We are in Cassville. Watching. Sneaking. Lots and lots of troutses in the roaring river, aren’ts there, My Precious?
Yes, my love. We sees them. Lots and lots of troutses. We can see them. Raw and wriggling.
Soon, everyone will be going to Lamar, won’ts they, Precious?
Yesss. And no ones will be left to guards them. They will be left for Meeee!
You mean US?
Yes, yes. They will be left for us.

Joplin vs Carl Junction!

How can you not have district playoff schedule posted yet? I get there maybe a Saturday game or two this week, but they could post those districts that are complete.

Trinity Catholic travels to LaSalle, Ohio, and lays a 33-0 haymaker on a traditional Ohio power! CONVERSELY, Colerain, the #1 team in Ohio, beat LaSalle 23-0! In addition, Trinity, as you may know, barely lost to East St. Louis in 3OT's! East St . Louis lost by six points, to the #3 ranked team in Ohio, Massillon Washington! I for one, vote for giving credit where it's DUE!

They appear to be getting their fair share of street creds on the national messageboard!

Do u still think Kearney has a chance of making it to the big game? Does any of these other teams can make a long run in the playoffs?
Can a unknown team make a long playoff push?

#1. Eureka 7-1 44.81
#2. Joplin 6-2 40.07
#3. Lindbergh 5-3 36.73
#4. Kirkwood 5-2 36.68
#5. Northwest (Cedar Hill) 5-3 29.19
#6. Lafayette (Wildwood) 3-5 24.16
#7. Kickapoo 2-6 19.36
#8. Ozark 1-7 16.22

#1 in Class 4 wins another big one in dominating fashion.

How’s the seeding working this year. Who is playing who in all classes?

Curious as to which team got their first win of the season?

I know people have a lot to complain about when it comes to Mshsaa. I also get they try to cut down with travel especially with the smaller schools. I feel we don't get a true championship game though. Instead of D1 vs D2, etc. every year why not continue the point system (its not perfect but its not bad either) through districts and use it for seeding. I believe this would create a more balanced playoff and Championship game.

Is it off subject to talk about the NFL on MoSports As you might guess by my user name who I root for on Sundays. Haven't heard much about Drews performance Monday Nite on talk radio, so I will get something going with you guys. With all the negative talk about the NFL,I believe Drew is one of the RIGHT things it has going for it . A fierce competitor- but doesn't go scream at his coaches or team ( like Tom B ) a true team player and leader - who leads by example, and a great dad and husband it appears for sure !! Joe Montana has always been my favorite ( since we are twins - born same day- month - year- and hour ) but I believe I have two favorites now !!

STLFTBL Missouri HS Football State Top Ten

Not sure how the polls are put together for the state polls, but here is my best guess for the state. I am not too sure about the small schools outside of the STL, so the comments below Class 4 are for only a few teams. So I give you my overall Top Ten for the State regardless of class, and then each class Top 5. Looking for some good, fun debates and banter. Keep it clean.

Just interested to hear other football programs unique football traditions. It's what makes Friday night special in every town.

At Harrisonville during the Bob Barrett era. After a victory the team would gather in the endzone and take a knee to listen to Coach Barrett's postgame talk to the team. When it was complete we would count off our points together as a team. This tradition died when Bob retired after the 1989 season. It lasted for 15 seasons.

Back in the 1970's we used to shoot off a cannon after touchdowns.

Herculaneum Victory Bell Tradition. See my blog on small town high school football

75-15 against an undefeated team is fairly strong!

This one is everything billed and then some. #3 for CBC is as beast mode as any RB MO has produced in many years. How anyone in our great Show Me State will deal with this offense is frankly beyond me...............

Come out to Union HS this Friday night for the renaming of the field to Del Rinne Field prior to the football game vs Sullivan. Coach Rinne was a longtime successful head football coach and AD at union from the 70’s to the 90’s. There will be a reception beginning at 6:15 in main gym foyer with the unveiling on the field prior to kick-off.

is really good this year.

...wear sleeves. It's gonna be on the cool side.

CBC HOSTS NATIONAL POWER ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE

There's nothing quite like Friday night lights, but a sunny Saturday afternoon is close. There are several high profile matchups slated for Saturday this week. With the University of Missouri on its bye week, look for the Tigers coaching staff to make the rounds here as it tries to convince more talented locals to pledge to the hometown team.

The biggest matchup of the day features the area and state's top-ranked defending Class 6 champion CBC (5-0) hosting national power St. John's College (4-0) out of Washington D.C. at 1 p.m. at Ross Stadium.....
