Everyone wants to hate on Joplin, but IMO I thought they looked fine. It is always difficult to tell because coaches are simply keeping it vanilla and getting kids on tape to finalize the preseason depth chart. O line has good size but may be a bit soft. QB has a good arm but was a little off target on some throws. The TE and WRs looked good. Defense gave up some plays to Seneca but still respectable overall. I’ll predict a 3rd place finish in the COC with a ceiling of 2nd and floor of 4th.
WC looked small and slow I think they look terrible in the jamboree every year but by years end, I’m sure they’ll be coached up. Floor 5th and ceiling 3rd.
Seneca looked good. Probably the best of the 4 teams if Class size is considered.
Lamar only had a little over 50 kids suited up. Also not very big size wise. I thought their play was comparable to WC but considering they’re class 2 and not 5, they’ll be just fine.
