Pass defense was my biggest concern because it looked suspect in their other games. When you have the size and speed nixa has penalties just give you a little extra challenge for the fun of it.Carthage has no answer for the Nixa passing game. Nixa should be up 35, but can't get out of their own way with penalties.
I’ve got family at the game.Nixa is as advertised for sure. They are massive and their qb is gonna be a thorn for the coc for awhile. Carthage is putting up a fight but outmatched big time.
Apparently Drink arrived via helicopter from Mizzou before the game started. Watching in the end zone.
Yeah I’ll admit it nixa deserves this hype this year.Valiant effort by Carthage's defensive line...looks like they ran out of gas but they'll continue to dominate all the normal o lines. They'll be fine in class 5.
Also really impressed with Nixa's linebackers.
They might have if nixa had hired someone internal instead of a big name with a resume.Sure would help if Cantwell would go to IMG or something. Or Bixby 🤣
I think Nixas Soph class is solid. They come back to Earth after that group. I’d imagine once this group that is juniors graduate they’ll be back to being good, but nothing like they are now. No knock, just that they won’t be steamrolling all of SWMO.Unfortunately I think Nixa will remain a problem for the next few years, their QB threw a heck of a ball and he’s got plenty of athletes to throw it to. And he’s only a sophomore. This might be the best team they’ve had in awhile.
I think Carthage will be fine, think last night shows where they need to improve if they want to make a run in Class 5. Agree with the other messages, I think the west side of the COC is completely wide open, not sure we’ve got a good read on anyone after playing the east side. Nixa will steamroll through that side.
I noticed the QB is a soph. He unloaded a pass that covered 60 yards in the air. A talent for sure! Three Jrs on the dominant Oline. Probably take the COC again next year.Yeah I’ll admit it nixa deserves this hype this year.
I talked to a guy from nixa at half, he said most of what makes this team so brutal will be back next year but he’s not sure they will be anywhere close to this level after that.
Seems like everyone is moving to Christian county. Fun fact, it’s shaped like Oklahoma 😂You have to wonder with their current success are they going to get players moving into Nixa. Similar to what has happened to Webb for years.
Going to? You mean continue to?You have to wonder with their current success are they going to get players moving into Nixa. Similar to what has happened to Webb for years.
I remember seeing something in 2021ish that listed Christian County as maybe the third largest growing area (per capita, of course) in the US. Honestly, I could believe it. You couldn’t swing a dead cat in Nixa or Ozark back then without hitting a new housing development.Seems like everyone is moving to Christian county. Fun fact, it’s shaped like Oklahoma 😂
Bixby is down this year. Lost to Owasso to open the 2024 season.They might have if nixa had hired someone internal instead of a big name with a resume.

According to Stacker. Greene county #4, Christian county #7.Springfield is a crime ridden trashy city.
People that can leave, do. The ones that can afford it, head south.
