2009 Globe all-area baseball team

The Joplin Globe has announced their 2009 All-Area Baseball Team.  No MVP has been announced but Carl Junction’s Flave Darnell was named one of the tri-coaches of the year for their great playoff run.  Joplin & Webb City lead the way with three players each on the 27 man first team.  McDonald County places two players on the first squad which is made up of fourteen seniors, ten juniors, and three sophomores including Tyler Burgess of Webb City, and Carl Junction’s Jack Luton.  And the Ozark 7 places the two area freshmen on the team with Wheaton’s Sean Goostree and Tyler Ferguson of Southwest being named honorable mention.

That wraps up all the postseason honors as far as I know.  Now the landing strip is clear for the 2009-2010 sports year to take off.  Congrats to all the honorees.

Class 3 Show-Me Bowl recap

In 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 their initial drive as they stopped Ritter on a fake punt getting the ball on Ritter’s 24.  After failing to pick up a first down, kicker Aaron Jamieson missed his 35 yard attempt just wide to the right.  It would turn out to be the only misstep he would make all day.

The next two Wildcat possessions ended in Jake Nolan TD passes.  First a 53 yarder to Trevor Tanner.  Then, following a Matt Stockton interception, a 10 yard throwback to Joseph Gouvion and the Cats were up 14-0 with Ritter having only 2 first downs.

State football semifinal review

Civil 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.  And Fair Grove sees their season end at the hands of the true #1 in class 2.  Here’s all the news that is news.

CLASS 1

  • Thayer, 11-1 at Tipton, 13-0
    • This is a great matchup for Thayer.  They won’t put up 70 like they did against McAuley, but they should be able to top 14.  Which is the most anyone has hung on Tipton this year.  Tipton has not seen an offensive attack as multi-dimensional as Thayer’s this year.  With Jacob Eckman and Josh Huckabee leading the way, should be able to win the ball control battle.  On defense, the Bobcats need to sell out to stop the run and make Tipton pass to win.  They haven’t been very successful in doing that but their defense has been strong enough to get them through.
