6 Thoughts on Semifinals and Championship Saturday

[HBL Pirates fan_1990]

1. The Bigger schools in their individual Class like Francis Howell have it made.

2. Private Schools need their own Class end of Story!!!

3. Bowling Green was for real this year but couldn't get it done against the one of the best
Teams in the state

4. Was Monroe City as good as they were advertised, or Was The CCC down this year?

5. West Plains is OVER-RATED, Whoops did i say that!!!

6. If CBC wins another Championship tonight, When Does Mshsaa move them to College or Class 7 by themself 😂😂😂

Conference Adrian is in was pretty good, top 4 or 5 teams anyway. WP achieved past what was expected of them. Maybe teams 40 miles apart should not be on opposite sides of bracket. Agree on private schools to a large extent.

1. Agreed. Put every 11 man football team in their own classification. If they complete their schedule, they win the state title for their class. Hannibal wins a state title!
2. Yes. Also put the public schools that routinely beat private schools to win state titles in a separate class. Hannibal might win a state title!
3. Doesn't matter. They couldn't have stopped a slug today, even if it had salt dumped on it.
4. There was no advertisement. They were about what they are every year: good for their area.
5. There are no ratings. Just wins and losses. And they beat Hannibal. I know, I know- "But if..."
6. There is no Class 7. And there is no theirself.

BO would been in trouble today if they played a team with a much better defense.

BG offfense was as good as advertised though.

Yes. They weren't flawless. Their kicking game is ugly.

Should be a great lineup at state. Time to sweet talk the wife to let me go to multiple games lol

Yeah what happened to Seneca? I thought Lamar would win, I didn't think it would go like that!

That is in large part due to who BG had back returning. I know they had to give up the short field but there’s no way I would’ve kicked to #10 or #1. I probably would’ve kicked out of bounds the whole game lol

They did kick it out of bounds some. #1 was an up back most of the time. #10 not a home run hitter. If they could kick deep and get it covered, they would. Punt game looked like crap, got a PAT blocked, missed another.

Lamar better prepared. JV scored 14 on their varisty. We absolutely bullied them on both lines. They (Lamar) blew the first meeting. It’s especially evident now after this game. Should be undefeated, but it is what it is.

Hopefully it's a good title game. Good luck on getting to exercise your own free will next weekend.

I play. Lol She will be ok. She will probably come up and watch our Nephew play and then go shop with her sister.

🤣🤣 You must not have watched the same game I did if you think #10 wasn’t a home run hitter…

#10 for Bowling Green?

Yup and him and 1 are the best athletes on the team imo.

 

[65TPT]

#10 for Bowling Green?

Yes…the one that returned the opening kickoff about 60 yards and then later returned one for a td. He may be faster than the Starks kid…

He’s young, BG will still be solid next year.

Those 2 were very tough. Fast and physical runners. The game went about as I expected. I had wondered all year how BO would match up physically. I knew they wouldn’t completely shut down their run game, but I also felt they may hang 70 on BG. BG hadn’t seen that kind of speed on the perimeter all year and watching them last week I felt they couldn’t match up with the motions that BO would run. BG was fun to watch for how physical they were. #10 may run for 2k yards next year. Very good player

this has nothing to do with Hannibal at all. West Plains got destroyed by a 8-5 St Dominic who does play a tough schedule but still, 3 of 5 losses were blowouts. West Plains Barely beat Hannibal last week without Williams. If Hannibal was playing St Dominic today Hannibal would of won because Williams was rumored to be back today. To me, West Plains is a average team

about this time next year Hannibal will be heading to the state championship next year!!!

Those KO returns were due to bad kicks and bad kick coverage. BG didn't appear to me to be overly physical. By the looks of their roster and sideline, i'd be very surprised to see them past districts next year.

He’s good. And should be a good title game next week.

We can agree to disagree. I just want to give their players and team the credit I think they deserve. I haven’t been to every BO game but I think they were the most physical team they played all year.

But I agree I’m not sure how far they make it, but with Starks gone I think #10 will be the bell cow

Rufus, #10 Bleyne Bryant just picked up his 3rd D-1 offer. Now holds offers from Eastern Illinois, Ball State and Colorado State. Still think he's not a home run hitter?? I would like to believe he has to be pretty explosive to get a couple of offers like that.

Yup, him and that Starks kid were/are pretty good.
