As promised here are the standings after Friday's games. Those who picked Branson on the road got double points and Neosho with the huge win at home was also worth double points. Congrats to tigershs and therulebook1 on being the only two to get all 5 games!
Now on to this week...not as many clear favorites. Two big games here in Jasper County including the much anticipated WC/Joplin game.
Carthage at CJ
Maybe Buck will rearrange and get things sorted out but after seeing Fridays results I like Carthage's chances to hand CJ an 0-2 start for the first time in a few years.
Neosho at Branson
Branson has been decidedly better the last year or so but what was up with friday night in Neosho? A week ago I would have quickly picked Branson and moved on but it's hard to ignore a 35-0 beat down.
Willard at Ozark
Both these teams lost friday night by lopsided margins. I'll go (unconfidently) with Willard.

Two more teams on the losing end friday night. Another toss-up.
Webb City at Joplin
WC quickly put to bed any rumors that they might be vulnerable. Joplin ran all over Willard as expected. As good as Joplin is I just don't see it being enough to take down WC's tradition and confidence. Either way Junge will be a rockin' place come Friday.
