Who “won” your jamboree?

Liberty HS Jamboree:
Ranked in order of performance I was there to witness.
1) Liberty
2) Smithville
4) Park Hill / Blue Springs South

Liberty looked explosive on D and Offense was much improved passing and consistent rush from multiple backs. Smithville is solid again with new QB but disciplined D returning many starters and contributors.

Park Hill was sloppy and very weak on the offensive end, plus defensive blown assignments. Blue Springs South is more athletic than almost each team but no bearing on coverages, offensive execution, etc. Time will tell with all of these teams but as per usual the teams who are ready for playoffs are crisp at a Jamboree, which Smithville and Liberty both were crisp.
I heard Smithville gave up quite a few scores

Week 1 COC picks

Webb City @ Lebanon -- Webb City... Webb is going to be "down" this year, but Lebanon had a big injury at their Jambo. COC experience wins here. I do feel like Lebanon could upset, but I think even a down Webb group rolls here.
Just heard their QB tore his ACL in the jambo. That's tough. No clue what the backup is like, but would certainly think that gives Webb the advantage.

Doc guys .....Forever!!

I am back in state doing some architecture work and decided to check in on my boys.

Pretty long scroll to get to the greatest thread of all time in MoSports history. WTH Bosko... what have you (besides eating) and Drunk Joe been doing ?

Did i miss anything the last few years?
Holy moly! (Hmmmm. Can I make that "my thing"?) Stef is BACK!!! As the first Honorary Doc Guy, I wouldn't have that title without you, Stef! Let's get the making fun of Bosko started! I mean witty banter. Just witty banter

Week 1 COC picks

Willard @ Ozark — Willard. Yuck X 2

Carthage @ Waynesville — Carthage. By as many as they want. Carthage is going to be a handful. I don't think anyone knows what Waynesville is doing in the COC, including Waynesville. They've had one winning season since 2011.

Joplin @ Kickapoo — Joplin. The Eagles lost a lot, but they have some really good individual players returning, especially on defense, and they had some key freshmen play big varsity minutes last year.

Neosho @ Glendale — Glendale. Actually playing clean football and not the nonsense they've done in the past will help. Kickoffs, extra points, punts, etc. If they have any sense they'll ask at least one kid to play on both sides of the ball, something they haven't done in a decade.

Webb City @ Lebanon — Lebanon. Webb gets CLOCKED on the road. This will be similar to week 1 at Nixa two years ago. Stamp it.

Republic @ Nixa — Nixa.
Ditto. Saved me a bunch of fat fingered typing. Set the over/under on the Glen_ale v Wil_cat game at 100. No d in that one.

STL Today Large and Small class 2024 COMPLETE Top 10s

Only reason I can think why STL Today would rank Hillsboro, Seckman, Summit, and St. Dominic is because of their records from last year. Summit lost a lot of senior impact players as did Hillsboro and St. Dominic. Seckman's got some pieces back, but you can't take them seriously with the schedules they've played the last handful of seasons despite all of the wins they've racked up. Leaving Kirkwood and Eureka off the list is truly baffling.

Thursday games 8/29

I have contacted scorestream to update the start dates and times for the games starting on Thursday. Out of all of those, 6 of them still have to be moved. From my experience of contacting scorestream they are usually quick to answer and change those dates. I will check again on Wednesday to make sure they got moved.

As always track all of the games live on bluemonkeyonline.com

According to MSHSAA the Maryville-BO game kicks at 5:30 PM so that is our opening week deadline for FRIDAY entries. As of now all games are being played on that date (the weather looks FANTASTIC, by the way) so the full scoreboard and stats (will be a late one as I am attending the Kearney-Fort game) will appear that night.

GOOD LUCK everyone!

Mowestdad is right MSHSAA switched the venue and KN no home games until Week 4 vs. Northeast. If any of you want to change your pick (I will reverse it on the list in a bit) please do so and let me know you made that change! Sorry about that likely a "one off".............
