How much does Coaching have to do with STL superstar teams losing in the playoffs?

I was at the game, and while not an expert on the x's and o's of football like a lot of people on this board neither team could stop the other Nixa just so much bigger on the offensive line they just ran the ball QB and RB weren't stopped all day, think they gained positive yardage on all but 3 rushing plays 2 of which were mishandled snaps they fell on. Nixa couldn't stop Kirkwood's passing game and if it wasn't for the pick 6 right before the half it would have been down to the end back and forth. The pick 6 combined with NIxa taking 8 minutes off the clock to start the 3rd quarter even though they didn't score due to getting behind the chains from a holding penalty put Kirkwood in a huge hole that was to much to overcome. Seemed like the Kirkwood QB had been hit a couple times and rushed the throw just a bit on the pick 6, but he was very good all day and Nixa couldn't cover Kirkwood's receivers. Side note was impressed with #4 for Kirkwood getting injured and coming back in the game to make some huge plays. I don't know what else Kirkwood could have tried from a coaching standpoint as they weren't going to get bigger or stronger during the game. They had a stacked box and 1 on 1 on the receivers most of the game Nixa just overpowered them. From someone who really didn't care about the outcome was very entertaining game with the two contrasting styles.

When Nixa was on defense, the CBs were getting toasted most of the game and It didn't matter if the passes were inside or outside the shoulders of the WRs. Robinson Jr. (K) reminded me of Randy Moss a little bit. He made fantastic catches when he could. I felt like the QB kept tipping his hand with the direct stares where he was going to pass the ball.

Only three Sophomores on the list and one of them is a long snapper so it barely counts. Couzens and Kuhn are going to be a problem on the OL the next couple of years. Interested to see how they do and where they go from here.

Jude Couzens, Soph., Blue Spring South
Kyler Kuhn, Soph., St. Pius X
Jaxon Pollard, Soph., Lansing

I also believe BS South's QB was a JR. Already peeking ahead next year watch out for the Jags and Lee's Summit. Could be really outstanding in 2025.

Pius is deep as it gets. They will be right back in the mix next year and beyond.

No I fixing your statement that he was no doubt going to make that field goal. He had missed one earlier. That is not talking smack on the young man, that was providing context to your post. No more that saying our QB was only 5 for 19 or whatever he was for the game. I know we got away with the offsides call, but we will never know how the game would have ended if the call was made. He may have made it, he may have missed it. There was still plenty of time on the clock and Helias had two timeouts. You can keep taking your pot shots at Helias if it makes you feel betterr, but life is to short for me to keep replying to them.

tried to go pull up the exact scenario and it has interestingly been removed. it has obviously caused quite a stir among some folks lol. Here is what I can tell from the few clips i can find. The ball was on the 5 yd line which means its minimum going to the 2.5 and less than a XP. was it goal to go or would that have been a 1st down i dont know but its clear that shouldnt have happened. the refs this year (from the games ive been to ) have been the worst ive seen in a long time and sadly have had cleaner games in pee wee than some of the shit ive seen

HHS is actually talking smack about a HS kicker missing a 47 yard FG and making a 42 yarder and a 30+.

Back in the late 1970s, GC was a small team in numbers and size but very tough physically. The late Coach Hurst was my favorite teacher and coach. The snake incident on the practice field will always be my favorite memory of Coach Hurst.

Coach Hurst was my seventh grade science teacher after he left GC. Great man, but you didn't want to upset him!
I heard about the snake story and a few Vietnam stories. Good memories.
