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 [...]

Semifinal Football Preview

And here we are.  The last step on the road to the Dome.  Lamar has made their first semifinal.  Can they take the next step like Cassville did last year?  The Wildcats went all the way as an underdog in 2008.  Can they repeat as the front runner?  Webb City brought an end to Kearney’s [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

Lockwood (6-4) at Thayer (8-1)

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 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 [...]
