Curious, what is the best game to pay for this Friday and Saturday?

I look forward to seeing the talent on the field ... I have the utmost respect for the program and the school since I was treated extremely well by everyone when covering games there in 1999 and 2002. Have never had a negative experience with Platte County High School.

Last time I was in Platte City was June 18-20, 2021, my youngest was playing a USSSA Tournament and we played one game Friday night at Platte Ridge Park and then two on Saturday. It was one of those KC Sports 64 team events where you had to go 3-0 or 2-1 to advance to Sunday. My son, knowing that the College World Series had just started in Omaha, knew that if we didn't advance to Sunday, instead of driving back to Carl Junction, we would wake up Sunday and head to Omaha. After they lost Friday night at Platte Ridge, we got to parking lot and he whispered to me, "Omaha is starting to look really good about now."

Sunday morning we stopped at Dairy Queen in Platte City for breakfast, my son noticed the Platte County High School logo is very similar to our favorite college baseball program ... So let's just say if you see someone at Webb City Friday night standing in the northeast corner (my spot as a neutral observer) of the stadium wearing Oklahoma State apparel, it's kind of a dead giveaway.

Lots of family etc. ties to Platte City not gonna bore everyone with it all just suffice to say I agree with you wholeheartedly it is a very nice town and the school and fans, by and large, are very knowledgeable and respectful.

This is a (real) fun bunch to watch and keep in mind as you witness this one Friday night the core of this team is JUNIORS so they really are one year ahead of the curve (remind me a lot of 2002 Kearney).

Platte County is all different from those "muscle" Sherman years. Spread offense with perhaps the best gunslinger (certainly on par with Mitchell 2016) they've ever fielded. Like the aforementioned who became a starting catcher at OU Rocco looks every bit the baseball part. The huge key I saw last week is the supporting cast. Not sure how anyone will be able to hold that offense below the 30s the rest of the way but that is, as the old old saying goes, why they play the game.

Greg Jones HC with Logan Minnick OC ?
UCM's defense hasn't been consistent, but they've been winning in the two seasons he has been there.

Mel's recruiting model was easily replicated by his proteges until the portal came into being.
That being said here is Wright's record 65 wins, 5 playoff berths, and 4 MIAA titles in 7 seasons.

If this were 5 years ago would entertain this.

Watched Nixa at Webb and got to see the future Olympian and NFL lineman.

Proximity Friday is the Webb game … have not had a chance to watch Platte County in person in a long time. Covered Aurora at Platte County in 1999, saw them at the dome in 2000, covered the semifinal at Carl Junction in 2001 and the following week watched them win another title and 2002 covered the Seneca at Platte County game where they held a 2,600 yard running back to under 50 yards.

Have always had respect for the program, Coach Sherman was very polite and professional all the times we spoke and enjoyed conversations with him the Dome. He was one of many coaches who would come up to the press box and talk with the media and when interviews were done, he would hold court and share some stories.

Chip Sherman and Fred Bouchard were both coaches from other parts of the state that Anvil Welch and I would enjoy catching up with when we were in St. Louis for championship weekend.

Last Friday had to be beyond freaky for Chip, though, as he is now an assistant at St. Pius X.
