NOW we move to the FINAL round 6. These games will appear in a separate thread in just a few minutes so you both have ample time to make your selections and tiebreak. Picks MUST be emailed to my private address (kcdartexpress@hotmail.com) and are due by 7 PM THURSDAY as the 8-man championship kicks off at that time.

CONGRATULATIONS and GOOD LUCK to you both! Hard to believe we are already here................

Wolves roll to a 49-20 win over Sullivan.

RECORDS
-------
WELDON (14-0, 17-0 GATEWAY, 7-0 GATEWAY SOUTH)
CARTHAGE (11-2, 10-1 COC)

Missed a 44 yard FG in the last few seconds.

I’ll be providing updates on here for all those not watching or paying for the stream

Carthage doesn't look interested in playing football today. 14-0 FH. Carthage has about 3 yards of offense.

Great fall day in Missouri. You can't beat the energy of a semifinal game atmosphere. Thankfully we have left these games at home site venues and have resisted the inane suggestions to move them to neutral sites. Good luck to all who are playing, coaching, or cheering on your team today. Have fun. Enjoy the experience. And may the best teams win.

Sorry I am beyond busy with emails, texts, calls etc. etc. etc. please be patient if you are reading this I will get back to you ASAP!

8 minutes left. In 1st q.

Soon, Central to Close, as well as Northeast. This will go along with:

• Southwest High School (Kansas City) - closed in 1998
• West High School (Kansas City) - closed in the 1980s
• Westport High School - 315 East 39th Street; closed in 2010

C6 title plus C4-3-1 semis. I believe the privates are all favorites but think we could see a few good games here. Pure fodder here are my spreads for each (not usually good at this but what the heck):

CBC by 14.
St. Mary's by 21.
Cardinal Ritter by 35.
Duchesne at EB is a tossup.

Thoughts?

What does Mississippi large school HSFB look like this year? I haven't paid lots of attention to the Magnolia State thus far.................pre-season rumblings were about Madison Central that is about all I know.

Non-bonus/deduction game BARELY. carthagefan2006 and NEMOFball now take the lead after the only split pick game of the weekend.

Among tomorrow's 12 games here are the solo picks for each player:

carthagefan2006 - none
ChaoticFanatic - Smithvlle and Duchesne
griffonsooner - St. Dominic
NEMOFball - none

As opposed to one game announcement earlier in the week all semifinal start times have standardized at 1 PM. I will be in Smithville and scurrying home to cover our first title game C6 kicking off at 4 PM. Look for stats and tiebreak results plus the announcement of our 2 finalists and instructions moving forward at the conclusion of that game.

GOOD LUCK players and all these great teams! Safe travels, too!

Class 1
Duchesne
Monroe City

Class 2
Blair Oaks (private schools need to have their own playoffs, damn tired of it)
Lamar

Class 3
Cardinal Ritter

Based on previous posts, MSHSAA more than likely is planning on making changes, what makes the most sense to you?

A win and they play in the B1G title game.
Currently Nebraska up 24-0 in the 3rd.

Decided last minute I was going to make the drive down from the Lou. I’ll probably be about 10 minutes late as a result. Supposed to be between 25 & 27 degrees for this one.

Going to be interested in the turnout for both teams.

Over 800 people have bought tickets so far.

Only game this evening. Have family plans but will try to get back in time...................looking forward to this one!

What a sport! You should be so proud. Yawn.
