Class 3 Show-Me Bowl Review & Analysis

Many times at the end of the season, the team that ends up #1 has people question them.  Usually by using ‘IFs’.  For example, statements like this were made about last Cassville state title run last year.  IF they hadn’t changed the playoff system, they wouldn’t have even made it.  IF Harrisonville was still in class 3 they wouldn’t have won.  IF Chillicothe hadn’t missed that extra point, they would have won instead.  Some people might say that IF Centrailia hadn’t lost to Brentwood, they would have beat Maryville in the championship.  Sometimes the ‘IFs’ are true statements, but they’ alsore in the past and can’t be changed.  But to some people, they will always leave a question mark on a teams accomplishments.

CLASS 2

  • Maryville 21, Lamar 7
    • The Tigers were in it all the way until Maryville scored with just over 2 minutes remaining to secure the victory.  The story was the Maryville defense as Lamar threw everything but the kitchen sink at them in an attempt to generate offense.  Lamar was only able to rush for 128 yards on the day, and had just under 250 yards total.  But Lamar’s defense was just as good shutting down the Spoofhounds offense for all but their last scoring drive.   Continue reading Semifinal Football Report

And here we are.  The last step on the road to the Dome.  Lamar has made their first semifinal.  Can they take the next step like Cassville did last year?  The Wildcats went all the way as an underdog in 2008.  Can they repeat as the front runner?  Webb City brought an end to Kearney’s quest for a perfect season a year ago.  Can they withstand a Bulldog squad bent on revenge?  With Clark County’s loss last Saturday, Cassville and Webb City have the longest playoff winning streaks at 8 games.  Can they both go back to back?  And can the Big 8 put two teams in the big game?  We’ll find out Saturday.  Here’s what to watch for.
