And then they burn you with that speedy RB, he was terrific! Will be surprised if PC loses this year.
How does he burn you if the QB doesn’t have time to give him the ball???

Seems 13 different defensive coaches tried to play conventional football against PC and none of them were close to successfull

Only chance is to go aggressive big time , I mean Webb gave up 35 points doing it the way everyone does,,,at some point it’s time to play something different

I heard a lot about PCs offense but I was equally if not more impressed with their defense. It was apparent to me early in the first quarter that they were probably going to shut out Webb city. To be fair Webb city probably didn’t belong in the quarters but still I haven’t seen a team shut down Webbs offense like that in a really long time even nixa earlier this year.

Offensively they seemed a bit similar to Nixa in that they could run or throw and even if you somehow managed to get them in a 3rd and forever situation they would get whatever they needed to move the sticks. Just a team functioning at a very high level. I was really impressed with them.
As stated many times this year Platte County, Kearney and St. Pius X all have special squads. Hard to imagine PC playing better than that Pius game they were beyond the real deal.

They have a great QB and they spread you out. Big target for a TE and speedy receivers. If you play a soft zone like MICDS did against Smithville in 2021, they will carve you up like what happened in that semifinal game. Gotta play physical!
Yea might as well jam every receiver at the line of scrimmage and send 7 guys every play , get some solid hits on their QB. Maybe slow him down

As a Kearney fan I would say we missed out on probably the best game of the season that we didn't play them. I honestly don't know we would beat them even knowing we have the better D. They have a QB that can do it all get him slowed down will be a huge key. But they have multiple backs and receivers that can execute at a high level. Added bonus they as in the core of the team is all JR's so if you can't get them this year next year will be ugly. Still can't believe the Suburban Conference didn't schedule these two been playing each other for the last 15-20 yrs. I would bet the house on KHS and PC on the schedule next year.
2025 Marriott - Utz will be an even better QB-TE combo than (HUGE mouthful here) 2017 Staley.

How was the PC strength of Schedule for the regular season. MICDS played LN and DeSmet with out Gould at QB (Tommy Johns). Not sure if that would have made a difference, but it is notable. The rest of MICDS schedule isn’t all that tough.
SOS was not all that good but that may be the reason they look so fresh and healthy down this stretch.

Tell me about Platte County

I will take the last question all the seating (old Arrowhead Stadium individual seats) is on one side but they made a little gated hill behind the visitor sideline which will no doubt be packed.

The place is a bit tight with narrow walkways. Brand new stadium scoreboard plus about the best HS band you will ever hear!

Concessions are OK and they do a good job moving folks along.
to me concessions were cheap but i just bought drinks i think 2 waters and a gatorade was $4
