C5 D8 championship St. Pius X at Platte County TONIGHT!

That team was an absolute buzz saw, easily one of the best teams I’ve seen from out of my area.
They seemed, though, to leave a lot of it on that field. I went to the title game in CoMo the Falcons were very flat that first half but pulled it out at the last second. To this day not sure I've ever yelled louder than that play.

Could see it either way. Carthage and Webb both like to control the clock on offense. Haven’t seen PC or Pius play but both have obviously had a good years. It will be tough for either Carthage or Webb to make the trip up to the KC area for a late November game. One of the coldest games I’ve been at was Carthage at Staley in 2017, the wind out of the north that day was absolutely brutal.
I was there yes those visitor stands can be very brutal as was this game but be assured Staley will never field a team like that again.

that's actually where i think the mismatch comes into play the most. Webb struggled with GV, you take away the drive killing false starts and the huge mistake by the officiating crew that stole all the momentum and gave WC a first down near the redzone that turned into a touchdown and that game probably has another ending. GV was a one-dimensional run only offense and that is what Webb and Carthage see down in SWMO is a healthy dose of Run. They have not seen the passing games to the level they will verse either of the D8 teams.
Both JR QBs look college ready today frankly.

Since Webb would have only had one home game (PC and Pius would both have 2 home games)

Would the qtr final not be at Webb??

I don't think so, neither of the D8 teams are in the same level as PC or Pius
