Scoring on 2nd team

Hallsville has pretty much abandoned the run, and using a short passing ball control offense. Hallsville QB is very good at throwing the ball away while being chased

Little over 5 minutes left..

Ctown went 3n Out on their first Drive. Webb drove down the field and ending with a passing td.

Webb forced punt and took it down the field

Hearing a player that had gotten ejected from the previous game played in the next game, which was against Camdenton. Anyone know anything about this? Supposedly brought to MSHSAA's attention and they ruled Helias didn't have to forfeit.

Hard to find what I thought would be or had the potential to be competitive games this week.

OK board members, last night was having a phone conversation with Anvil Welch talking about tonight's scheduled of games ... conversation mentioned Carl Junction at Bolivar, he asked who was coaching Bolivar now, I said Jamie LaSalle. Anvil and I trade a couple of stories about covering various games of his over the years and then we got ourselves confused about his coaching timeline and where he was at.

So a little help please and keep in mind, we were trying to figure out where he was at as a football head coach, its possible he has been places as an assistant and that's where we were losing track of where he has been ... Anvil has Jamie starting in Fair Grove in 1999 as head coach and there through 2001. Then 2002 was a mystery to both of us before he was at Greenfield 2003-2010. Then 2011 was unknown, 2012-2015 Marionville (I know he was in Marionville in 2015 because I covered Marionville at Lockwood on Oct. 30, 2015 in a playoff game). Anvil remembers him being at East Newton but couldn't remember when and what capacity.

I said something about being at Miller before Bolivar and he said he had no idea he was at Miller. So any help please would be appreciated for us old guys who's memory is starting to slip.

Where's everyone going this week?? I will be relaxing on the couch (sofa?) watching a game on the TV and a different one on my phone. Starting to get too chilly for this guy to go to a mediocre game so I'll wait for the playoffs/District games

Just saw where the Marshfield product is transfering to a prep school in Arkansas.
Have these transfers over the years really ended up helping kids?
Can you guys have imagined bailing on your school/buddies for your senior year?

A little late but this is what the coaches feel who is best.

An Out of State Traveler named Bosko, questioned after they found an exploded toilet at the Doniphan Roadside Pecan Store bathrooms.

Never heard of it until I saw they had a forfeit football game with Lift For Life Friday night. Anyone know what sports they will have besides football?
