at the Show Me Showdown, and that line of thought played out for the four state champion teams from southwest Missouri.

In girls basketball, Class 5 champion Kickapoo, Class 3 champion Strafford, and Class 2 champion Crane all end the season with the No. 1 ranking in the state poll.
