Marionville doing a good job of controlling the clock. Indians QB is fast and can scramble well. No huge plays from either team other than a Pomeroy TD for the Comets.

Valley scores on 83 yd first play

Incredible

I just happened to read this in the local paper. Wow!
The US Naval Academy should get ahold of this kid. Sounds like a future Marine or Seal.

The Grain Valley High School running back, who finished his senior season with 2,485 rushing yards and 33 rushing touchdowns, had taken a helmet to the chest late in the second quarter of the Eagles’ 49-35 Class 5 state quarterfinal loss to Webb City and found himself in the unfamiliar position of sitting on the sidelines – literally sitting in that unfamiliar position while pain ravaged his body.

Williams later found out that helmet-to-chest hit broke two ribs, bruised three others and bruised his spleen.

So, what did this heart-andsoul player do in his final game in a Grain Valley uniform?

“He missed one play and went back out on the field,” said Eagles coach David Allie, who did everything but handcuff Williams to a bench to keep him from returning to action.

“He’s on our sidelines, having trouble breathing – he’s gasping for air and tears are coming down his face – and I said, ‘You’re done.’ Somehow he got back up on his feet and returned to the game.”

With all those injuries, Williams carried the ball 22 times for 174 yards and a touchdown, along with a 40-yard return in the second half that set up an Eagles score.

And I will have been attendance at all of them!

1982 v Maryville
I was in 6th grade and my mother took me to the game. Stood with a capacity crowd on the old cinder track. Heartbreaking loss, I don't rmemeber the score but pretty sure was a one score game. I remember the heart break of the player and them just standing/kneeling and crying their hearts out. Ned Rynolds on the 6 o'clock news "When Maryville came to town everyone wondered what a Spoofhound was; when they left, no one cared."

1985 v Pembrook Hill
My freshman year, was Republic was small but not small enough for freshmen to dress out for varsity. Opening kickoff and Pembrook Hill muffs the kick, this looks good, but then the returner picked it up and ran for a TD. I think Republic lost that one by two scores or so.

1986 at Oak Grove
My sophomore year, got about 4 or 5 starts thoughout the season, but made some sophomore mistakes and was not playing much but mop up time by the semi-final. I think we lost by three scores. I do remember this as a microcosim of that game. Oak Grove punts, not a very good punt, but it hits one of our blockers and Oak Grove recovers.

For these three games Republic was 3A, the town was approx. 6,000 people, and had one stop light at the time. Don't believe we even had the Wal-Mart or McDonalds yet, I'm thinking 87ish for both.

Now Republic is Class 5, it has outgrown it's little bedroom community and is a full fledged city with all the amenities. Still have a few of the old names but a lot of new faces as expected when the town is now 20 - 25,000 population, and more houses being built.

My senior season Webb beat us 12 - 9 at Webb in the first round of the playoffs, my nephew is on this years team and I hope him and the ole alma mater can send Webb home and make the first state championship game!

Good luck to them webbies today

A buddy of mine coaches HS football in Indiana. He was showing me the following site that has all kinds of current and historical information on every team in Indiana over the last 30 years. It is pretty cool. I love stuff like this.


Does anyone know of any sites like this for Missouri high school football? If not one of you nerds around here should develop one.

Football board has an interesting thread on SWMO realignment happenings.
