Branson vs Parkview Updates

Branson drives down inside the red zone, but penalties stall the drive and cause a FG attempt. FG is no good.

6-0 Parkview, 4:58 left in 1Q.
 
After a bad Parkview punt, Branson punches it in and makes it 7-6 after XP.

A bad read option causes a fumble on the following Parkview drive and Branson returns it for a TD. 14-6 Branson. 2min left in 1Q.
 
Kind of curious as to why Branson didn't want Parkview in the OMC?

It 100% was Branson that didn't want them. Branson wanted to be the only Class 5 school in their conference. Wanted to make sure they always stay big fish in little pond.

Well either way I vote with Branson. This league doesn't need another awful football program.

Kind of thought that was what the OMC was... maybe to put it more kindly, it was geared towards programs having difficulty climbing out of the hole in their existing situation. Not like any of them were recently dominating their previous leagues, except for Bolivar and West Plains having good years here and there (after Bolivar lost the COC East that is).

It was weird for them to accept Hillcrest, but not Parkview though. Hillcrest isn’t too much bigger than Parkview and both football programs have been really bad. Both schools have good basketball programs also.

The SPS schools have kinda been getting treated like the red headed step child in the new conferences that they’re in.
 
Just for a historical perspective ... what is the combine total of TEAM state championships (all-sports) for the current membership of the OMG?

Carl Junction is easy to tally ... 0

Not sure about Bolivar, Branson, Hillcrest, Logan-Rogersville, Marshfield and West Plains.

Parkview is bigger than Hillcrest.
 
I don't think it was Branson. I thought it was Rogersville and Marshfield. Either way I don't think the OMC should add Parkview or Central. I don't think they should have added Hillcrest.
Why not Hillcrest? Just curious. They’ve always been the smallest school in the SPS and up until Bolivar joined, Hillcrest had been the smallest school in the OC. It was only this year that Hillcrest passed WP in enrollment.

With Rog, Bolivar, and Marshfield all as close in proximity as they are to Hillcrest it makes sense.

The only two schools who truly don’t make sense in the OMC is WP and CJ but only from a geographical standpoint, enrollment-wise they make sense.

All of the other schools are towns with their own school. Hillcrest is just a random school in a larger city.

I think over the next 10 years Hillcrest will by far be the worst football program in the league. They haven't won 1 conference game in any fall sport so far.

Next year Hillcrest will be without a doubt terrible.
I’m talking turbo at half every game except Marsh and Rog terrible
 
Do you think the OMC should accept Parkview and Central?
It depends on the reasons, Parkview and Central would make the boys basketball stronger.

If we look at things outside of football, wouldn’t be bad to add them, but if we’re just talking football, then no.

But can’t use the excuse of enrollment being too big with them if Branson is already in the conference.
 
It seems like most of the league scheduled them in football anyway. Let them keep doing that.
