#4 C4 Center 53-27 #2 C3 Pleasant Hill
- Thread starter quadzilla200
- Start date
I have this on now after leaving the slaughter up the street (49 and counting to 6 Kearney halfway through the 2nd).
They young announcers doing the Fort NKC game are actually pretty good. I guess Drinkwitz landed in a chopper at halftime.
This Center team looks very, very solid especially offensively. Pleasant Hill is a darned good team needless to say and the Jackets frankly make them look slow from what I've seen so far.
I figure that would be the case. I still think it will benefit them greatly come the playoffs, because I don't think they see another team that fast for a month.
Last year Center was C3, moved up to C4 this. Would have been clear favorite to get to state in c3.
their district is weak. Smithvile and Kearney will not have seen their level of speed when They meet in round 2. And they will come up and hit you. They just play a little undisciplined sometimes on D.
black Moses and love are fun to watch. Would love to see a kc urban school get to state. Been a while.

correction: Smithville has seen Kearney who has more speed than Center and Kearney seen themselves in practice every day.
Gotta be honest they look like a shootout team PLUS have not trailed as far as I know. What happens when/if they reach "uncharted waters" deep in the playoffs? That is when discipline truly comes to the fore...........
Lincoln Prep pushed Smithville last year. A TRUE inner city team. I still consider Center to be "inner suburban" much like the Raytowns, Independence schools except Fort O, Grandview, NKC and Ruskin.
Right, not an inner city school definitely an urban school.
fyi. Smithville and kearney do not have the speed center does. Especially where it counts.

Cue the track stats in 3…2…1…
Their opponents combined record 20-43.
Yep the lack of a good game will sting (figuratively and literally) once the State quarters arrive.........
I agree. They may be very good but you can't tell much with the schedule they play. The question is how do they respond when they eventually run into some real competition if they haven't had to dig deep and gut it out all year?
UNCHARTED WATERS. Always very interesting to watch these elite teams deal with it............
I think the biggest thing Center will need to do is not let it get in their heads when they get punched in the mouth by Smithville/Kearney and compound it with costly penalties. I saw NKC respond that way against Fort. They had way over 100 yards in penalties yesterday all from roughing the passers and late hits. I think Center is dangerous and would really like to see them succeed especially after how the refs stole the district championship in basketball from them.
The EMO conference is really weak this year. The starters have not even hardly played any in second half.
I think he missed out on who won state in track last year with sprinters, jumpers and throwers. Center has one guy under 11.1 named Love. Bigger, stronger and Faster.
Great athletes everywhere. That being said they have to get past a very, very game Smithville to even see Center.
Again don't care the opponent that was reminiscent of Jones best teams here maybe, heck, even better!
If it is Higginsville (cannot discount rivalry rematch with Richmond in the district final) they'd better really strap it up. That team is ball control, punishing offensively and solid defensively.
Center, Kearney and Smithville have never trailed by 2 scores this season. No way to know how teams will react to "uncharted waters".
You're operating under the premise that all fast football players run track and that straight line track speed is equivalent to the type of speed that is effective on a football field. Those are faulty premises from which to base an argument. They may sometimes be true, but Grandview wins track championships all the time, football, not so much.
Parents and fans are going to be a little biased. And that's ok, that's what it's all about! Just don't confuse it with an informed opinion.
Operating off the premise that Kearney’s starting D Has given up about nine points a game and had five interceptions in the first three games against legitimate competition which Center never had this year, by the way. And those games the quarterbacks have a combined quarterback rating of about 45.
I can further bolster that assumption with empirical facts. from the track.
Just watch video and tell me that number 21 from Kearney is going to have a counterpart on the center team.
To even make that claim is silly talk.
Smithville in Kearny play a class four and mostly five schedule not a class three schedule.
After watching the Center-Pleasant Hill game my concerns about them, even over and above the schedule, is the defense overall especially when the top C4 teams come calling. Not sure if it will happen but Center playing Carl Junction could be very interesting.
I don’t dispute that you may be right, nor did I before. I’m just sad that you think you just presented a coherent argument.
I guess if a team has "speed that Kearney/Smithville haven't seen before," I wonder why they are giving up 16 points a game to much inferior competition than what SV and K play?
Speed and the ability/willingness to tackle are two different things that sometimes work together and sometimes have nothing to do with each other. You'll have to try something else because you keep throwing out non-sequiturs.
So I guess allowing just 9 points a game doesn't indicate speed/ability and willingness to work together? Empirical facts. Just throwing out shade and platitudes with no facts. Holding the Smithville QB to a 29 QB rating? Shutting down Fort Osage? Having 10 picks?
After Fort beats Oak Park, they will be the #1 seed in District 8, Class 5.

No. Correlation does not necessarily mean causation.
Pick one and you have probably committed it: https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/ . I'm just trying to help. No, don't thank me; your next response will be thanks enough.
You might want to offer your services to the NFL.. They have this logical fallacy about believing speed, strength, and size is important. You could revise the combines with your theory...
I know it's easier to just make stuff up when you are backed into a corner, so I don't fault you for that too much, but if you could point to the time when I said speed, strength, and size were not important, that would sure be great.
And you have got to try harder in the future; I'm starting to feel a little like a bully.
