Class 3 Show-Me Bowl recap

In their first trip to the state finals, the Cassville Wildcats couldn’t have asked for much more as they steamrolled through Cardinal Ritter 31-7 to win their first Show-Me Bowl and the school’s first ever state championship in a team sport.

Cassville failed to take advantage of great field position on their initial drive as they stopped Ritter on a fake punt getting the ball on Ritter’s 24.  After failing to pick up a first down, kicker Aaron Jamieson missed his 35 yard attempt just wide to the right.  It would turn out to be the only misstep he would make all day.

The next two Wildcat possessions ended in Jake Nolan TD passes.  First a 53 yarder to Trevor Tanner.  Then, following a Matt Stockton interception, a 10 yard throwback to Joseph Gouvion and the Cats were up 14-0 with Ritter having only 2 first downs.

Show-Me Bowl preview

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.  Hope you’re enjoying the day with family and friends.  Tomorrow I’ll be making the trek to and from St. Louis so I’ll have the class 1 and class 3 game reports Saturday for you.  If you don’t have Fox Sports Midwest, MSHSAA will have the results as soon as they games are over.  Here’s what to look forward to.

CLASS 1

  • Thayer, 12-1 vs Orrick, 14-0 – No surprise to see these two meet again.  The season has shown that they are clearly the cream of class 1.  Outside of their loss to Liberty, Thayer has only been challenged in their 21-13 win over class 3 power Mountain Grove, and their 28-21 sectional win over Miller when they were clearly looking past the Cardinals.  No one else has come within 3 touchdowns of them.  Orrick has been dominating pitching 9 shutouts and only allowing more than 8 points to one opponent.  The Bearcats are riding a 28 game winning streak that has as it’s centerpiece last year’s championship win over Thayer.  The Bobcats dominated the first half of that game, but an interception, a blocked punt, and 2 drives the ended on downs inside the 20 kept the halftime score 8-8.  Orrick came alive in the second half and won 20-8.  The rematch promises to be just as good as the original.
