Sectional Football Preview

Monday night is rematch night.  Seven of the ten games feature teams playing each other for the second time this year.  Six of those being replays of district games.  Two of the remaining three are repeats of games from last year.  Some things are quite different, some are exactly the same.  Here’s what to look [...]

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 [...]

Live! From the Ozarks! It’s week 9!!

OK folks, I’m wrapping this up for now.  I’ll post the full scoreboard later.  And if I ever suggest doing this again, somebody kindly shoot me.  Thanks.

9:37 – Lockwood 39, Sarcoxie 13 – final.  Jasper 55, McAuley 0.  Bolivar 55, Hillcrest 14.

9:33 – It’s a final, Fair Grove 38, Strafford 30.  Other finals.  Lamar 35, [...]

Week 7 review

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 [...]

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 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 [...]

Week 5 picks

We’ll be at the halfway point after tonight.  That means the weekly rankings, undefeated list, & winless list will debut this season next week.  Both lists have been shrinking each week & I think the same happens tonight.  At least two winless teams will get their first W as we have two 0-4 [...]

Week 4 review

Well, it wasn’t a perfect week like I hoped for, but it wasn’t bad either.  One of those coming totally out of the blue.  Joplin & Camdenton staged a shootout for the ages with Rolla & Parkview not far behind.  Ava & Seneca proved they are teams to watch out for.  Waynesville continued their free [...]

Regional football review

Great start to the playoffs last night.  We’ll know where all the winners are bound after tonight.  Big shockers were Versailles knocking off Mountain Grove 14-10.  The Panthers were arguably playing as well as anyone in SW Mo the last 8 weeks of the season.  Neosho beating Carthage wasn’t a surprise, but the ease with [...]
