Surprises of the Season

Down there in BFE it's funny, the Mexican restaurants operate very similar to ancient China in the sense that every 20 years or so a new warlord will come into town and install a new dynasty. That dynasty will rapidly expand to the point that it's infrastructure can no longer support itself, leading to inevitable collapse. Then another dynasty will emerge to fill the power vacuum.

Many of the West Plains metro locals mark the passage of the time by this cycle. "Was that in the time of Primas?" "In the year 13 of the El Charro dynasty..." etc.

We are now currently living in the Age of Los Amigos.
It is the La Fuente dynasty here................

Surprises of the Season

I agree with most of that!

77 played defense most of last year but there was a good rotation due to the number of dudes on that team.

22 would get into space because that's what he was good at. Different kind of runner for sure.

I'd have loved to play Marionville last year to compare notes. I think we all know how that woulda turned out.
Adrian would have been back-to-back champs. Zero doubt Adrian would have run the table last year in class 1. You are absolutely correct on the depth and lack of injuries this year. I had questions about last year's line going into the season but they stepped up big time. Same with this year, which is probably the case every year but they were very solid.

22 was a faster back but he and 33 had the same quality of not letting the first man bring them down. 22 was a horse, too. Thoroughbred vs Clydesdale, I guess.

If you're talking about El Imperial, I heard that place closed. Which is too bad because it was good!

Well, well, well. Look at that TOP THREE!!! Heck the lowly SEC doesnt even make the list until number SIX!! Not even in the TOP FIVE! HA!

2024 reimagined with public/private seperation

Except it really is.

Valle and SV both pull from huge areas (class 4+ and apparently another state in SV's case).

SG public had a good record this year. They got beat 53-0 by SV and Valle both. Ended up 7-5. They're fighting an uphill battle due to Valle skimming the best talent from the entire area. SV's is now doing the same again in Perryville+.

Outside of private schools that area just isnt' very good at football.

See: Adrian 21 SV 0

PS: yes SV won at Valle 24-7
You might be onto something with that talent skimming argument outside of Perryville also having their best season in 60 years..

UnitedHealth Group CEO concedes health system 'does not work as well as it should' following shooting backlash

these dudes have been programmed now. Gonna be tough to get away from the worst health system in the industrialized world.

Israel has a model that works. Why won't it work here?

Because Socialism! Communism! Marxism! Michael McDonald, formerly of the Doobie Brothers! Those are all some scary ass words, dude.

Advisory Board to meet the 19th

That is a good point, you hear from time to time the argument that "you can go to another public school, you just have to pay the tuition". Using that logic, would it be legal for an athlete who lives in Cape boundaries who wants to play for Jackson, to have a Jackson donor pays the Cape student's tuition for him?

Depends. What's his 40 time, height, weight, etc.? If he meets those admission criteria, then it's legal for a donor to pay his tuition.

2024 reimagined with public/private seperation

The bigger problem is the failure of the St. Louis and northern St. Louis suburban public schools. The decline of the Hazelwood schools along with the St. Louis city schools is the problem. That is where all the premier talent comes form. The Metro Catholic schools, Cardinal Ritter, and Lutheran North are the beneficiaries of this.
I remember growing up and the Hazelwood schools, Pattonville, Riverview Gardens, etc..being in the state championship and watching it on a grainy TV set.

Advisory Board to meet the 19th

Public schools can't give scholarships .

If your private school has any kind of scholarship fund or takes money from the diocese to offset cost for some kids, you shouldn't be competing against public schools that cannot.

I think it would have been a much more competitive class 1 championship game last year! Although I do think Adrian getting bumped to class 2 last year was very beneficial to this years team.

I wonder if that #77 has any college offers.

He was very solid defensively this year ( class 1 D player of the year)
