So when I am not looking at the Missouri boys high school teams or the 2021 AAU scene, I go back and look at the teams in the 2024 age category. So here's another update, based primarily on the CNR league but also taking into account other area tournaments.
There has been some turnover in team makeup so some of the teams listed might now be defunct. At some point, I will sort those out. You might also find a few outstate teams but I am focusing primarily on the St. Louis area:
