The ump miscalled 6 strikes in the second inning alone. It just turns me off so much.

According to X/Twitter the Lone Jack head football position is open again. Sheldon McKinzie coached the Mules for one season.

Mexico, Moberly, Centralia, Macon, Hallsville, Kirksville and Marshall all meet over the weekend, superintendents and ADs will gage interest from their districts, and will hold a 2nd meeting on the 28th.

Other schools were invited but there are the only ones I have confirmed where present.

This is for class 1 2 and 3.
This may be a little confusing to read and while it doesn't fix all the issues with top teams playing each other before the Final 4 it does address some of them and still maintains MSHSAA's wish to have all areas of the state represented in the Finals. Play everything past the first two rounds of districts at neutral sites.
1. to start with seed districts like you do now and play the quarterfinals and semifinals as is done currently. This would leave 32 teams in the state.
2. On the day after the current district semifinal games, either by a point system or a committee or coaches vote seed the 8 teams left in each region 1-8. For example this year is Class 2 Southwest quadrant the seeding might have been 1. Eugene 2. Norwood 3. Hartville 4. Crane 5. Crocker 6. Blue Eye 7. New Covenant 8. Pleasant Hope (based on seeding in the districts not who actually won. Then you play the Regional Quarterfinals and the regional semifinals or substrate or whatever name you want to call it.
3. This would leave 8 teams left from around the state and while one of Norwood Hartville Euguene is still eliminated the other 2 would advance if they win. You then take the final 8 and seed them 1-8 based on same criteria and take all 8 to the state tournament and play it out, I would get rid of the 3rd place game but you could keep it if you wanted.
4. This still guarantees representation from all areas of the state and does allow for the possibility of two teams from the same district to get to the state tournament and possibly even play in the state championship.
5. You could do it like Arkansas and play out the district then play out the regional and then play out the state tournament with top 2 from each advancing, but this keeps the number of playoff games the same as it is currently and it is still lose and you are done this way.
I'm sure there are some issues with this plan for example no district champion so no plaque no banner ECT.

Missouri Scoop indicates there are 23 head coaching jobs still not filled halfway through March. Some are pending so maybe they will be filled soon.

So the Vashon/Mexico playoff basketball game got me thinking. Clearly Vashon pulls the best from within STLPS otherwise there wouldn’t kbe such a gap for the last 60+ years from them and the other STLPS.

1. How many school districts have open enrollment within the district. (Obviously ones that have 2 or more High schools)?

2. Should they be subject to some sort of championship factor?

Im getting it out there EARLY!! But NEXT week, I am going to take a spring hiatus from MoSports. So do NOT panic if my posting decreases.

Weather is finally getting nice here in PA. Gonna take some time and step AWAY from MoSports. Go OUTSIDE! I would HIGHLY encourage ALL of my fellow posters to do that same. Its good for ones health!

With the MO entering the football offseason and PA's offseason starting next week, figured now would be a good time for us to establish what our respective "things" are. Obviously this doesn't bar another poster from using your "thing" but it does give you the rights to call em out for using it! HA!

Use this thread to claim yours! The below list is just beginning of what's already been claimed/established;

Bosko - Bozo, nincompoop, CLOWN (but only in regard to @HomeyR because he is THE MoSports CLOWN), little "chat", NICE TRY, NERD ALERT
@mosofan - knucklehead
@thetophat2021 - WHOA NELLY
@all the past and future Rawmeats - Peppery
@Joey and all his usernames - jacktard and track times. As DUMB as a TOOTS post
@Eagles_Ball - obtuse, woof
@TadQueasy - Jackwagon and Dingbat
@_slo_mo_ - old boomer and goober
@J. Kane - Two chicks at the same time
@Veer2Eternity - I hate most people, simmer down
@HHSX2 - Bonehead
@Mitsurugi san - Woooooo
@ChaoticFanatic - Cloggeroftoilets, Busterofseams, Raiderofcabinets, One-manEclipse, PicnicTable4one
@Toots_mcgee - Ok Tough Guy, Bahahahahaha, No such thing as a good ref, Gerry Bourtier was a champion
@J.Moxon - The Mox is just one man
@Albert C. Slater - Preppy
@Gollum_In_A_Tux - Fishhhhhh

@shoot90draw - Holy moly
@blindedbythelight - Debunked

So much winning! I thought it was supposed to be down in that dollar range by now.

Only the best people!

This happens multiple times a game in the NFL; but since the NBA actually ejects fools for this kind of thing, it’s a rarity in that league

Just seen a class 26er out of west monroe LA squat 730lb. How long before minnick has him in the K.

Friend and colleague Cody Thorn strikes again ... compiled this list for SI.

He also did the same thing for Texas high school players in the tournament ... found 93 Texas high school alumni on NCAA Tournament team rosters including at least one player on 32 of the 68 teams in the tournament.

KTTN radio (Trenton) reported this morning that Braymer and Polo have applied for membership in the HDC Conference (doesn't offer football). Reports came from school board meetings at Newtown-Harris and Grundy County R-5. Interesting ...

I’ve heard the Crest Ridge head football position is open but haven’t seen it on Scoop yet.

Anybody know the situation.

No surprise.

lol duh?

Phew

What an unreal game. Strafford wins on a 25 footer by frosh Larsen with 1.8 secs left. I think it might’ve been the only lead Strafford had in the game. Garrett from Skyline had 31…at halftime! 👀 No clue what she ended up with, but had to be well into the 40s. Pretty sure frosh Larsen had either zero or two at halftime and then just went nuclear in the second half. Just so fun to watch.

It seems like I saw this story on here somewhere but maybe it was somewhere else.

The fact that there is an outcry of support for this young lady when it is extremely obvious that the act was on purpose shows, once again, how out of touch with reality people are. Thoughts?
