BO vs Hallsville

Ahh yes the ol'starts with the youth argument. Sorry man, I know that does help. But it's not 1998 anymore. A lot of schools have adopted the exact same programs. Information is out there at the finger tips of anybody that wants it. A lot of schools have very supportive communities and admin. It's all about the Jimmy & Joes and how they keep producing them. I can safely assume Blair Oaks works very hard to have success across the board. But assuming they just somehow work harder than every other Class 3 or 2 program is comical. A lot of schools just don't have the dudes. Park Hills Central was the prime example of that. The coaching staff had been together a long time, running the same program, before they finally broke through with some superb athletes at the same time(Great Coaching + Great Athletes). That is not uncommon at public schools. What is uncommon, is producing top tier athletes across the board every year. I was just curious as an outsider how that happens.
Only way you get better in football is technique, bigger, stronger and faster. I guess they do it the right way then.

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

Chance Wistrom, the older brother of Grant and Tracey, was head coach at Seneca at that time. Tracey was drafted in the spring 2002 NFL Draft as a tight end out of Nebraska by Tampa Bay.
Been a loooooong time all of a sudden, thanks. Dad and I were down at Webb City for the C4 semi the day Platte County beat Seneca they kept announcing the score said a Wistrom was HC all this fuzzy memory can bring back now LOL.

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).

I had to go back and look at some history ... from 1999-2002, Platte County had to go through the Big 8 Conference three times in four years to get to the state championship game. Aurora in 1999 which won 14-0 at Pirate Stadium (has Platte County been shut out at home since that game?), they beat Kansas City O'Hara in the 2000 semifinals, Carl Junction 36-6 at Bulldog Stadium in 2001 and then the Seneca victory in 2002.
