I saw him get off the bus after they returned home from the semi-final game and he could barely walk across the parking lot. He had an incredible season and he put it all on the field every week. I'm a fan. I hope he has great success at SDSU, he deserves it.Not all state, but Isaiah Davis getting the Missouri GPOTY award was a surprise. I didn't realize the statistical performance than young man put up this year. Truly incredible
I also didn’t understand thatIn class 2 the 2nd team all state QB from Ava won OPOY. That didn’t make any sense to me.
You do know how the all this works right, I am not taking anything away from them, but is possible the voting members thought there were others that were better? The Webb head coach is on the committee as well, 2 from each district.The other 3 starting offensive linemen from Webb City getting absolutely nothing is really unbelievable. They were as dominate as any OLINE in Webb City HISTORY! What a joke
He was awesome, put two thru uprights in one game on koI didn't see the kickers from Marceline and Valle but they must have been REAL special to beat out Nick Johnson of Miller in class one.
Not to mention, they would have to be designated as 1st team all district by THEIR head coach, and they weren't.To think, say or suggest 5 of the 15 best offensive linemen in Class 4 all played for just 1 of the possible 64 schools is either trolling or homerism.

Not to knock Coach Jasper, but I did expect Joplin to get there. They lost in the semi-final last year, only because they had to go through CBC. When I saw they didn't have to play CBC or De Smet to get to the final, I thought they would get there. Their key position players were all back. But, I still thought he should have won the award. He did more with less, IMO.I was honestly surprised that Coach Jasper from Joplin didn’t get Class 6 COY.
And yes, I understand they didn’t win state, I just feel like from an expectation standpoint, Joplin more than exceeded expectations as opposed to DeSmet who had pretty much been the favorite to win it all throughout the season.
I disagree. If a coach takes a team with lesser talent and can coach them to the championship game they deserve recognition. Many great coaches that dont get recognized, congrats to coach Swofford.Whoever wins the championship should win the award. Giving it to a coach who's team got drubbed in the title game, while attempting 2 passes, is ridiculous.

Ohhhh you were referring to Class 2. I was thinking you were referring to the Class 6 game.Whoever wins the championship should win the award. Giving it to a coach who's team got drubbed in the title game, while attempting 2 passes, is ridiculous.
Their reward was being in a bracket that allowed them to get to the title game.I disagree. If a coach takes a team with lesser talent and can coach them to the championship game they deserve recognition. Many great coaches that dont get recognized, congrats to coach Swofford.
Having coached against ava and coach swafford, I can guarantee you he does more with less than many playoff teams. It takes good coaching to reach the champ9, having d1 players versus 1 NAIA player is a heck of a difference. Maybe coach Holt should be coach of the yr.Their reward was being in a bracket that allowed them to get to the title game.
