The 1997 MSHSAA State Championship was held May 10, 1997 at Stephens College in Columbia.

Information on this page is reconstructed from limited available data and may not be completely accurate. Known team records are inferred from the 2001 state program, which listed the years each school participated in the tournament and cumulative records for 1996-99. Classifications for teams that did not make the top four brackets are inferred from the earliest available enrollment data (from 2000-02) and known classifications in later tournaments. Playoff brackets from the MSHSAA website are assumed to display the semifinal games as 1v4 and 3v2, in that order top-to-bottom.

Known Individual Totals

Mike Wehrman answered 133 of 250 tossups correctly, setting a record that stood until Max Schindler broke it in 2011. No other player answered more than 70 tossups correctly.

  • Mike's rounds of 27, 30, 27, 26, and 23 tossups answered correctly were the top five individual single-game performances until his brother Andy Wehrman scored 24 in a game in 1999.
  • 30 tossups stood as the single-game record until Max Schindler answered 31 tossups correctly in a game in 2011.
  • 23 tossups stood as the championship game record until Adam Hill from Nixa answered 24 correctly in 2001.

The first known Class 1A record was 55 tossups set in 1998, so no player in Class 1A answered that many tossups correctly.

Other records and notes

  • North Kansas City scored 2510 points (an average of 502 per game), only surpassed by Savannah's 2585 points in 2004 before NAQT started providing questions in 2011. Ladue first broke the class 4 record with 2840 points, and several more teams surpassed NKC's original record through the last five-round tournament in 2019.
  • North Kansas City's 600 points in round 2 set a Class 4A record, which was matched by Blue Springs in 2000 before being broken by Ladue in 2011.
  • North Kansas City and Mound City each answered 28 tossups correctly in their championship matches, setting a record for championship games. It appears that this record was tied several times but not broken until Ladue did so in either 2012 or 2013.

1996 MSHSAA State Championship
1998 MSHSAA State Championship
  1. The 2001 program shows a cumulative record of 8-5 for North Shelby for their appearances in 1996 through 1998. North Shelby did not make the final four in 1996 and also finished in second place in 1998.
  2. The 2001 program shows a cumulative record of 6-7 for Norborne for their appearances in 1997 through 1999. Norborne also finished in third place in 1998 and did not make the final four in 1999. They most likely went 3-2 in 1997 and 1998, and 0-3 in 1999.
  3. The 2001 program shows a cumulative record of 3-5 for Fair Play for their appearances in 1996 and 1997. Fair Play did not make the playoffs in 1996, so assuming they were the four seed, they most likely went 2-3 in 1997.
  4. The 2001 program shows a cumulative record of 10-8 for Pilot Grove for their appearances in 1996 through 1999. 1-2 is a guess based on the known and estimated records of the other teams.
  5. The 2001 program shows a cumulative record of 7-7 for Union Star for their appearances in 1996 through 1999. Their third place finish in 1996 was their only final four appearance over that time, so they won three or four games over their three other appearances. It is possible they could have gone 2-1 or 0-3, but 1-2 is most likely.
  6. The 2001 program shows a cumulative record of 2-9 for Koshkonong for their appearances in 1997 through 1999. Koshkonong finished in fourth place in 1999, so they most likely went 2-3 that year, leaving a record of 0-3 for the other two appearances.
  7. The 2001 program shows a cumulative record of 6-2 for Ash Grove for their appearances in 1997 and 1998. Ash Grove did not make the final four in 1998, so a record of 4-1 in 1997 and 2-1 in 1998 is the only possibility.
  8. The 2001 program shows a cumulative record of 5-11 for Lockwood for their appearances in 1996 through 1999. They finished fourth in 1996 and second in 1997, so they most likely went 2-3 in 1996 and 0-3 in 1998 and 1999.
  9. The 2001 program shows a cumulative record of 5-5 for South Callaway for their appearances in 1996 and 1997. They finished second in 1996 and fourth in 1997, so it is likely they went 3-2 in 1996 and 2-3 in 1997.
  10. The 2001 program shows a cumulative record of 2-4 for Bernie for their appearances in 1997 and 1999. It is possible they could have gone 2-1 one year and 0-3 the other, but 1-2 both years is most likely.
  11. The 2001 program shows a cumulative record of 2-4 for East Buchanan for their appearances in 1997 and 1999. It is possible they could have gone 2-1 one year and 0-3 the other, but 1-2 both years is most likely.
  12. The 2001 program shows a cumulative record of 1-8 for Purdy for their appearances in 1996, 1997, and 1999. It is possible their one win could have been in 1997, but that is unlikely based on the records of the other teams.
  13. The 2001 program shows a cumulative record of 9-7 for Priory for their appearances in 1996 through 1999.
  14. The 2001 program shows a cumulative record of 5-6 for New Madrid County Central for their appearances in 1996 through 1998.
  15. The 2001 program shows a cumulative record of 12-8 for Lexington for their appearances in 1996 through 1999.
  16. The 2001 program shows a cumulative record of 4-4 for Pembroke Hill for their appearances in 1997 and 1999. If Pembroke Hill was the 1 seed in 1999 as assumed from the website bracket, they probably went 4-1 that year, but may have gone 3-2.
  17. The 2001 program shows a cumulative record of 6-7 for Butler for their appearances in 1996 through 1998.
  18. North Kansas City's record is confirmed from each of their known record book scores exceeding 450 points. Records for SLUH and Neosho are confirmed from the 2001 program showing this as their only appearance from 1996-99. Cape Central and Lee's Summit North's records are confirmed from being winless from 1996-99. This leaves five wins to distribute between Kirksville, Marquette, and Raytown. With Kirksville and Marquette losing preliminary games to NKC, this is the only possible outcome that results in the published final four bracket.
