You have to wonder with their current success are they going to get players moving into Nixa. Similar to what has happened to Webb for years.

No sir those of us with real town pride don't want to be like Webb, I hate the recruiting they did understanding their are some legit move ins but there was also a lot of recruiting and I prefer to watch local talent earn the wins not have it recruited in. But to each theor own you can want what you want that's what makes America great

Ok fair enough. I am sure if your team/town was winning at the Webb level you would be criticizing their "recruiting".

I know that’s what a lot of people want to see but I think that’s unlikely. Will Webb football be what it was in the 2000-2010s almost no chance of that. Even with roderique I don’t think that would be the case. Not unless they can convince a few hundred kids who don’t play football to leave the school so they can drop a classification.

Two bad losses while abnormally short handed isn’t the end of everything. Now if losing these games becomes a trend we’re seeing when the field is covered with skilled experienced athletes that’s a different matter but it’s not where we’re at today.

Today they are just struggling and everyone is enjoying seeing Webb city be legit bad at football for the first time any of us can remember.

Mt. Vernon starting to play better. First few games were rough. Them and Lamar next week should be a good game.

I am with Mr. Hat here. I get why others are giddy over watching them struggle, but I have nothing but respect for the run they have had. Every school that hates them wishes their school was like them. It is no doubt going to be an interesting story to follow.

Yeah I’ll admit it nixa deserves this hype this year.

I talked to a guy from nixa at half, he said most of what makes this team so brutal will be back next year but he’s not sure they will be anywhere close to this level after that.

This is a nice post . Just my opinion, but history tells us dynasties run their course and come to an end. Back in the day, I remember it being Jeff City. Where have they been? Camdenton not as dominant as they once were. Joplin/Parkwood had a decent run. (And I’m talking public schools primarily). Any way, I’m thinking they have next year to rebound (quarter appearance min). If not, a 7 win or less season and it teeters on becoming the new norm.
It is my belief that there were games WC was not the best team on the field during their run, but they won, not because they thought they could, but because they knew they would. That played in their opponents minds too. It was an expected outcome. That is gone.

Others are welcome to knock Webb and/or kick them when down. Hey I get it they've knocked the crap out of so many SWMO FB programs over the years................rivals etc. they have been such with my Alma Mater Kearney but I have nothing but pure, flat out respect for them and everything they've done for MO HSFB over the decades. Yeah I'm the sappy type who roots for all the kids but, my goodness, they are gonna recover and I cannot wait to see them do it!

I would say that is a fair assessment. WP cannot have many injuries or their season is over.

They don't play each other until the end of the regular season too. Will be interesting to see if that game means much in the district standings. Home field advantage could be on the line for districts. That is a pretty big deal. I could easily see this being a situation where one teams wins in the regular season and the other team takes the district game.

1. He sounds like Buckmaster. He was a great coach but some kids didn't want to play for him. A kid would either love him or hate him

2. WP and CJ will play in the district title game. WP has a better first string. I would say CJ has more depth. Only a few kids are playing both ways for CJ right now. The game may be decided by how many injuries WP has at that time.
