Nothing real surprising last Friday other than Carthage (without most of their play makers) nearly getting bested by Branson. Willard lost by a lot but did manage to score a respectable amount of points against Webb City as they did vs Joplin. Joplin still rolling. Repmo and Ozark had a shootout. CJ jumped out to a 14pt lead but stalled out as Nixa took over.
Just 3 weeks left in the regular season!

Just 3 weeks left in the regular season!
- Branson at Nixa - Nixa kind of seems like the pick here but neither have really made a clear case as a favorite.
- Neosho at CJ - Two struggling teams here. I’ll give CJ the advantage being at home? Seeing Carthage with injuries has given me some sympathy for CJ fans.
- Carthage at Willard - This is a perplexing game that’s coming at the wrong time for Carthage. Carthage seems in a funk with many of their starters injured - I don’t know their expected status. If they play even remotely similar to last week they will likely get 'upset' by Willard. On the other hand, Willard is the definition of inconsistency.
- Joplin at Ozark
- Webb City at Republic
