[carthagefan2006]

Neosho stopped for 3 and out on 3 of their 4 drives, but 2 Carthage turnovers in Neosho territory keeping Neosho in the game. Neosho bypasses a chip shot field goal and turns it over on downs allowing Carthage to drive 95 yards in 16 plays.

 

[carthagefan2006]

Carthage bizarrely calls timeout after the opening kickoff of the 2nd half before putting together an 8 minute scoring drive.

 

[carthagefan2006]

Carthage outscores Neosho by 1 more touchdown than they did 2 weeks ago, but they win by 1 point fewer. They will need to clean it up a bit to beat Nixa next week.

Wasn't Willard leading almost the entire second half?

Willard was leading the entire game period. Even when they were up 19-14 it felt like they were dominating

Carthage vs. Staley. That has been my C5 semifinal since Summer.

Carthage played outstanding defense but their old friend Mr. Turnover continues to be a thorn this season as does kicking/PATs. It seemed like this game was over very quickly. After walking out of the stadium and across the parking lot and then driving to drop a friend off, I turned on the WC game and it was not even halfway through the 4Q!

The Tigers goal since the beginning of the season has been to win their district and they will have a chance to achieve that this week against Willard, a team they beat 48-12 in the regular season.

Won't be playing Nixa, Willard beat them.
