2009 Regional Football Preview

“Playoffs?” – Jim Mora

Yes, coach.  We’re talking about the playoffs.  Because they’re here.  Thirty teams from the Ozarks seek the state championship in five different classifications.  Thirty teams are done for the year.  At least nine more schools will start basketball practice after tomorrow night.  Here’s what to watch for.

CLASS 1

Lockwood (6-4) at Thayer (8-1)

Week 10 review

It was simply a glorious couple of nights for football.  While I enjoy catching a game indoors, I think football should be played outside.  The elements are part of the game.  And Thursday night was a football cathedral.  Wind & rain.  Mud & muck.  Slipping, sliding, sloshing.  It was beautiful man.  A perfect end to [...]

Week 9 review

Some teams rise up when the stakes are high.  Others fall flatter than a Kansas wheat field.  Seeing a team make the transition from one who falls to one who stands strong can be exhilarating.  Watching a team go the other way can be painful beyond all measure.   Friday’s action showed off some of [...]

Week 3 review

As Monty Python sang, always look on the bright side of life.  My picks have been sub-par, but it’s made for some exciting football.  For example, I took Mountain Grove to beat Mt. View-Liberty.  But it was flat out exciting being in the house as the Eagles beat the Panthers for the first time in [...]
