I think there should be a requirement from MSHSAA that all games are live streamed and accessible to others whether it be some sort of (cheap) PPV method or just via Hudl.tv like most schools do. I do realize that a lot of schools do have it, but think everyone should have it.

Not asking for a lot, but think it would do some good for growing the game throughout the state.

For the third week in a row all fourteen competitors advance. Still in it are the top hat, Carthage Fan, 12R1, Mo Sooner 69, HBL Pirates Fan1990, Cards fan 200306, Revno, MoWestDad, Captain Mullet, Foot on the Gas, OlineWinsGames, Kaching, TadQueasy,








and Bosko.

Glendale @ Ozark
Lebanon @ Kickapoo
Nixa @ Waynesville
Carthage @ Republic
Webb @ Willard
Neosho @ Joplin

I 70 from just east of Columbia to the US 54 junction is as dangerous a construction zone as I've ever experienced especially coming home at night.

What are some of the places you have been (small town) that have a neat stadium and atmosphere for a Friday night game

These are the three schools on the Missouri side of the KC metro area without a win this season.
Central and Southeast, I get but what in the world has happened with RayPec? Looking at MSHSAA they havent beat a team with a winning record since they beat Joplin in 2022, if you want to count beating Joplin.

Does Coach Martin survive this? I know he won a state title a few years ago. Just seems weird with one of the best players in the state to not score more than 14 points in a game.

Camdenton (4-3) vs. Capital City (5-2) - After how CC has looked the last couple of weeks, I've got Cammy in this one by two tds

Hickman (3-4) at Rock Bridge (6-1) - Hickman has rebounded to have a decent season after a rough start, but this one won't be fun

Smith-Cotton (1-6) at Helias (6-1) - Well....

Battle (0-7) at Jefferson City (2-5) - I actually think Battle pulls this one off

Definitely some interesting contrast between the media "experts" and Maxpreps. When it comes to rankings I trust the computer wayyyyy more. All these media members have some obvious bias!

Beginning this week all who dropped the course will not post. Now we are really in the home stretch........................Week 8 will break what I was hoping to hold as form but we've had a no-GOTW one before but this will be different as there are TWO huge 7-0 vs. 7-0 8-man games both will appear as will a huge KC metro rivalry for NWCMO and the out of region is intersectional (considered the Orchard Farm-Warrenton game but thought it looked one sided based on schedules) between two huge C2 contenders.

There will also only be 15 games this week all posting tomorrow morning contesting Friday night so the entry deadline is again 7 PM that evening with stats to appear that night once all scores are confirmed. I have decided to stop "reaching" for some games and NO more "sucker bets" will appear moving forward. GOOD LUCK everyone!

The ol Nittany kitty cats are down by a couple scores to the unranked guys with the swords!

D1 Festus
D2 Gateway undefeated but I’ll take Sullivan or Pacfic
D5 toughest district in Class 4. 4 schools could win. Surprise pick but I will take Kirksville. Osage is my Dark Horse pick in class 4.
D6 Bolivar or Carl Junction, I’ll take Bolivar

Festus over Sullivan or Pacific in RD1
Kirksviile over Bolivar or Carl Junction in RD2
Kirksville over Festus in RD2

D3 Lutheran North
D4 Orchard Farm or Parkway North
D7 Wide Open any top 5 can win this district
D8 Kearney

Lutheran North over Orchard Farm or Parkway North RD1
Kearney over D7 Winner RD1
Kearney over Lutheran North RD2

This game is going by fast. Joplin with 2 turnovers, fumble and a pick 6 got Neosho on the board, offense hasn't done much.

That is surprising

Just got word from Lutheran North that coach Wagner will be suspended for the final 3 games of the regular season as well as the one game of the postseason. This was in response to avoid postseason ban for the football program. Story with a statement from North to come

Topic came up the other day. Someone thought this had changed. Do 4/5 still have a “play in” game to see who plays 1?

This one is a dandy with three of the top 5 ranked teams. It should be fun to see who makes it out and into the playoffs.

Hallsville (2-5) at Blair Oaks (6-1) - I mean BO

Eldon (3-4) at California (1-6) - Eldon big

Southern Boone (5-2) at Osage (6-1) - Should be a good game but I've got Osage squeekin one out

Versailles (1-6) at Boonville (5-2) - Boonville by a bunch

Fulton (0-7) at Kirksville (7-0) - Fulton had their chance to win one last week. Not so much this week

Smith-Cotton (0-3) at Jefferson City (1-2) - Personally I'm a little salty about the enrollment shenanigans last year so you know who I'm rooting for!

Rock Bridge (2-1) vs. Capital City (3-0) - Cap city seems to be a pretty good team but I just don't see them beating Rock Bridge. Gotta prove it to me I guess.

Helias (3-0) at Camdenton (2-1) - Not a big private school fan (ik, shocker) so rooting for camdenton but I'd be very surprised if they pull this one off.

Battle with whoever it is they co-op with cause who cares (0-3) vs. Hickman (0-3) - a game for the ages!!

Looking real good vs OU today
Texas needs to find ways to get him the ball more
