Class 4 District 8 Best and Deepest in the state

No vanity. Hard truths. WHich, granted, Kearrraarneay fans have trouble swallowing atb times.
 
Camdenton loses... Smithville crushes Maryville. District 8 now has five teams ranked higher than District 5's number 3. Any questions?

Camdenton didn't lose. And congrats to Smithville for beating a class 3 team while most of district 5 was beating class 5 and 6 teams.

Next....
 
And now? Camdenton lost. Lafayette, Excelsior, Smithville, Kearney, PC all won, and they are all ranked higher than District 5 #3 Camdenton.
And Camdenton is district 5 #4, trailing Webb City, Carl Junction, and West Plains. You're wearing me out having to constantly correct you. Would you mind getting something right at some point?

Camdenton still ranked behind five teams from District 8. Give it up. YOu have two teams that are with the top 3 in District 8. The next two from District 8 are better than your #3. No, next, that is reality.

This will be settled in mid-November when hopefully the winner of District 5 meets District 8. Whether it be CJ or WC, my gut is they will win due to their defenses. Who cares if you think your number 3, 4 , 5, 6, 7, 8 teams are better because how many times do those teams make it out of districts? I don't think the semi games in district 5 will be close. Does that mean that our district is weaker or that are top 2 are that much stronger? Ponder that......

  • 25 district championships (I think)
Coach Shore did a ton with workhorse players. Three D-I players in 36 yrs. Took over a program that was not a power house and made it a contender every year. Hard to beat that.
I got to see them play Kearney way back in 1988 and 1989. They were the epitome of how hard work pays off. Never looked overwhelming just very efficient and well schooled.

Until knocked off HARRISONVILLE is the defending C4 champion. Not sure lightning can strike twice but don't count anyone out just yet...........

Of all these stats and looking beyond the obvious favorites how about the fact perennial doormat McDonald County is above .500?

I would hope the seniors won't overlook anyone given their experiences. Two fumbles into the endzone to lose as sophomores. Several turnovers and big plays to lose to Harrisonville. Not saying they are going to win but I would hope that they understand there is no such thing as a guarantee.

Calpreps says:
West Plains 28, Excelsior Springs 27
Camdenton 28, Excelsior Springs 26

Which would mean district 5 has four teams in the top 8.

Face it, these two districts are pretty much equally strong and equally deep.

CJ will go down after Pitt beats them. Of course, Kearney will go down after Staley beats them. The big dog at the top is still WC.
 
Is Pittsburg's quarterback playing? Heard rumors that he was hurt after WC game. If he is not playing CJ will turbo clock them. If he is playing CJ by 3 tds unless their offense plays like they did against Willard. The Pittsburg defense will fly around and hit you and are definitely better than Willard's D. Pittsburg would have the 3rd or 4th best D in COC. They would probably nudge out Ozark.

Have to think Kearney will come out with much, much more urgency and energy than the first quarter of the Raytown game. That being said this is no ordinary Falcons team with about as diverse an offense as there is in this area if not the state so staying within range would only be possible by controlling the clock with an efficient running game. The Dogs certainly have the RB to do it but the O Line probably is overmatched. Four days out still favor the Falcons by around 20.

The computers have Staley by 17, BUT...the computers take into account the first three games of the season (and just look at the past three games) Kearney looks to be much closer. I'd say Staley by 7 to 10. If Kearney does beat Staley, then I would say the semi between WC and Kearney will be a dandy--because Staley has been large and in charge all season.
 
For all of you Calpreps Junkies(I don't find their system to be accurate in games that matter)

I put in Webb City vs the Top 5 teams in District 8 and here are the results:
Webb City 5-0
I put in Carl Junction vs the Top 5 from District 8 and here they are:
Carl Junction 4-1

So according to Calpreps, Webb and CJ would go a combined 9-1 vs the top teams in your coveted District 8
 
But Calpreps also has Smithville as the #2 team in Class 4 in Missouri so that right there says that the ratings the site provide are worthless when it comes to serious matters

By the same logic, I could take Kearney, PC, Smithville, Lafayette and Excelsior Springs... who would all be 6-2 against District 5.

Well I guess it's a good thing that Calpreps is wrong. Lafayette and Smithville play in the MEC. Which is made up of half Class 2 & 3 schools.
If those schools played the same schedule as Webb/CJ or even WP/Camdenton, you're looking at a 6-3 regular season. 7-2 at the absolute best.

it's astounding to me how you use calpreps to justify your point in any debate.

too bad none of your super district teams will make it out of the first round of the playoffs.
 
Chances are.....that the winner from District 5 will be the State Champ for Class 4. Greater than 90% based solely off my gut......haha

FUNNY...District 8 had the state champ in 2015 and the Runner up in 2016. So they will knock each other off, just like District 5 will. It is just that District 8 is deeper, and overall, is slightly better. Hahaha

If you really want to talk about past state championships with teams involved in these districts, you will most certainly lose that battle.

And you're correct, the teams in district 8 have a better record, but since two of your top 5 teams play down a class or two half the season, that's to be expected.
 
SW MO dominates Class 4 and Class 2 State Titles. WC has won half the state titles since 1990. Has the KC area (not one program) won the other half. I don't think so. Lamar has dominated the last 6 years and I would guess still has more state titles since 1990 than any other class 2 team.
 
Let's do the simple math based on state rankings:

Class 4 District 8 combined team points = 297.27
Class 4 District 5 combined team points = 327.40

Wrong again

Math not a strong suit at Kar-e-knee?

Maryville and Pleasant Hill rate higher than any opponent Camdenton has played to date.
 
I'm going to go out on a limb and say probably calpreps. ;) hahahaha
Maxpreps, Calpreps. Objective facts after 7 games. WC was Class 4 and beat Class 6 teams. Maryville and PH have a history of beating class 4 teams. Good football is good football. And they are both better than anyone Camdenton has played this year.
