Thoughts?

Any insight from someone who actually saw the game?

Thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and your wife last night. Hope to run into you both again. All the best to the Flyers this season.

Greater powers at work than high school coaches? Joplin 35 WEBB 28....

I personally dont mind listening to Kelvin Belcher but I can't stand that Bobby Mandis guys.

first game of the season anything can happen

Bill O’Brien passed away last Friday of a heart attack while working at Walmart. He was a huge Lamar Tiger Fan rarely missing a game. In fact just that morning he had posted about how it was the home opener and had a Lamar shirt on from several years ago. He had a son, Billy O’Brien who played. He was #74 graduating with the class of 2014. Billy and his dad both were known to be quite mouthy and I really think both of them used to post back then, but Bill was a great guy who always made you laugh! My son was his age so there’s a lot of memories playing football, baseball, and basketball since grade school. Just asking for prayers for his family on the sudden loss.

Anybody have score?

Who ya got MoSports posters??
(Created my own fake point spread)

Rockhurst at Blue Springs (-3)

Joplin at Webb City (-13)

Cardinal Ritter (-4) vs Lutheran North
Neutral Field

Fort Zumwalt North (-6) at Fort Zumwalt West

Are there any games I missed? What other games are you excited about?

Mookie Cooper, the best player in the St Louis Area and Ohio State commit is enrolling in Pattonville, leaving Trinity. Article says he’ll be able to graduate early and start College in January. By far the best player in the Class and workhouse for the #1 ranked team is out.

This to me puts Blair Oaks in the drivers seat, Trinity of course has other weapons and we’ll see on Saturday vs Lutheran North if they are still the same offense without the best player on the team.

older brother of the soph Robert's-day. he had asthma but not a doctor so wont comment on it. autopsy will reveal more in detail I'm assuming. theres more to the story and I'm guessing a lawsuit will follow. some coaches will have some explaining to do.

Here's the first media poll of the year. I always think it's interesting to compare the first and last polls of the year and see what's changed.

Probably the highest ranking Joplin's seen in awhile. I don't remember seeing Carthage at #2 since they were class 4 ranked just behind Webb City. I would have to look back but seems unusual to not see Webb as #1.

I'm going with penalties.

Right off the bat I want to say I think the coaches at Trinity, Lutheran North, Lutheran St Charles, Ofallon Christian and now Duschene are good men. I coached high school football for 28 years and I don't know any of the coaches real well but I do have coaching friends that know them well. I coached in class 3 public school . John Burroughs was the team we could never get by. In the last couple of years the talent level coming to Trinity and Lutheran North is unreal. 2 years ago a whole team of 8th graders went to Christian they are now Juniors they will be very good. The Lutheran program is now benefitting from many 9th graders that went to Lutheran a year ago. Duschene has 12 frosh from the same team that won the 8th grade super bowl on their team. I am in no way blaming these coaches are kids wanting to play with their friends. The point is small public schools have no chance. Lamar was the exception but those days are over. Lutheran North and Cardinal Ritter have gotten better with many great players at those schools. Class 2 will be won when those play each in districts. Class 3 you have Trinity who will be better this year and you wonder why they have a couple of unbelievable frosh come to their school plus what they have coming back. How Blair Oaks is able to be on Trinity level is awesome but that is rare for a public school that is small. St Charles West is loaded but not Trinity level.

Down 10 at halftime to Wyoming. Barry Odom to the hot seat; my barber says Carl Reed is the front runner to fill the position.

11:30 a.m. - Cahokia Comanches (IL) vs. Chaminade Red Devils (MO)

2:30 p.m. - Phillips Wildcats (IL) vs. St. Mary's Dragons (MO)

5:00 p.m. - Cardinal Ritter Lions (MO) vs. Lutheran North Crusaders (MO)

7:30 p.m. - East St. Louis Flyers (IL) vs. Trinity Titans (MO) [Includes Under Armour All-American Athletes]

Webb is looking not good at all.

EVERYONE (and their brother) still refers to the class systems as 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A

lol...what are we ten years removed from dropping the "A"?

hugely important stuff I know!...but we should change it back to how it was

I was at a game tonight in which the strategy of one of the teams was to use 35-38 seconds for every snap. They stayed in the huddle for 30 seconds, just standing there. I really don’t see how this improves our game.

We need to figure out how to get some new blood on this board. Seems we are all getting pretty old on here.

Joplins D looking better than the O right now.

West Plains not looking to bad.. Defense looking pretty good..

Don't see him being eligible this year at Pattonville...hearing he's headed to Ohio State at semester.
