Cass County isn't in southwest Missouri. SMH
Four quadrants, southwest Mo, northwest Mo southeast Mo, northeast Mo.
Archie certainly west.
Archie closer to Arkansas than Iowa.
Thus on the four quadrant map Archie is in Southwest Missouri. Which is the whole point of saying “southwest Missouri”.
If you want to put them in northwest Missouri, please explain.

West Central Missouri................
Sounds good. But the invitation still stands for them to join the southwest Missouri Parade of Champions planned in Joplin. Sutton with his three interceptions is in prime position to be name Parade Marshall.
They are SWMO only in the sense that of all the 8 man schools they are in the 8 man area. Here's how I'd determine if they are SWMO or KC area... any random kid on the team how to get to Joplin... then ask them how to get to Arrowhead... Most would probably say where the **** is Joplin.
Sure, but if you ask them which way they’ll head to buy a used pickup truck I bet they’d head south.
And your point is what? I didn’t realize KC was the northern tip of Missouri.
Geographically speaking, facts are facts. Archie is closer to the Missouri southern border than it is to the Missouri northern border.
And here in southwest Missouri, we love our Archie Whirlwinds!
(Our goal here is to make this a longer thread than the State Championship Predictions thread which turned into the usual public versus private debate - this one seems a lot more fun to me)

Interestingly......you guys should get your maps out and do some measuring. By saying SW MO, one is implying you are geographically dividing the state into 4 quadrants (SW, SE, NW & NE). Archie is approximately 135 miles from the the Arkansas State line and approximately 145 miles from the Iowa state line.
I guess if you want to add central Mo to equation, it would be geographically located in West Central Mo. If you divide Mo in half between North and South, it is certainly not in the north half of the state.
To visualize a line dividing north and south, where Highway W intersects with 49, between Archie and Harrisonville, is about halfway between the northern and southern state borders. Jefferson City is almost exactly in the middle, north to south speaking and then over to just a few miles south of downtown STL, if you ignore the 30 mile wide bootheel.

Congrats to Archie. A state title takes hard work, talent, organization, focus, and often some good fortune. Every team that wins one is deserving. It's a hell of an accomplishment. Have not seen them, but have heard from trusted friends and associates that they were unbelievable. I believe it's their first title? That's a special deal. All of the players, coaches, and everybody associated with the program should enjoy this for weeks. And weeks and weeks, if they want to.
Have to agree with you. I’m looking at this map with its very clear labels and city name, and most of the country will now think of Archie as a St. Louis area school.
If we assume that giant pin which takes up a huge chunk of the map and thus creates what some would call an optical illusion is indeed Archie.
Or if we assume there is a northern half of Missouri and a southern half of Missouri, we could use Google maps to PROVE (once again) that Archie is closer to Arkansas than Iowa.
Now, SWMO says let’s go Seneca, Marionville and Republic. Don’t let our Archie neighbors down today! Let’s make it #two, three, and four titles today for ourselves!
🏆🏆🏆🏆
Lamar will finish it all out tomorrow - one more 2023 ring for our SWMO thumbs!
Speaking as a person located 5 miles south of Archie we do not consider ourselves SWMO. To me, anything north of Kansas City might as well be Omaha. Joplin is rarely a thought unless we are going to Oklahoma and it's the last stop before hitting the border.
We definitely see ourselves as just western, MO hence the WEMO conference. But if forced to choose we would not choose SWMO.
It's one of those things that when we want to nerd out and get technical it's "Huh...guess we are SWMO".

@J. Kane
Import some red clay then you can call Archie SWMO...........oh and don't forget the rocks!
And just when Webb City, Seneca and Lamar were considering replacing Joplin with Archie in their annual August jamboree…..what a shame.
Oh well! I’m still just as proud of the Whirlwinds and wish them equal success in 2024!

What's funny about Archie and Adrian is with teachers having kids and living in the other town you have some very interesting cross pollinating.
I like the J Kane map better...............Interestingly......you guys should get your maps out and do some measuring.

That's the last one you guys are gonna get !!!!SWMO 1-0
You're going to die on that hill, picking against Seneca and Lamar all playoffs!
Just from Quarterfinals on, got it! Keep picking against them and if it doesn't work today and tomorrow, continue on next year during the regular season. It is bound to happen at some point! Especially when they play each other in the regular season!
Archie has to be proud with everyone wanting to claim them.
How about this?
Public’s 1, Privates 0
(Oh no, strike that!)
