Brookfield converted a 2 point conversion to win.

Park Hill over Rockhurst. QB Bell is ON FIRE, folks, and they pushed LSN to OT last week. Rock has been near impossible to figure all year perhaps because the bulk of their talent is underclassmen.

Just my $.02.

Which other games could you all see being "shockers" tonight?

South has been clicking for the most part. Liberty doing just enough to hang around.

All finals now in:

Lawson 21, Trenton 14
Lee's Summit West 21, Springfield Kickapoo 10
Blue Springs South 42, Liberty 14
Cole Camp 55, Harrisburg 28
Nevada 42, Harrisonville 21
Brookfield 30, Marceline 29 OT
Excelsior Springs 46, Marshall 0 (bonus/deduction)
Milan 22, Maysville 20 2 OT
Park Hill 42, Rockhurst 35
Park Hill South 50, Staley 40
Pembroke Hill 44, Knob Noster 0 (bonus/deduction)
Raymore-Peculiar 56, Joplin 42
Greenfield 78, Rich Hill 50
DeKalb 50, SW Livingston 22
Lincoln Prep 35, Warrensburg 25

First round standings and stats coming right up!

MSHSAA TV. Is a fraud.

This is always the hardest week to find good games for some reason:

Harrisburg at Cole Camp
Harrisonville at Nevada
Lawson at Trenton
Lee's Summit West at Springfield Kickapoo
Liberty at Blue Springs South
Marceline at Brookfield (very rare Bell Game rematch)
Marshall at Excelsior Springs
Maysville at Milan
Park Hill at Rockhurst
Park Hill South at Staley
Pembroke Hill at Knob Noster
Raymore-Peculiar at Joplin
Rich Hill at Greenfield
SW Livingston at DeKalb
Warrensburg at Lincoln Prep

Just to drop a couple of hints I always like to add a) blowout rematches I think may flip or at least be closer and b) back to back week games. For this winner take all contest there is no "weekly winner" and scores from this round combine with the next two district weeks to determine the final EIGHT advancing to Week 4 (C1-5 quarterfinals, 8M district finals and C6 semifinals). GOOD LUCK everyone. As of now all games will contest on Friday so please put picks in by 7 PM that evening!

345 missed balls and strikes so far in this post season. A fix is available

Week 10
Skyline @ Stockton
Miller @ Marionville
Diamond @ Ash Grove
Cabool @ Sarcoxie
Thayer @ Pierce City
Rich Hill @ Greenfield
Osceola @ College Heights

Hitting coach gone. Pitching coach gone. Bullpen coach is gone. Bench coach is gone. Manager, GM and Mo still with us. Make it all make sense.

The Phillies are in the WS because they threw big money at offense, including LH hitting power bats and a stud pitcher.
Their #1-2 starters are better than St Louis’. Cards haven’t won the NL pennant in 9 years.

MSHSSA website updated.... Have fun... and may odds be ever in your favor.

going down to the wire.

Missouri Military Academy
Van-Far
Princeton
Lone Jack
Malden

MMA and Van-Far are from injuries and low numbers and I assume the other are for the same reason.

MMA was class 2 and the other class 1. I believe all were either on pace or were the last seed in their district.

1. Liberty North
2. Lee's Summit North
3. Blue Valley NW
4. Mill Valley
5. Fort Osage
6. St. Thomas Aquinas
7. Rockhurst
8. St. James
9. Shawnee Mission NW
10. Park Hill South
11. Smithville
12. Blue Valley
13. Liberty
14. Blue Valley West
15. Blue Valley SW

Per scorestream

Polo at Mid Buchanan
Salisbury at Westran

Hearing whispers that MSHSAA is seriously considering going back to 5 Classes plus 8 man for Football.

Possibly the worst 4/5 seed game of the year or at least in Class 2 is Stockton(3-6) hosting Skyline(2-7)

and it honestly seems like a bit of a toss-up with who’s going to win and be the sacrificial lamb for Lamar’s first district game.

A friendly discussion.
A great class, tons of very good teams

In the end I like Blair Oaks against Lafayette County in one Semi and Seneca vs Lamar in the other.

District 1 - Lift for Life
District 2 - Blair Oaks
District 3 - Mountain View Liberty
District 4 - Seneca
District 5 - Lamar
District 6 - St. Michaels
District 7 - Bowling Green
District 8 - Lafayette County

A friendly discussion:
Some districts are loaded, some are awful.
Districts 3 - 6 are laughable honestly. The Lutheran St. Charles / Lutheran North winner may turbo their way to the state title game. St. Charles West lost to Potosi...badly. St. Clair lost to Potosi. Districts 5 and 6 are not good. Reeds Spring not bad, defense is iffy.

In the end...Ritter vs Maryville and Lutheran North vs Reeds Spring.

District 1 - Valle (two top 5 teams)
District 2 - Ritter by 80
District 3 - Lutheran North by a smidge over Lutheran St. Charles
District 4 - Sullivan
District 5 - ??????
District 6 - Reeds Spring
District 7 - Pleasant Hill
District 8 - Maryville (very good district, could go a few ways)

I think it's safe to say the D1, D2, D7, D8 side of the bracket has 10 of the top 12 teams minus LN and LSC.

You are now the lone wolf...............please email me your private info for your random drawing prize. Thanks!

If the football advisory committee/mshsaa/schools don’t put a cap on the size of class 1 schools more will go 8-man. Now, class 1 is the smallest 64 - then class 2,3,4,5 are divided up then the top 32 are class 6. Class 1 is the only one that has 64 teams.

Every time a class 1 school goes to 8-man the next smallest school class 2 team drops down. Higginsville was almost class 1 this year.

So, the disparity between the top and bottom increases. Leading to more of the bottom teams going to 8-man.

I don’t know what the cap should be. Maybe 150 or 180 or 200 - but I think mshsaa et al, should consider it.

This week we have the Bulldogs playing host to the Tigers of Waynesville in the Ozarks “Back to Reality Bowl”

predictions?

Glendale pulls off the upset of the Lakers in overtime

How much are streaming services for the 1v8 district games that sometimes don't even work?
Who does the filming and production of these? I recall many games last year were subpar and/or didn't even work. Is there an effort being made on the part of of the millionares at MSHSAA to remedy this or are they committing fraud by shipping out a product they know won't work sometimes?


How much is the entry into district games vs regular season games?
Does MSHSAA pay the gate workers for district games or do the schools have to fork that over?
