8-man Championship: North Andrew 54, LeBlond 24 FINAL

[thetophat2021]

Coverage here for those who did not purchase the MSHSAA championship package/not attending this game begins at 6:45 PM tonight!

Here are some tidbits entering our first title game of the weekend:

North Andrew topped LeBlond 64-36 way back in Week 2.

The Cardinals are among the most storied programs in MO 8-man history which officially began as a MSHSAA championship event in 1988 with an amazing 13 total appearances resulting in FIVE Championships (1996-97-2013-14-16) and a single tie in 1993.

This is the Eagles' first ever appearance since exiting 11-man for this level in 2019. They are seeking to become the second St. Joseph school to win the title which was last attained by Christian in 2010.

See you all at 6:45! Here we go!

Exactly how much did Bosko just wire you to post this?

He better be sending some of that cash to his local grocer to pay his tab. He eats enough to feed a 3rd world country!

Wish Bosko would swallow some of that aggression along with all that pizza!

6 championships. Tied for the title in 1993 with South Holt.
14th championship appearance, going for title 7. Mound City has 8 championships (10 appearances) and Worth County has 7 championships (11 appearances)

I don't count ties, sorry. I went back one by one counting all the brackets. Those are the "big three" indeed with Stanberry making a strong case for #4.

This is much easier

 

[Cards1968]

I don't count ties either. Valle only has 15 titles not 16 !!

The Westran (1st game) is also a big *

 

[thetophat2021]

This is much easier

Thanks and agree (MSHSAA showing 13 appearances curious if MO 8-man has records dating before the official 1988 start of championships in this division?) but I like to do the old fashioned "trust but verify". We are only one HALF hour from kicking this most exciting weekend off!

 

[Mo8ManFootball]

It’s 14 appearances since 1988. I agree toes are dumb but they count here. Take it up with MSHSAA.

 

[thetophat2021]

Underway. LeBlond on offense first. A bit confusing trying to get used to the yard lines overlapping the marked ones on the field. Face mask negates a very nice opening pass play.

Nitpicky stuff. No time for that now................

 

[thetophat2021]

One first down then punt. Cards on offense first time now.

 

[thetophat2021]

MASSIVE hole first run plus a bad out of bounds Eagles pen. NA on their way already.

 

[thetophat2021]

I hate this crap. For almost 20 years I spent a long weekend in St Louis and watched every championship game.
if MSHSAA can't move them back to Thanksgiving the state needs to make Tomorrow a State Holiday!!!

I agree. C6 on a huge island now.

 

[thetophat2021]

So far Cards O Line is downhill and opening nice holes. Winning at the LOS this drive.

 

[Wheels 1]

LeBlond must have close to 40 players.

 

[thetophat2021]

Easy TD Cards! 2 pt good! They need to get the time posted right, folks.

 

[thetophat2021]

Very nice KO return after first was out of bounds. LeBlond in business to answer.

Can already see why LeBlond has gone on this run. The passing offense is a nice one.

 

[thetophat2021]

QB run TD LeBlond!

 

[thetophat2021]

QB run TD LeBlond!

2-pt on option good! Tied at 8 mid 1st

 

[thetophat2021]

LeBlond catches NA napping gets onside.

 

[thetophat2021]

Benefit of having played the unbeaten Cards: LeBlond is spreading them out not trying to run at this huge team.

 

[thetophat2021]

Huge hit there by NA. LeBlond driving, though.

This LeBlond QB is really outstanding but two straight attempts at TD pass fail so TO on downs.

 

[thetophat2021]

Next play great blocking way too easy TD run. Wow impressive all around there.

 

[thetophat2021]

LeBlond 3 and out QB getting it out there one was out of bounds the other an easy drop. Part of that is NA's athleticism on D especially this Ecker kid (24).

 

[thetophat2021]

LeBlond finally forces 4th but QB keeper way easy first down. NA gonna be very hard to stop. As expected...........

 

[thetophat2021]

Nothing fancy just matriculating it downhill. Cards are on the move as Q1 nears end.

 

[thetophat2021]

End 1 NA first and goal. This option offense is a model of consistency.

 

[thetophat2021]

TD North Andrew! #24 is nearly impossible to stop, folks.

 

[thetophat2021]

Nice hit and fumble on 2 pt attempt no good...........

 

[thetophat2021]

Well done by Eagles covering that onside kick.

 

[thetophat2021]

Cards D energy level rising. Very hard team to run on. Eagles need to go air here in my opinion.

 

[thetophat2021]

Aaaaaand that's why I will never be a coach LOL.............good run for the 1st.
