It was almost a perfect night to be an eagle on the gridiron. 4 out of 5 Eagle teams playing won including Pierce City knocking off undefeated Warsaw. Fair Grove, Mt. View-Liberty, and Nixa also soared to wins. Only Jasper falls from the feathered football ranks.
Enough with the bird puns. A great night of football for Ozarks teams. Some last minute finishes, huge performances, a big upset, 11 teams say goodbye to another football season, and 19 are still alive.
CLASS 1
- Thayer 36, Lockwood 21
- This game was 22-21 with just over 4 minutes left and would have been tied but for a missed Lockwood XP. But a score, an interception, and another TD secured the win. Cameron Carey was the wrecking ball for the Bobcats rushing for 232 yards and three TDs. Josh Huckabee added 100+ rushing yards also. Reports put Lockwood QB Blake Abbiatti at over 350 yards passing. I’ll update this when I can verify.
