Quarterfinal Football Review

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.

CLASS 1

Valle Catholic 42, Miller 6
- Just a dominant effort by the Valle line and by QB Michael Greminger. The Warriors scored on all five of their first half possessions. Greminger had a part in the last four as he threw for 197 yards and 3 TDs, and rushed for 62 and a TD in the half. Justin Jack lead Miller with 59 yards rushing and threw for 129 yards and finally got Miller on the board as time expired with a 7 yard TD pass to Tyler Hinshaw. The Cardinals see a fine season come to a disappointing end.

Quarterfinal Preview

Alright folks. Quarterfinal Saturday. Here’s what to look for.

CLASS 1

Valle Catholic (12-0) at Miller (10-2)
- After getting the past their recent nemesis, Thayer, the Cardinals come up against an even more formidable challenge in Valle Catholic. The Warriors have scored an astonishing 125 points in their first two playoff games. And average over 45 ppg on the season. They run a spread offense triggered by senior QB Michael Greminger who passes well, runs well, and causes havoc for opposing defenses. The Warriors also have athletes all over the field for him to hand off & pass to. Defensively, they use their speed to attack & force turnovers. The key for Miller will be to contain Greminger, force him to throw to beat them, and close on receivers quickly to minimize gains. If they try to cover man-to-man, Greminger has the arm strength to go deep. If they try to blitz to bring pressure, he read the field very well and will hit his check down receivers. A balanced, consistent, defensive approach is needed. Derek Jack and Damon Dempster having big days would help also. They will score points, just keep it from being too many. Offensively, Miller has the horses to open some holes, and the speed to exploit them. But Valle brings great speed also. Justin Jack needs to use a variety of receivers, Daniel Parscal needs to use his speed to make some plays on the ground, and the Miller offense needs to keep the Warrior defense on the field as much as possible. A big challenge, but not out of reach.

Sectional review

CLASS 1

Adrian 28, Greenfield 25 (OT)
- After Jamie Gray gave Greenfield the fourth quarter lead, Adrian got a TD and 2 point conversion with 2 seconds left to send the game to overtime. Greenfield had the ball first, was held, and Jordan Bryant converted a 37 yard FG to give them some points. But Adrian’s Skylar Kariker caught his second TD pass of the night to give the Blackhawks the win and eliminate Greenfield. Bryant had 2 TD runs for Greenfield going in from 25 and 62 yards and finished with 160 yards rushing. But it’s the Blackhawks avenging last years sectional defeat and moving on.

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 for.

CLASS 1

Miller (9-2) at Thayer (9-1)
- The big question here is did Lockwood find a chink in Thayer’s armor with the passing game? Or was it just one of those nights? In week 8 Thayer brought the heat on Miller QB Justin Jack in his first game back & battered him on their way to a 54-14 trouncing of the Cardinals. As usual, the Bobcats found major yards on the ground rushing for almost 500 yards. Miller has changed up their defense since then with good results, but can they shut down that Thayer rushing attack? Before you answer, consider this. Last year’s district game between these two at Miller, Thayer wins 43-7. When they met in the second round at Thayer, the Bobcats won but only by a score of 28-21.

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.

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.

CLASS 1

Lockwood (6-4) at Thayer (8-1)
- This one is simple. Can Lockwood contain the running attack of the Bobcats? Josh Huckabee is the big dog. But Cameron Carey & Ethan Leisenring are equally able to run for big yards. The weather should be good giving the Tigers and Blake Abbiatti a chance to make some yards through the air. But if the defense doesn’t play their best game, it won’t matter.

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 9 picks

Amazing isn’t it. Week 9 and there are still questions to be answered. Just how good is (Osceola, Ava, Seneca)? Can Justin Jack get back to form for the playoffs? Is this senior class at Thayer the true heart of this team that’s been so good these past three years? And is this their time finally? Is Jeff Pipenbrink the best small school WR around? Will anyone score on the Cassville defense again this year?

We may know some of these answers after this week. As well as some playoff teams and some more conference champions. But there will surely be more answers to seek next week. But for now, let’s just focus on the…

Game of the Week

Fair Grove (8-0) (#2 class 2) at Strafford (5-3)

Week 8 picks

Wow! I mean wow! If you look at the state rankings, and remember that we’re in districts now, the Ozarks has the possibility of 4 meetings between state ranked team. One in class 4 with three teams there, two in class 3 with 4 teams ranked, and one more in class 1 with the three ranked teams there. That’s the best we could do. Well guess what, that’s exactly what we’ve got. Four matchups between state ranked squads tonight. Not only are we gonna have a big time in the Ozarks, we’re gonna shake up the state. Get ready to go, here’s the…

Week 8 Picks

Game of the Week

Monett (7-0) (#1 class 3) at Cassville (6-1) (#5 class 3)
- Two top 5 teams in class 3, two great rivals, an important district matchup, and all the built up drama from last year. Let’s face it, this is the game most folks have been looking forward to this year and neither team has disappointed. After an opening week loss to Branson, the Wildcats retooled defense has been getting better & better. They haven’t allowed more than 19 points since, and haven’t allowed more than 7 in the last four games. RB Joseph Gouvion leads the team in scoring. But like last year, the defense is where it’s at and they’re lead by linebackers Trenton Tanner and Devin Linenbrink. They’ll need to be sharp to shut down Monett RB Christian Privett, the heart and soul of the Cub offense. QB Tyler Green needs to find some yards through the air to allow Privett some running room. Spencer Witt is his favorite target.
