Sunday, November 30th, 2008On a day when the Webb City defense was not at their best, the Cardinal offense rose to the challenge scoring 20 fourth quarter points to bring home the Cardinals eighth state championship 41-34.
Although they weren’t statistically at their best, in the end Webb City’s defense still played a huge part in the win as [...]
Class 3 Show-Me Bowl recap
Saturday, November 29th, 2008In their first trip to the state finals, the Cassville Wildcats couldn’t have asked for much more as they steamrolled through Cardinal Ritter 31-7 to win their first Show-Me Bowl and the school’s first ever state championship in a team sport.
Cassville failed to take advantage of great field position on thier initial drive as they [...]
Class 1 Show-Me Bowl recap
Saturday, November 29th, 2008I remember in 1986 when Camdenton tied for the state title with Marshall 20-20. No overtime was allowed in the championship game then, and at the time I thought “That’s stupid.” Every other game played during the regular season and playoffs used the overtime formula we now know to decide a winner, but [...]
Show-Me Bowl preview
Thursday, November 27th, 2008Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Hope you’re enjoying the day with family and friends. Tomorrow I’ll be making the trek to and from St. Louis so I’ll have the class 1 and class 3 game reports Saturday for you. If you don’t have Fox Sports Midwest, MSHSAA will have the results as soon as they games [...]
Live, from St. Louis…
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008Unfortunately, I will not be live from St. Louis. MSHSAA did not deem this fledgling website worthy of media credentials. In other words my plans to spend Friday & Saturday immersed in pigskinny goodness posting from the Jones Dome will not come to fruition. But you can find some consolation in that Fox Sports Midwest [...]

Monday, November 24th, 2008D, as in the Roman numeral for 500!! Yay! It’s the 500th post! Yay!
That’s right, just like the Pointer Sisters, I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it. But for very different reasons.
500 posts is a lot.
There seem to be more people all the time enjoying said posts.
My autobiography would be awfully short if [...]
State football semifinal review
Monday, November 24th, 2008Civil War Saturday ended in a decisive win for the South as the Ozarks claimed 3 of 4 games. The #1 teams in class 3 and 4 saw their seasons end as Chillicothe fell to Cassville 14-13, and Kearney was upended by Webb City 14-7. Thayer gets their rematch with Orrick after trouncing Tipton 13-0. [...]
State soccer finals
Saturday, November 22nd, 2008While not a perfect finish for the Ozarks team playing in St. Louis this weekend, it was a step forward for SW Mo soccer nonetheless. After becoming the first Ozarks squad to reach the class 3 final, Glendale falls short of winning the title. Rockhurst dropped them 3-0 tonight. Officially, Glendale did not have a [...]
