The season will be here before we know it. What teams should be at the top this year in each class based on the class they were in last year? Who’s close to moving up or down? Who are some key returning players?

What if MSHSAA didn’t change the Classification in the off-season, What Would the District Champions would look like?

I made Class 6 4 Team districts since it’s make more sense. I prefer going back to the old Classification but tweak it by making Class 6 42 and splitting Classes 1-5 Evenly

Class 1 (54) 82-206
D1- Portageville or Thayer
D2- Scott City or St Vincent
D3- South Shelby
D4- Tipton or Westran
D5- Marionville
D6- Adrian
D7- East Buchanan or North Platte
D8- Marceline or Milan

Class 2 (54) 211-344
D1-Valle or Central (New Madrid)
D2- Borgia or Lift for Life
D3- Bowling Green or Centralia
D4 Blair Oaks
D5- Ava
D6- Lamar or Butler
D7- Lafayette County
D8- Mid- Buchanan

Class 3 (55) 345- 569
D1-Park Hills or Ste Genevieve
D2- Lutheran North
D3- Lutheran St Charles or Orchard Farm
D4- Boonville or Moberly
D5- St Clair or Sullivan
D6- Seneca or Mt Vernon
D7- Odessa, Pleasant Hill, or St Pius X (KC)

Class 4 (54) 570- 969
D1- Hillsboro
D2- Rockwood Summit
D3- Cardinal Ritter
D4- Holt, Parkway North or Warrenton

D8- Kearney or Smithville

Class 5 (54) 970- 1339-1799
D1- Jackson
D2- Eureka or Lafayette (Wildwood)
D3- Francis Howell or MICDS
D4 Ft Zumwalt North or St Dominic
D5- Lebanon
D6- Carthage, Republic, or Webb City
D7- Grain Valley or Fort Osage
D8 Platte County or Oak Park

Class 6 (32) 1344-1799
D1- Seckman
D2- CBC
D3- Desmet

So if Carthage wins tonight the way I see it both Grain Valley or PC would come to Carthage.

If Webb should win Grain Valley would come to Webb, but Webb would go to PC?

In true Trump fashion, ol' Petey is a no show for a debate!!

Which COC teams remain after this week?

Joplin (7-3) @ Nixa (10-0) -------- Nixa... Potentially a good game.
Republic (9-2) @ Lebanon (10-0) --------- Republic... Physicality wins out in this one, but the Jackets are a tough matchup for the Tigers.
Carthage (7-4) @ Webb City (8-2) -------- Webb... Carthage is ALOT better, but you gotta give the revenge game at home to the Cards.
Carl Junction (3-8) @ Nevada (8-2) ------ Nevada... I actually think it will be closer than anticipated, but I'll take the Tigers.

Is an Offensive Lineman. Is this a 1st for any conference?

He spoke for Trump at the GOP convention.
If he isn’t embarrassed to admit the error of his ways, why are flag waving Trumpers still refusing to admit they are conned?

“There are a lot of things I got wrong,” he admitted to the magazine. “It was crazier than I thought. It was more dangerous than I thought. They couldn’t get the most basic pieces of the government to work. So that was — I think that part was maybe worse than even my low expectations.”

I like Coach Jasper and seems he has righted the ship here at the end of the season. Nixa got ‘em in the first meeting but this time Jasper has Renfro back. I’ll be a homer and take Joplin by 3 in a game I think will come down to the wire.

Two will face off Friday (Cap City and Helias Catholic). How far will they all go?

I think this teacher and her "other job" was discussed on a previous thread.

At least this would be somewhat affordable compared to what Missouri charges for access to games. I understand that Iowa has all these games at the same site which makes it a little easier, but still something MSHAA should consider for semi-finals and finals. It's at least affordable and more in line with what MSHSAA charges for other state competitions.

The IHSSN is charging $9.99 plus tax to watch each individual game, or you can purchase a state football tournament pass for $18.99 plus tax. The latter option gives you access to all 14 semifinal matchups and all seven championship games while allowing two concurrent livestreams and 30 days of unlimited viewing.

Larry Burchett after 50 years of coaching has retired. Man that’s a lot of kids he had the pleasure of making better in life and as a person.

If my name was Mo, I would:
1. Sign the Japanese pitcher
2. Sign Ohtani
3. Trade 2 position players for another starter.
4. Tough it out in 2024 using our young pitchers until Ohtani can throw in 2025.
5. That’s all

Fired Ross. Hired Counsell away from Milwaukee and paying him a boat load of money.

The latest from the disguised roamer of the Central Michigan sideline…


1. He has a registered LLC in Montana with his name and Michigan Running Back Blake Corum’s named listed as owners. Corum says he has no business relationship with the man.

2. The HOA where Stalions lives in his $485,000 home n Michigan filed a complaint against him because there were vacuum cleaners piled up on his front porch and a repair shop is being run out of his house.

3. Bahahaha

Why on earth are MLB teams using "bullpen starts" in the playoffs and now the World Series?!!!
If you don't have 4 starters that can go out there and give you 5 or 6 innings in the playoffs and World Series things have gone plumb crazy!
Bob Gibson has to be rollin over in his grave!
