Joplin 49 - Camdenton 7 - FINAL
- Thread starter ChaoticFanatic
- Start date
Was 24-0 with less than a min left. And the eagles snagged an INT and managed to have about a 25 yd gain from a catch and run on a crossing pattern and put through another FG to end the half.
First play from scrimmage in 2nd half, Camdenton with an 80 yd TD pass. That's right, I said pass.
Won't see another one of those out of the Lakers this year.
27-7 Joplin.

Lakers botch the punt. Eagles take over at the Camdenton 29 yd line. Following a Joplin penalty, another receiving TD for Westmoreland. This one 35 yds. 2 PT conversion good. 42-7 Joplin. 8:45 left in 3rd.
A near pick 6 for the Eagles. Marked down at the 1 yd line.
Westmoreland punches it in for his 5th score of the night.
XP good.
49-7 Joplin as the turbo clock runs the final minute off.

This doesn't help the District 5 is the best argument.
Well, Joplin is Class 6 and they are 7-1 now so.... doesn't exactly do too much damage to the argument either.
Camdenton's best lineman was out and their best RB was playing hurt so..
But I can see why you would think that.
Seeds #2 and #3 lost in District 8 tonight. One of them lost to a Class 3 team after leading by 7 at half so.... the debate is about as even as it was this morning.
I guess it just depends who they draw and where they end up in their district rankings. I believe Rockhurst was right in the mix with them and the Hawklets lost tonight so we'll see how everything shakes out.
Realistically, there's a possiblity that Joplin may be able to get out of the first round.
But other than that, they're a year or two away from possibly being better than they've been in at least 15 years.
QB is a soph, tailback they had tonight was a junior, Westmoreland their super stud is a soph, I don't know where their lineman are at though.
I don't know anything about Joplin's team this year other than the few games I've seen. As far as skill players go, they look set for the next couple of years if no one moves and they stay healthy.
I
would think if they win next week they have to be 3 seed and have a better shot than in a longtime
I agree with what you said, just expected Camdenton to keep the score a little closer.
Oh I was more than surprised by how the game went. I won't deny that at all. I think previously in the week I had Joplin as a 10-point favorite on one of the threads on here.
Joplin leaves the OC with nine football titles.

Oh, Hillcrest didn't tie Parkview in '61.

They would get a home game against Lee's Summit. Not a gimmee. Then an away game at Park Hill. Then a game against the Lee's Summit West/Rockhurst winner.
This obviously assumes the higher seeds all win their games (other than the Joplin win over Park Hill).
Well a little shocked at what i saw last night. Joplin really played well on both sides of the ball. The Eagles are really playing together and with a lot of confidence. Camdenton is big but didnt have an answer tonight. Without a running clock Joplin could have scored 60. The Lakers had 178 yards of offense and 80 of that came on one play. Camdentons game plan seemed to be hit the Eagles Soph. QB on every play. There were several plays that should have been flagged. Definitely a little disappointed in Coach Shore. The Turbo clock was deserved and I dont say that easy.
So does Joplin have a chance to move up in district seeding enough to get a second home game in districts if they can win the first round game?

Also Joplin did this without senior RB that has rushed for over 1000 yards . Soph. Davis filled in and had 148 yards.
You just summed up the problem in one post. Camdenton & Lebanon really need to get into the 21st century - or at least out of the 1930s. They can still slap around weaker opponents with 3 backs and a big line, but when they get up against teams that should be evenly matched, this is going to happen more and more. Bunching up 10 guys within a 5 yd radius with 1 wideout as a decoy probably isn't going to lead to a deep postseason run against teams that matchup up front. As Joplin showed last night, gotta make them defend the whole field nowadays.

That's exactly my point: times have changed. Even today, you can still beat overmatched teams by running a wing-T, but you're going to have problems against teams that match up better up front. If Camdenton had actually made Joplin defend the whole field, I doubt they lose by 6 TDs. Their offense just made it easier for Joplin to defend. JMO.
I don't care if you're running the single wing or 5 wide spread, that statement holds true...
Ive seen Camdenton teams that can throw the ball pretty good but this isnt one of them. Joplin last year struggled throwing at times
I think I recall in a thread about a month ago saying that Camdenton not being able to pass the ball is going to bite them when they play teams that can throw it well.
I saw a Camdenton coach at the wrestling clinic today and he told me they threw it 54 times last night?
I find it hard to believe that they even ran 54 plays.
I watched the game on the JETtv or whatever and I believe Camdenton only had 3-4 first downs in the first half and only had maybe 6-7 first downs in the second half.
now with that logic, Camdenton couldn't have ran more than 44 offensive plays last night at the most.
And I know for a fact that they punted at least 5 times, so there's 39 plays.
I would say they probably ran the ball about 24 times and passed it about 20 times.
Decided to see if I could find any confirmation on that available and this is what I got from the Lake News Online(Cammy Newspaper)
Camdenton, which is used to steamrolling opponents in the running game, was held to just 41 rushing yards as Hill led the way with 18 yards on the ground. He also led the Lakers in the passing game with three catches for 98 yards while fellow senior wideout Jackson Ezard also pulled down three catches for 37 yards of his own. Meanwhile, Lumley finished the night completing seven of his 17 pass attempts for 146 yards with a score and two interceptions.

The Class three team that Smithville lost to is ranked higher than anyone CJ has played outside of Webb. You myopic SWers crack me up.
You love that Calpreps don't you?
On the field:
Chillicothe 14, Smithville 7
Calpreps:
Carl Junction 31, Chillicothe 17
It's okay Joey, your argument is falling apart. Keep the faith in calpreps. Reality isn't for everyone.
I have to admit, even with some impressive wins up to this point I was surprised with such a lopsided victory. I'm sure Joplin fans are really enjoying a great season that's been several years coming.
They will at least get one home game for districts but regardless, their district is tough even with good seeding and home field advantage. They had decent seeding in 2015 and all it got them was a loss at home to Blue Springs, though it was a close game.
When was the last time Joplin won a district game? Anyone know?

I bet the last district win was maybe as much as 8\10 yrs ago. If they can get past the first round they would probably play Rockhurst or Park Hill. So a pretty tall order to bad it couldnt be at home. It would be great for the Joplin kids to face either of those two.
Joplin has a pretty good nucleus of a Soph class. If they can keep the numbers up they could be good for the next couple years as well. I do think the idea of combining junior high teams is a bad idea that could hurt Joplin in a few years.
They have not combined football yet but will have 3 basketball teams i believe starting this season like an A, B & C. Football is still up in the air.
Yes the soph. class has some talent. Hopefully the numbers stay solid. The juniors and freshmen are decent as well. Joplin is not big as far as the line but seem to have good speed and they're playing for one another and working hard.

I believe Joplin's last district win was back in 2008. They beat Lees Summit 28-25 on a last second FG by a kid who hadn't even attempted one all year.
