2009 MFBCA Football Academic All-State Team

Last year I was highly critical that the Ozarks wasn’t very well represented on the football academic all-state team.  A grand total of 16 teams and 47 players from the Ozarks made it last year.  Well let’s give a big round of applause to all the coaches who took the time to nominate [...]

Regional football review

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 [...]

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.

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

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 8 review

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 [...]

Week 6 review

When did basketball season start?  Seriously.  54-41? 60-41? 69-63?  7-6?  Oh wait, that’s more like it.  Yes it was an offense happy week 6.  But the defense was still out there.  Nixa & Camdenton played a 7-6 headknocker.  Pierce City & Miller only put up 25 points combined, and even #1 Monett only managed 14 [...]

Week 4 picks

“Oh, it’s on.  It’s definitely on.” – Double Down Trent, Swingers

Yeah, that’s right.  Three weeks of chaos is enough.  I’m bringing the heat this week.  Takin’ it to the house.  Goin’ all the way.  Throwin’ down at the hoedown.  No double digit misses this week, no sir.  In fact, I wouldn’t [...]
