STL Today Large and Small class 2024 COMPLETE Top 10s

Only reason I can think why STL Today would rank Hillsboro, Seckman, Summit, and St. Dominic is because of their records from last year. Summit lost a lot of senior impact players as did Hillsboro and St. Dominic. Seckman's got some pieces back, but you can't take them seriously with the schedules they've played the last handful of seasons despite all of the wins they've racked up. Leaving Kirkwood and Eureka off the list is truly baffling.

Thursday games 8/29

I have contacted scorestream to update the start dates and times for the games starting on Thursday. Out of all of those, 6 of them still have to be moved. From my experience of contacting scorestream they are usually quick to answer and change those dates. I will check again on Wednesday to make sure they got moved.

As always track all of the games live on bluemonkeyonline.com

NWCMO Pick Em Week 1

WELCOME BACK! As previously posted 23 games are featured as many schools, this cycle, did a great job scheduling competitive openers:

Cole Camp at Salisbury
Fayette at Carrollton
Gallatin at Maysville

According to MSHSAA the Maryville-BO game kicks at 5:30 PM so that is our opening week deadline for FRIDAY entries. As of now all games are being played on that date (the weather looks FANTASTIC, by the way) so the full scoreboard and stats (will be a late one as I am attending the Kearney-Fort game) will appear that night.

GOOD LUCK everyone!

Mowestdad is right MSHSAA switched the venue and KN no home games until Week 4 vs. Northeast. If any of you want to change your pick (I will reverse it on the list in a bit) please do so and let me know you made that change! Sorry about that likely a "one off".............

Week 1 COC picks

Willard @ Ozark — Willard. Yuck X 2

Carthage @ Waynesville — Carthage. By as many as they want. Carthage is going to be a handful. I don't think anyone knows what Waynesville is doing in the COC, including Waynesville. They've had one winning season since 2011.

Joplin @ Kickapoo — Joplin. The Eagles lost a lot, but they have some really good individual players returning, especially on defense, and they had some key freshmen play big varsity minutes last year.

Neosho @ Glendale — Glendale. Actually playing clean football and not the nonsense they've done in the past will help. Kickoffs, extra points, punts, etc. If they have any sense they'll ask at least one kid to play on both sides of the ball, something they haven't done in a decade.

Webb City @ Lebanon — Lebanon. Webb gets CLOCKED on the road. This will be similar to week 1 at Nixa two years ago. Stamp it.

Republic @ Nixa — Nixa.

Week 1 COC picks

Are the OC schools ready for the physicality of the COC? Just a distant question...............
Based on the previous times I’ve seen the old OC schools play (Lebanon & Glendale along with Parkview back in the day), the answer is no. I think Lebanon was the most physical out of the ones I saw, but it’s been well documented how they haven’t been able to get over the hump against Carthage and Webb in the quarterfinals.

Week 1 COC picks

Willard @ Ozark -- Ozark...Willard lost a ton, and Ozark is ALOT better this year. Still not a top tier team, but good enough to beat Willard
Carthage @ Waynesville -- Carthage... By a lot. Waynesville will be lucky to win a game this year, despite them returning starters.
Neosho @ Glendale -- Neosho... They will be better than last year (at least offensively). Glendale will still be fresh to the new system, and I imagine that inexperience will show through.
Joplin @ Kickapoo -- Joplin..Just look at the history of these two teams, and you should have your answer. Plus Kickapoo didn't look great in their Jambo. Jasper is a great coach, and I'm sure he will have Joplin playing better than expected. Despite their losses from last year.
Webb City @ Lebanon -- Webb City... Webb is going to be "down" this year, but Lebanon had a big injury at their Jambo. COC experience wins here. I do feel like Lebanon could upset, but I think even a down Webb group rolls here.
Republic @ Nixa -- Nixa... I don't think this one will be as much of a blowout as everyone is predicting. Republic always plays them well upfront and they have their entire Dline back and all but 2 of their Oline back this year. Nixa has everything to lose and nothing to gain, if they win, they should have. If they lose then everyone will be talking about whether they are truly worthy of all the hype surrounding them this year. They are a great team, but just like in years past I don't think Republic is shaking in their boots too much. It's just too bad this isn't a late-season matchup. Regardless, I think Nixa gets it done.

JUST FOR FUN.

Honestly, lets see how well Lutheran North does this week as a measuring stick to see how close or not some of so called "powerhouses of Missouri" would do against top opponents in the nation when they travel to Alabama this week.

Best guess is that it won't be in the same planet of competition.
Phenix City Central 61, Pinson Valley 14. That'll give everyone an idea..............
