District Championship Game Predictions…post yours
- Thread starter shovel_option
- Start date
My concern is who has Higginsville played? Their main MRVC East competitor Richmond had a rebuilding year.
They have quite a bit of what was a team that played in the next round (lost to BG) back this year. I think they had some development come to form this year. I don’t really like St Micheal’s either. So it’s possible this is a sneaky good matchup. Idk, I just trust the LC program more. And the George kid is a stud.
Micheal’s played a team I’m fairly impressed by in EB.
I feel confident it will eventually happen (heck it may this Friday) but Kearney has to mature as a program to the point every opponent gets your best shot each week. Yes there will be the obvious overmatches but the reward is twofold in those if you do this: Starters get rest and stay refreshed and the backups all get varsity PT which keeps the program rolling beyond those "peak" years.
Another point vis-a-vis those overmatch games is you can actually learn a lot about the state of your program from them i.e. do the kids and coaches ease off the gas pedal and/or how cleanly and maturely does the team play. Smithville's program has matured to this "it doesn't matter the opposition we are gonna lay it all out there and force them to defend" level. Kearney gets a golden opportunity to show they are moving in this direction this Friday. More to come in my main thread tomorrow.................
Yeah, missed that. lol I was about to edit my comment. Lmao.
It wasn’t real close. At some point playing a few teams vastly better then you isn’t helping you, it’s just showcasing the talent or lacking there of. There’s a medium to be found somewhere in there.
Regardless you could be onto something. I just trust LC.
If Golden were back would be a slam dunk. He really stood out last year. Regardless Class 2 is gonna be lots of fun to watch this weekend and moving forward. That NEMO titanic clash in Shelbina really stands out.
Cant keep TRACK of them all. I see what you did there
I’ll be watching that while at the Lamar game Friday. Can’t wait.
It’s going to be fun man. I agree!
I am! You should mosey over and put a name to a face (I have a feeling I already know you though)
I have one chin unlike Bosko. That’s all I’ll say on here.
I ALSO have ONE chin, thank you very much!!! Even in my doc, you can CLEARLY see the ONE chin!! NICE TRY BOZO!!!
Jimbo knows me. I'm sure he'd be glad to point me out.
I do have more chins than last time he saw me though. Covid did a number on me!
Ouchtown population 1. Maple-1. Double chin-0.
St. Michael's playmakers are their QB and wide outs. They love to dink and dunk or roll Zaun out of the pocket and let him make a play. Will be the best offense LC has faced so far. Regardless, LC should still win this one easily 42-21.
Webb, Joplin and Republic didn't turbo CJ.
THANK YOU for acknowledging I have ONE CHIN!!
And i guess Jackson didnt have anything to do with those blunders by Festus! Did you see the Edwadsville game or francis howell or holt or any of the other Jackson games? Seckman had only beat one team with a winning record! They are a running team, did you see what Jackson did to Lindbergh who was a running team. We will see friday nite
And Grain Valley didnt turbo Grandview like Nevada did. Whats your point? Just an opinion.
Lol well I stand by my original prediction based on what I saw at the game. Could be right or could be wrong. Don't really have a horse in the race one way or another. None the less my opinion and what I am going with. Good luck to all this Friday!
Basing your opinion on one game is risky. Have you seen several Seckman games?
Marionville will win their district semi game by a lot less than most think, and they don’t stay within 2 TDs of Portageville and probably lose by more than that.
How long has it been since Perryville St. Vincent was in a HSFB State title conversation?
I know they were solid in 98.
Beat a good Fair Grove squad by a TD in the quarterfinals if I’m remembering right.
I’m sure they had some solid years in the earlier part of the 2000s
I don’t think St Vincent is really that good to be honest Top.
They’ve lost to the only decent teams they played on their schedule.
Thayer, Valle, and Scott City (and for the Valle homers, yes I’m aware that Valle is better than decent)

So in the 1998 season I mentioned, St Vincent lost to North Platte in the state title game.
In 2000 they lost to Santa Fe in the state title game
In 2004 they beat East Buch for the state title
I like your breakdown. I think Bolivar and Mac Co. will be closer with a possible Mac Co win.
They're a young team, mostly Juniors and Sophomores & had some lessons early, those loses to Thayer and Scott City were by a combined 5 points the first two weeks of the year. They have a Senior QB who can sling it a little bit but their best shot will probably be next year
