And the football gods give us a great one this week:

Excuse me!?!? Ampipe, PA has grown PLENTY!!! Our team has REALLY improved since '83.
I doubt it apparently you have never seen any of the wonderful films from marvel, and you and stef's profile pictures are from '83, either that or when Mrs. Bosko left, you went into shock and forgot what's happened the last couple years

Oh come on there has been way worse on here... The guy from Georgia for one
 
WC's d-fense is familiar with the spread offense and usually shows up pretty good against it. Yes, they may let you move the ball from 20-20 but then they use the end zone as their friends and teams always run into trouble when they have to run the ball or go to the short pass. Webb's d-line will be a much faster line than Nixa saw with Joplin or another d-line, and in time they start to wear down the opponents o-line and start making the qb run for his life and look for receivers at the same time. Now, yes, WC's d-backs are going to have to stay with assignments and with the men in their area, but they will be coached on that all this week. The trick will be for Nixa to practice this week on stopping the veer & triple-option. It's one thing to have your scout offense walk through it so you can see it, but it's. totally different to have it come at you full speed and the offense knowing what they want to do to you. Jackson stepped in last week and gained over 100 yards, so it doesn't look like WC's offense will have to step back or come up with another scheme, JRod will just keep coming at you and you'll have to prove that you can stop them. And then you have the kicking game: who you going to kick it to? Or do what Branson did last week on their two times of kicking it on kick-off's - on side it and give the ball to WC in great field position? It's going to be a great game no doubt. You always have to give WC 14 points just. because they are at home, so you you have to hold them (at home) to no more scores and you have to score at least 15 - that's a little math for all you Ampipe guys.
 
WC just happened to catch them on the top of the fist hill, I guess. WC had to travel to Joplin to face a team at full strength, had some jitters, but could have won otherwise. Any other excus... uh... I mean reasons? 😎
Joplin isn’t your typical 3 loss team and not making excuse for losing to them. When you lose it’s a loss nothing more, but some factors explain why it went the way it did. Watch film on week one and that game could have gone either way. I think only traveling with 60 kids also had an affect when you are used to 100 in the locker room. A loss allows a means to get better. 14-1 is still a state championship this year if it works out that way For WC. Would it be another repeat if it’s in another classification? Jackson looks like they would be A tough opponent in JC in a couple months. Hope that happens!

I’m hoping for that, too. Jackson/WC would be awesome, but Jackson/Carthage would be more satisfying to Jackson.

As to your statement about losing: losing is better than getting beat. Some fans like to claim Carthage beat Jackson in the final last season, but they know Carthage was only one errant Jackson pass away from losing. When I see a game go into overtime, I see nobody getting beat, only one team winning and one losing.

So, I watched the Joplin game and I’ll be watching the Nixa game. I won’t be looking for reasons somebody lost, I’ll be looking for why somebody won. A word to the wise, though: after a close loss, nobody cares to hear how your team lost, just like nobody will recall the errant pass I mentioned earlier. Just praise the winner if you can and move on.

Let‘s just hope there IS a final and hope it’s close. Hope your game is close tomorrow night, too.
 
Highest classification in Mississippi, so yes? Can't go off the town size, as most school districts are for the whole county. Was talkin football with the BIL and to his knowledge only Jackson has more than 1 public school. Strange world compared to Missouri.
Foiled again! My leading theory was he was wanting to move up to a larger school. I am now out of ideas.
 
We'll find out a lot about Carthage, Webb, Joplin and Nixa this week.

He's double dipping. After 20 years of teaching in one state, you can retire and receive your pension. Then, a lot of teachers/coaches will move to another state and teach while also receiving the pension from the previous state.

I keep wondering if Perry's lack of exposure to WC will help or hurt? On one hand he may not totally know what he's up against. On the other he may not second guess himself and over-complicate the game plan.

What I think it's particularly interesting is that if Nixa manages to win this game, which would not surprise me at all - that means Webb CIty is the best team in the COC only 2 of the last 5 years.

A lot of teachers and ADMINISTRATORS do this here in MO. Teachers often go over to the private schools, which benefits the students there by having the best of the best available. My sister-in-law did it and earned two pensions. It's legal, so why not?

It's especially common in this area where a teacher can live/work in Joplin or CJ or Webb then hop over to Galena, Riverton, Columbus... any of those districts with only a slightly longer commute. I would assume it's the same in the KC metro too.

Buckhalter is supposedly going to do this and go coach in Oklahoma after this year.

or even Arky several coaches and teachers making that drive. Joe Wells is in Harrison.
 
I wouldn’t know,,,,don’t live remotely close to Carthage. But I think there is only one Carthage that plays football in Missouri
Likewise, you know there’s only one Jackson that plays football, so your question was purposely recondite.

And Steve Ary(Former West Plains, Mountain Grove, and Willow Springs Coach) is Head Coach in Mountain Home, AR starting this year. Has Darin Acklin(former Mountain View-Liberty coach for the last 15-20 years) as his OC. Both are double dipping.
Side note: I’ve been told they have Ryan Mallett as their QB Coach

Yeah I thought Ary was down there, wasn't he with Wells for a year?
Sort of sad that we lost that much coaching talent to Arky Use to be a time you would see teachers who would work way past their retirement age there was very little double dipping back then. Now you see it all the time, coaches and teacher are now circling that time when they can leave Missouri public schools to double dip. We lose a lot of good teachers and coaches because of it. I don't blame them, but yet it makes me sad to see them go way before they need too many are hard to replace.
