Hallsville at Boonville TCC Championship Game

[Moleebo]

There will be a huge crowd. Hallsville will fill the visitor's stands. KWRT Radio in Boonville will broadcast game, there will also be at least 2 other stations broadcasting it as their game of the week. The extended weather forecast looks decent with a very low chance of rain and temps in the upper 50s at game time. The game will be played on Ram Turf.

Last year Boonville jumped out to a 30-0 lead in the first quarter running mostly jet sweeps out of the spread. Boonville failed to score the rest of the game. They had at least 3 turnovers and two long plays, including a touchdown, called back due to penalties. Hallsville's aggressive defense forced turnovers, but despite the turnovers and penalties Boonville was able to hold on for a 30-14 win.

IMO both teams' offenses are quite a bit better than last year.

Boonville's defense, which lost stud defensive end Lane West, linebacker Harper Stock who lead the team in tackles, linebacker Andrew Wiser. and a couple of bulky defensive linemen to graduation will also be without 4-star defensive end DJ Wesolak who, as of this writing, is ineligible. Boonville has struggled at times on defense this year but has also played very tough at crucial times in the red zone. The defense has been described as a bend-but-not-break defense. The defensive backfield is athletic with some big playmakers but is incredibly undisciplined at times leaving receivers wide open. They seemed to have regressed in this area the past couple of weeks. If the trend continues this week then expect Hallsville to capitalize with some large gains in the passing game.

I don't know much about Hallsville's defense except that they are creative and aggressive. They seem to be quite a bit improved from last year.

The kids are fired up for this game, they are extremely excited! These kids competed against each other in 7 on 7 this summer and at the Jamboree. They have been on group chats talking smack to each other since early summer. It should be a competitive game, it will decide the Tri-County Conference Champion, and could be extremely consequential to Boonville's seeding in Class 3 District 5. Mexico and Blair Oaks fans will be tracking the score of this game closely.

I think Boonville might win, but I wouldn’t take anything away from Hallsville, or their chances to advance in class 2 come playoffs.

I thought Hallsville was overrated for most of the year. I thought Blair Oaks would handle them easily. Obviously, the last couple of weeks have changed my perspective. I think Hallsville is a solid favorite in this game.

Last year Boonville was very fired up for the game and jumped on Hallsville early. I think that is a real possibility here. Boonville doesn't usually play with a lot of fire or emotion especially early in games, but when they do get lathered up, they play well. Boonville's ceiling is higher than Hallsville's. There is no doubt in my mind that the Pirates will be highly motivated for this one, and as I said earlier they play well when emotionally engaged.

If Hallsville wins this game and they don’t suffer any injuries over the next few weeks? I don’t see anyone on that side of the bracket beating them.

Depending on how well the offense looks? I might even still decide that’s how I feel about them. If they tune up Boonville but lose in the end? I’ll still feel the same way.

This is Hallsville game to lose. No question. Boonville would have to clean things up greatly to win and this is from seeing both play.

Boonville is capable of playing clean football. They scored every offensive possession in the Osage game. If the game is close they won't try anything fancy, they will feel they need to score every time they have the ball, so they won't risk getting in 3rd and long situations. The coaching staff is much better at setting defenses up than they have been in the past. They had big plays in the Southern Boone and Blair Oaks game by showing certain looks and then switching up and catching defense way out of position. I don't see Boonville shooting themselves in the foot this week. They will be focused and ready to go.

If Mexico wins it won’t change anything. Mexico has 5 class 4 teams on its schedule. Boonville will have Head to head over Blair Oaks.
