Gut check time for Smithville...do they have the stuff this year?
Haven't seen them. They're obviously pretty good. But haven't played the schedule that PC has. I'll take PC.
Ranked by what measure? Calpreps?
The only thing that matters in this discussion is St. Louis is gaining in championships won in the top 2 classes, where StL and KC truly compete with each other. I'd say most would agree the depth in KC is greater, but at the top the gap has closed. This is a good thing BTW.
Class 3 and 4 St. Louis Champs: 3 since 2002. That's 10 %
NOT EVEN the level of "occassional." That is called a non-factor.
It's been a few decades since Class 3 and 4 were the top two sizes. I don't know what straw you are grabbing at here.

The gap in Class 5 and 6 hasn't closed just because the frequency of St. Louis teams winning. The ranking %s over the last five years match the % of championships over the past 20. Long term, the quality shows through...small sample sizes or a recent abberation in the # of titles won't change the averages over the long haul. It may be a trend in the # titles, but not in the number of high quality teams.
What is it with the lack of respect for Calpreps (who was 91% accurate last week by the way.) The only completely objective measure of team performance. Which, by the way, gets more accurate as the season progresses. Why would I not trust that as a source for ranking? Who am I supposed to trust more? I beat writer from St. Louis? Gimme a freggin' break.

And you got to see the Legend, the Man Above Boys Shannon Crouch run all over them that day. (Crouch even got the old totem pole!)

Better be able to defend the pass. That being said the weather may be a big help for the Warriors as it WILL be cold the question is whether it will be WET.
Does Calpreps have a weather factor? Or is that the 9% of the time it's wrong?
Previous reference to Calpreps has Smithville winning all the way to a
Previous posting say CalPreps has Smithville winning districts, beating Moberly and then losing to Webb City in semis. Why even ask?
I say it's most likely a KMO - PC Highway 92 Bowl rematch with Kearney getting the slightest advantage because of history and game at home.
I'd like Smithville to win but not tested and proven the same as PC.
District 8
1. Kearney - 48
8. Winnetonka - 0
4. Lafayette St. Joe - 35
5. Excelsior Springs - 24

6. Savannah - 10
2. Platte County - 49
7. St. Joe Benton - 17
Second Round
1. Kearney - 28
4. St. Joseph Lafayette - 21
2. Platte County - 27
3. Smithville - 31
Championship
1. Kearney - 17
3. Smithville - 22
Calpreps is really good at what it does, giving a hypothetical some argument. I love how you have turned what was initially completely factual data points and confused it with bs. Nobody is saying StL is better than KC overall in really any way, just that the gap is closing. That's undisputed.
I bet Calpreps has Macon beating Clark County this Friday (they did before last week anyway). Let's look at that one again after this week.
Last year starting in week 10 through the championships, Calpreps was 81%, I was 84%.
Last week, Calpreps was 91%, I was 93%.
So yes, I can do better.
It’s not a headliner game but I think Carthage v Neosho could be good. Neosho surprised Carthage 2 weeks ago and seems to be getter better late in the season. Carthage on paper should win by a lot but has struggled at times this season so I would not be surprised to see a close game. Based on what I saw a couple weeks ago, Neosho winning the district as the bottom seed isn’t out of the question in my opinion.
