A great Saturday of football. Some great performances, a couple of fantastic finishes, and three area teams took a step closer to state titles. The Big 8 had a big day. And a future high school legend took his last trip to the end zone.

For this week, we’re gonna break it down a little differently. Because it’s a different time of year. It’s a time when a team that has one win on the year can be playing for a shot at the playoffs. It’s a time when a coach could say “This game really means nothing.” and be right. And most importantly, it’s a time when one game can make the difference between playing on, and getting ready for basketball season. The playoffs don’t officially start until next Wednesday. But you’ll never convince some of these teams of that. Let’s get it on with the…
Week 10 Picks

- Warsaw (9-0) (#4 class 2) at El Dorado Springs (6-3) – Thursday

What a week. Class 3 #1 Monett goes down hard. As does #6 Mountain Grove. A team wins on a safety. A running back averages almost 34 yards a carry. Class 4 #1 Webb City and class 1 #5 Thayer make big statements about their intentions. And 200 yard rushing games abound this week with at least 6 different runners hitting the mark. Now here’s your piping hot version of…

I think it’s safe to say we had the upset of the year this weekend. I had Greenfield/Lockwood on my ‘Games to keep an eye on’ list, but only thought it would be closer than expected. Lebanon has found the power switch after a slow start to the season. They’ll need it going into a district that features undefeated Rolla, a Camdenton team that is lethal when on, and a Waynesville squad that has one two of their last three. Webb City & Cassville look to be in great form to defend their titles, Mountain Grove may have found the springboard they need to get them to the Dome, and our favorite Eagle continues to soar. All in this weeks hermetically sealed version of…

Just call me butter baby, because I am on a roll. Only one ugly game this week and it truly was ugly as Rolla & Joplin slugged it out in the slop. Other than that, I only missed close ones. So, yes. I am feeling better about myself. I am somebody. Wednesday we’ll debut the rankings for each class along with the undefeated & winless lists. But rest assured, I’ll be studying hard to do even better this week in the meantime.
Because I’m not happy, until all the ugly is eliminated from…

One thing I dislike about football season is that it’s so short. 10 weeks, then the playoffs which add 4 more weeks and it’s done. Which for someone like me, leaves me very little time to see all the teams I’d like to. It’s like a really great potluck dinner. Everything is prepared and you’re dying to eat. There are tons of great dishes, but you can only sample so many before the table is cleared or you get full. You get pretty selective about what you take. That’s the way I am about the games I attend. Now factor in that I’m a band parent that’s very involved with the marching band. That obligates me to be in attendance for all the home games I can make it to. Cutting my potluck time in half. In short, I give a lot of thought to what games I’m going to watch
And so it was that I, along with a fellow football fan, found ourselves driving down to Rogers, Arkansas on Sept. 4th to watch the clash between the Webb City Cardinals & the Rogers Mountaineers. So many things attracted me to this game. Seeing for myself how good Webb was after their easy win over Harrisonville. Laying eyes on Rogers $15.5 million football facility. The chance to spend an evening in among the Webbies themselves and see if they were as good/bad as advertised. And the fact that last years game between these two was a classic and this game held the same possibility.
