Week 10 review

It was simply a glorious couple of nights for football.  While I enjoy catching a game indoors, I think football should be played outside.  The elements are part of the game.  And Thursday night was a football cathedral.  Wind & rain.  Mud & muck.  Slipping, sliding, sloshing.  It was beautiful man.  A perfect end to [...]

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 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 5 review

Just call me butter baby, because I am on a roll.  Only one ugly game this week and it truly was ugly as Rolla & Joplin slugged it out in the slop.  Other than that, I only missed close ones.  So, yes.  I am feeling better about myself.  I am somebody.  Wednesday we’ll debut the [...]

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 [...]

Week 3 review

As Monty Python sang, always look on the bright side of life.  My picks have been sub-par, but it’s made for some exciting football.  For example, I took Mountain Grove to beat Mt. View-Liberty.  But it was flat out exciting being in the house as the Eagles beat the Panthers for the first time in [...]
