2009 MFBCA Football Academic All-State Team

Last year I was highly critical that the Ozarks wasn’t very well represented on the football academic all-state team. A grand total of 16 teams and 47 players from the Ozarks made it last year. Well let’s give a big round of applause to all the coaches who took the time to nominate their players this year because this year, the Ozarks are proudly represented by 27 teams and 88 players. Leading the way is Webb City with 8, Lebanon with 7, Fair Grove with 6, Springfield Catholic and Thayer each have 5, and Nixa, Neosho, Salem, Seneca, and state champion Cassville each place 4 players.

Twelve players make their second appearance on the team. They are Zach Cooley of Lebanon, Damian Fadl of Waynesville, Alex Wise of Neosho, Tanner Green and Ron Johnson of Nevada, Beau Bounous of Monett, Ben Selby of Reeds Spring, Ty Floyd and Kevin Presley of Salem, Max Jersak of Catholic, and Alec Hackett and Caleb Schaffitzel of Fair Grove.

2009

And now we finally get the sportswriters all-state team. To no one’s surprise Cassville leads the way with 6 players selected for the class 3 team. RB Joseph Gouvion, OL Dylan Gibson, K Matt Angel, and DL Garrett Mahurin all make the first team. With LB Devin Linenbrink and DB Josh Lewright making the second team. Next comes nine different Ozarks squads who place 3 players. Bolivar, Carthage, Miller, Rogersville, Thayer, and Webb City each have 2 first team and 1 second team pick. Lamar, Rolla, and Seneca each place 3 players on the second team.

Notables include Carthage’s Brian Poston who, after being left off the coaches all-state team, gets a well deserved class 4 first team selection. Jeff Pipenbrink of Jasper gives the Eagles their first all-state player in 15 years. And Hillcrest’ Doriel Green is the only sophomore selected for the class 4 team. Notable exclusions would include Webb City’s Scott Roderique, Kyle Smith of Lamar, and Cassville’s Trevor Tanner. Each was a coaches first team pick.

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.

Semifinal Football Report

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

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.

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.
