2010 COC Large Football Predictions

Forget about the conference title, the big question is can any one put an end to Webb City’s regular season winning streak? There are some challengers, but will they break the string or get strung up?

Team	Wins	Losses	Conf wins	Conf losses
Webb City	9	1	7	0
Nixa	9	1	6	1
Carthage	8	2	5	2
Branson	5	5	3	4
Neosho	5	5	3	3
Ozark	3	7	2	5
Willard	2	8	1	5
Republic	1	9	0	7

My choice is strung up. With Scott Roderique and Christian Hoffman returning at linebacker, the Cardinals will be tough to score on. Continue reading 2010 COC Large Football Predictions

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 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.

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 both. And for many of you, you don’t have to search your memory very much to find those teams who have changed lately.

A couple examples of teams that have changed for the better? Cassville. 0-10 a few short years ago and a team that won only 1 district title from ’05 to ’07 despite losing only three games during that stretch. Now, the defending state champs have consecutive wins over excellent teams to win their district title. How about Lebanon? After breaking a 14 year losing streak to Camdenton last year, they put a huge crimp in the Lakers playoff fortunes by starting their own winning streak in the series. I won’t point out teams that have changed for the worse. I’m sure you can come up with those on your own.

Remember to slow down and savor your next to last helping of…

Week 6 picks

A super week of action this week. Huge matchups with Mountain Grove traveling to Bolivar, Greenfield going to Jasper, and Branson taking on Carthage. Huge conference games with Salem at Mt. View-Liberty, Neosho at Webb City, Pierce City at Miller, Hillcrest at Lebanon, and Camdenton at Nixa. And the huge district gets underway with class 5 district 7 action between Ozark and Parkview, and Kickapoo and Glendale.

No jokes this week folks. Here’s the…

Week 6 Picks

Game of the Week

Mountain Grove (4-1) (#8 class 3) at Bolivar (5-0) (#3 class 4)
- On the surface, this appears to be a matchup of offensive powers. The Panthers average just over 30 ppg, while Bolivar goes for over 40. The names are on the offensive side. Evan Williams and Chris Mathews for Mountain Grove. Josh Moffett, Alex Talley, and Kolton Peavy for Bolivar. And it may ultimately be. If neither defense asserts itself, this could be a shootout. Bolivar is so balanced run to pass that no defense can key on any one area. The Panthers have shown they can take charge of the ground and run all day. But I think it’s more likely that one of the defenses does take control and generates a substantial second half lead for their team. But who? Mountain Grove is yielding just over 10 ppg and has two straight shutouts. But gave up 36 to the best passing team they’ve seen so far, Mt. View-Liberty. Bolivar’s D is averaging just over 14 ppg and seems to be improving. But gave up an inexplicable 28 to Republic earlier this year.

Week 3 picks

I need a comeback week after last weeks cavalcade of ugly picks. This week is a little light on top line games. Rogersville/Bolivar, Miller/Greenfield, and Mountain Grove/Mt. View-Liberty the headliners. Lots of games that have serious conference consequences though. I’ll be headed to Howell County to catch Mountain Grove & Liberty. Don’t overlook the Higginsville/El Dorado Springs game. Both are 2-0 and while there are still question marks about how good each is, it should be a great game. And just remember, right now for a low low price of just $13.99, you can own your very own…

Week 3 Picks

Game of the Week

Rogersville (2-0) (#8 class 3) at Bolivar (2-0) (#3 class 4)
- Bolivar just wants to keep doing what they’re doing. Keep Josh Moffett scoring touchdowns, Kolton Peavey passing well, and Alex Talley picking off everything in sight. The last may be the most difficult as Rogersville isn’t planning to throw much. Especially if they can continue to run like they did last week against Branson going for 271 yards. Dylan Cole scored on runs of 21 and 95 yards to lead the attack. The Wildcats also need Colton Dill to truly be a multi-threat to keep the Liberator defense from keying in on one area. If Bolivar can grab the early lead, they should win. But if it stays close, I’d give Rogersville the advantage.

Week 2 picks

It’s a week to get some questions answered. Such as “Just how good is (Branson, Carthage, Rogersville, Nixa)?”. Or “Was the win by (Jasper, Cabool, Parkview) a fluke or are they ready for breakout seasons?”. How about the ever popular “Surely (Camdenton, Hillcrest, Cassville, Ozark) is better than they looked in week one arent’ they?”. I don’t know if we’ll have all the answers after tonight, but we’ll have more. Some great games on tap tonight. Nixa & Carthage clash to see who will be Webb City’s main challenger in the COC Large division. Speaking of the Cardinals, I’ll be making the journey south of the border to watch them take on the Rogers Mounties while a few blocks over Parkview will be clashing with Heritage. Thayer & Mountain Grove will be doing battle. And Rogersville takes the drive down to Branson to take on the Pirates. Here they are with no preservatives added…
