We have moved twice with school aged kids, and will once more before the youngest graduates. We have and will consider all of those, in some degree or another. Nothing against Joplin, Neosho, or CJ but if you’re moving to the Joplin area with kids and you don’t choose Webb or Carthage I’m just not sure you’re doing your research. It’s the same with Nixa/Ozark/Republic in the Springfield area (although I’d give Strafford and L-R a reasonable nod as well).

I can’t recall specific scenarios, but I do remember some local “moves” in Webbs past that certainly raised some eyebrows. I’m sure the Carthage folks could speak far more accurately than I could on those. I’m pretty sure that’s the sort of thing Cards is referring to.

you may want to consider our school district because we have better MAP scores, more teachers per student and community that supports our education system. and BTW, we have the best HS FB coach in the state. you should give us a look”. That is a positive for any community. I think that happens in Republic and Nixa now.

They might have if nixa had hired someone internal instead of a big name with a resume.

I hate to go down this rabbit hole, but as an admitted outsider and somewhat unbiased poster, what recruiting? That is against the rules and any violation should be punished. Where’s the objective evidence? But if that means coworker Joe knows Fred’s house is for sale and says, “My kids go to WC and I think you may want to consider our school district because we have better MAP scores, more teachers per student and community that supports our education system. and BTW, we have the best HS FB coach in the state. you should give us a look”. That is a positive for any community. I think that happens in Republic and Nixa now.

Hahahaha if you only knew.
1. GV is not my hometown, and my hometown couldn't recruit if they wanted to ain't no jobs there.
2. GV didn't recruit Caldarella he was a GV kid whose parents moved to BS for his sister's sports and then moved back home once she graduated. FYI younger brother is still in GV schools.

No glass here buddy

I mean question your own integrity not mine. I call shit like I see it and have pissed off several local coaches over the years because I don't dick ride.

You have to wonder with their current success are they going to get players moving into Nixa. Similar to what has happened to Webb for years.

No sir those of us with real town pride don't want to be like Webb, I hate the recruiting they did understanding their are some legit move ins but there was also a lot of recruiting and I prefer to watch local talent earn the wins not have it recruited in. But to each theor own you can want what you want that's what makes America great

Ok fair enough. I am sure if your team/town was winning at the Webb level you would be criticizing their "recruiting".

I know that’s what a lot of people want to see but I think that’s unlikely. Will Webb football be what it was in the 2000-2010s almost no chance of that. Even with roderique I don’t think that would be the case. Not unless they can convince a few hundred kids who don’t play football to leave the school so they can drop a classification.

Two bad losses while abnormally short handed isn’t the end of everything. Now if losing these games becomes a trend we’re seeing when the field is covered with skilled experienced athletes that’s a different matter but it’s not where we’re at today.

Today they are just struggling and everyone is enjoying seeing Webb city be legit bad at football for the first time any of us can remember.
