Hearing that Battle could be naming a new HC very soon. If it happens, the school he's leaving will be losing not only an assistant football coach, but a HC in another sport.

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?

They made a list of the players that have a true first round grade in this years draft and made a player comparison for each of them. There are only 13 this year that were determined to be true first round talents.

Quarterbacks: 0 - Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders, who will both be first round picks, are graded below the top four QB prospects from last year. Meaning they would likely not have gone in the first round in last years draft even though they may both be top 5 picks.

Running Back: 1

Ashton Jeanty (No. 3): Comp for him is Alvan Kamara

Wide Receiver: 2

Travis Hunter (No. 2): Comp for him is Odell Beckham Jr.

Luther Burden III (No. 13): Comp for him is Stefon Diggs

Tight End: 2

Coleston Loveland (No. 6): Comp for him is Trey McBride

Tyler Warren (No. 9): Comp for him is Rob Gronkowski

Offensive Tackle: 2

Kelvin Banks Jr. (No. 8): Comp for him is Rashawn Slater

Armand Membou (No. 10): Comp for him is Jason Peters

Interior Offensive Line: 1

Will Campbell (No. 12): Comp for him is Dion Dawkins

Edge Rusher: 2

Abdul Carter (No. 1): Comp for him is Micah Parsons

Jalon Walker (No. 5): Comp for him is Harold Landry III

Defensive Tackle: 1

Mason Graham (No. 4): Comp for him is Nnamdi Madubuike

Linebacker: 0 - It's rare for off ball linebackers to receive a first round grade

Cornerback: 2

Will Johnson (No. 7): Comp for him is Pat Surtain II

Jahdae Barron (No. 11): Comp for him is Brian Branch

Safety: 0 - Two safeties will likely be picked in the first round this year but neither has a true first round grade.

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!

Should easily be the best game of the day to wrap up the 2025 MO HSBB season!

Carthage is in need of 2 teams for the 79th Carthage Invitational that runs from December 11th-13th next year. The current teams are Carthage, Webb City, Joplin, Carl Junction, Nevada, and Leavenworth (Ks). Please contact Coach Morris if interested. morrisn@carthagetigers.org

The gas pedal is broke at full throttle from here on.

Cards came out like a house afire then LR seemed to be righting ship until that last couple of exchanges before end of quarter. A good one brewing here!

Thomas is retiring and Odessa is now on the clock.
