Class 3 Updated Playoff Projections (11-25)

Semifinals
Lift for Life 21 vs. Seneca 42
Blair Oaks
42 vs. Maryville 14

State Championship
Seneca 42 vs. Blair Oaks 28

State Champion - Seneca


This one has been expected basically since week 2 or 3. I'm not sure we really have a good idea about who the real favorite is between BO and Seneca but I'm sure we are all interested to see how it goes. They have both steamrolled their competition other than BO against LN but I don't think that tells us much about how they will do against Seneca.

If you think MO has a STL privates problem..............

Only a St. Louis Media Hype problem. Looking objectively at this point using Calprep Ratings (Don't throw them out, they are pretty accurate)

Class 6 Only 3 of the Top 10 are from St. Louis
Class 5 Only 2 of the Top 10 are from St. Louis
Class 4 4 of the Top 10. (I disagree with Calpreps and think it is probably two.)

And when they have a team they think is #1, my God, they are unbeatable. LOL
Regardless how anything goes in any class the next 12 days my #1 takeaway from this 2024 season will be STL publics toppling their C5 and C6 favorites in successive weeks!

It seems absurd

I wish mshsaa would just set a specific enrollment for class 1. I really think last year's Adrian, Cole Camp, team's being Class 2 seemed excessive and Thayer, Sarcoxie, South Callaway, East Buch, Sherwood, should have been class 1 this year. As of right now schools between 165-175 are kinda in limbo not really knowing till August if they are classified as 1 or 2 by then it may be too late to set up a coop with a smaller school. By setting a number for class 1 whether it is 180, 185, or 199 schools know in the spring what their classification is. This is not a complaint in my opinion just a more efficient way of doing things.
so why should we treat them different than any other bubble teams?
so many teams bounce between classes

Class 2 Updated Playoff Projections (11-25)

Semifinals
Bowling Green 22 (Projected to be Valle) vs. Lamar 34
Fair Grove
35 (Projected to be Lafayette County) vs. South Shelby 17 (Projected to be Mid-Buchanan)

State Championship
Lamar 28 vs. Fair Grove 21 (was projected to be Valle over LC)

State Champion - Lamar


This one was definitely the hardest class to predict this past weekend. The projections were wrong for three of the four but so were most of us on our actual picks I believe. If you would've told me halfway through the year that Lamar would be expected to be the state champion going into the semifinals, I probably would not have believed you. Interested to see how this one plays out!

Class 1 Updated Playoff Projections (11-25)

Semifinals
St. Vincent 20 vs. Adrian 28
Tipton
28 vs. Penney 24

State Championship
Adrian 35 vs. Tipton 19 (Increased spread from last week)

State Champion - Adrian


The projections for class 1 have been pretty accurate so far. At least when it comes to final outcome of the games. Adrian has been projected as the champ for awhile now but obviously the semifinal game this week should be a good one. Both of them should really...
Tipton-Penney is a tricky one but the Adrian-SV winner is the definite favorite. See other semis that may turn out to be the real title games, too.

LN welcome to Kearney

🤣🤣🤣

If I didnt watch LN play and only listened to the STL media I would think LN is a world beater.

This really is a game that’s been two years in the works.

You have LN who is arguably the best private school in the state of MO with crazy amounts of athletes.

On the other side you have Karney who is a defending state champion and has literally grown arse men all over the damn field. I was talking with a buddy of mine, Andy who coaches hs football and Karney has an it factor I’ll list out.

State champion javelin Thrower Theo grace
State champion wrestler as a freshman Karter Temple
State champion thrower Tyrus Smith
Sub 11 sec 100M D1 commit WR/FS Grant Noland
All state OT Joe Schranz
Two all state defensive Tackle genetic freaks Isaac and Mason Beaver
A team of returning state champion football players
Likely all state Aiden airianno Strong safety
Two workhorse running backs that can play on any team in the metro.

This is not an underdog story, Kearney has a better coaching staff and the fastest more physical team in the state. Kearney could turbo these guys from what I’ve seen.

Seen 7 Karney games and 4 LN games and these teams are not equals.
Hey your writing skills are improving from F to D- you spelled Kearney right twice congrats!

Tell me about Platte County

Look Dr will have his kids ready to play if they can slow the PC offense down they have the athletes to keep this game close. I just think PC is on a mission to win and this is one step in the way of doing that.
He will give those kids the fiery Bo Schembechler speech of all time Saturday before leaving the locker room..................
