Week 1 COC picks

Are the OC schools ready for the physicality of the COC? Just a distant question...............
Based on the previous times I’ve seen the old OC schools play (Lebanon & Glendale along with Parkview back in the day), the answer is no. I think Lebanon was the most physical out of the ones I saw, but it’s been well documented how they haven’t been able to get over the hump against Carthage and Webb in the quarterfinals.

Week 1 COC picks

Willard @ Ozark -- Ozark...Willard lost a ton, and Ozark is ALOT better this year. Still not a top tier team, but good enough to beat Willard
Carthage @ Waynesville -- Carthage... By a lot. Waynesville will be lucky to win a game this year, despite them returning starters.
Neosho @ Glendale -- Neosho... They will be better than last year (at least offensively). Glendale will still be fresh to the new system, and I imagine that inexperience will show through.
Joplin @ Kickapoo -- Joplin..Just look at the history of these two teams, and you should have your answer. Plus Kickapoo didn't look great in their Jambo. Jasper is a great coach, and I'm sure he will have Joplin playing better than expected. Despite their losses from last year.
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.
Republic @ Nixa -- Nixa... I don't think this one will be as much of a blowout as everyone is predicting. Republic always plays them well upfront and they have their entire Dline back and all but 2 of their Oline back this year. Nixa has everything to lose and nothing to gain, if they win, they should have. If they lose then everyone will be talking about whether they are truly worthy of all the hype surrounding them this year. They are a great team, but just like in years past I don't think Republic is shaking in their boots too much. It's just too bad this isn't a late-season matchup. Regardless, I think Nixa gets it done.

JUST FOR FUN.

Honestly, lets see how well Lutheran North does this week as a measuring stick to see how close or not some of so called "powerhouses of Missouri" would do against top opponents in the nation when they travel to Alabama this week.

Best guess is that it won't be in the same planet of competition.
Phenix City Central 61, Pinson Valley 14. That'll give everyone an idea..............

Week 1 COC picks

CJ's out, so now I'm in ... strange schedule to start the year, none of the west division are at home, not one close game to drive to Friday night:

Willard @ Ozark -- Ozark
Carthage @ Waynesville -- Carthage
Neosho @ Glendale -- Neosho
Joplin @ Kickapoo -- Joplin
Webb City @ Lebanon -- Webb City
Republic @ Nixa -- Nixa

Week 1 COC picks

I won't track...but at least we can banter, right?

Willard @ Ozark
Carthage @ Waynesville
Neosho @ Glendale
Joplin @ Kickapoo
Webb City @ Lebanon
Republic @ Nixa

Feels good to have some football to talk about and look forward to.
- Ozark, but this one feels like a toss up. Ozark gets the nod as they don’t have a new head coach.
- Carthage, with hopefully a turbo clock in the second half.
- Neosho, again feels like a toss up but Neosho doesn’t have a new head coach.
- Joplin, I think they’ll be better than what’s been predicted for them this year.
- Lebanon, feels like everything is right for them to get this one. Week 1, at home, with a lot of unknowns about Webb. Probably the best game of the week, imo.
- Nixa, with RepMo getting rudely reminded that last year is over.
