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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

OzarksSports.Net Week 6 Football Update

After a high scoring week 6, there’s a little bit of jostling in the rankings.  All the number ones remain the same with Monett hanging on by a thread.  Big matchups in a number of conferences this week.  None bigger than Ava & Mt. View-Liberty in the SCA.  Osceola also has a major game 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 [...]

OzarksSports.Net week 5 football update

Let’s face it, polls & rankings are useless.  They really are.  They have no bearing whatsoever on the actual outcomes, cause debate & hard feelings, and mainly serve to show that we really have no idea what’s going to happen.  Pre-season rankings are the worst.  Trying to decide who is best when you have nothing [...]

Week 3 picks

I need a comeback week after last weeks cavalcade of ugly picks.  This week is a little light on top line games.  Rogersville/Bolivar, Miller/Greenfield, and Mountain Grove/Mt. View-Liberty the headliners.  Lots of games that have serious conference consequences though.  I’ll be headed to Howell County to catch Mountain Grove & Liberty.  Don’t overlook the Higginsville/El [...]

Week 2 review

U, G, L, Y, you ain’t got no alibi.  You’re UGLY!

Wow!  What a week.  I can’t even comment much.  The results speak for themselves.  Not only 11 misses, 7 UGLY misses.  And I forgot to pick two games.  These weeks picks were so ugly, you have to tie a pork chop around their neck to [...]
