==Notes==
* Smithville's 350-280 win in the Class 5 District 8 final snapped Savannah's streak of 23 consecutive district championships dating back to the school's first district championship in 2000. The longest active streak became St. Joseph Central's 10 consecutive championships dating to 2014. With [[Houston (MO)|Houston]] and [[Kickapoo]] also losing their district championship games, Central's is the only streak active as of 2024 that extends before 2021 into the four class era.

 * Because of increasing enrollment and the championship factor applied to private schools, Lutheran (Kansas City) became the first school to win a district in three different classes in the six class era (Class 1 in 2021, Class 3 in 2022-2023, and Class 4 in 2024), later winning quarterfinals and advancing to the state championship all four years. This was never accomplished during the four class era, when the enrollments of private schools were inflated by a constant multiplier rather than considering past performance in the MSHSAA championship series.
-* The #2 seed won the championship in four of six classes, reversing the result of the preliminary game in three. This was the most non-#1 seeds to win a state championship in a single state tournament since at least 2002 and probably all-time. However, in all six classes, the state champion had the best record outright, or had the most points across all four rounds when tied for the best record.

 * In the 28 years MSHSAA has run the state championship, not counting the first tournament in 1996, this was only the third time (after [[2002 MSHSAA State Championship|2002]] and [[2016 MSHSAA State Championship|2016]]) that none of the champions had won a championship at the previous season's state tournament.
