Here are the eight missing Missouri teams:
Code:
Ballwin, MO USA Parkway West High School 1609
Kansas City, MO USA DeLaSalle Education Center 1776
Independence , MO USA Van Horn High School 1981
Raytown, MO USA Raytown South High School 1992
Blue Springs , MO USA Blue Springs High School 1996
Maryville, MO USA Missouri Academy of Science, Mathematics, and Computing 2167
Independence, MO USA Fort Osage High School 2366
Kansas City, MO USA East High School 2799
1609 - Missed 2007 and 2008 seasons before returning last year.
1981 - I am fairly certain it was combined with 1723. The school and most of the students switched districts after the team was created, and 1723 carries the district name.
1992 - Combined with 1782?
1996 - Combined with 1785, which has changed it's affiliation to "Blue Springs School District" to reflect this.
2167 - When registration opened for KC, there were three or four teams registered to this school, at least. All have since been removed.
2799 - "Van Horn @ East High School" opened up last year because KC needed a place to put the kids that were affected by the boundary change that affected 1981.
Edit: Ones missing from KC confirmed to not be participating this year per KC FIRST list:
