Joplin (77) Kickapoo (13) Final

I was present for this one. Game was over 3 minutes in. Joplin probably could have scored 100 at the half had they wanted. Kickapoo was totally overmatched.

Man... Is Joplin that good or is Kickapoo just that bad!? Just a few years ago Kickapoo made the State semifinals

Joplin is definitely good. Apart from Webb City and Carthage Joplin rolled through their schedule but I don’t think Kickapoo would have won a game in the COC.
 
Watching the jet stream... holy cow. 21-0 before poo ran even one offensive play.

Its hard to see how a school with 1900 kids, the number one school that athletes in Springfield want to go to, can be as down as Kickapoo has been this year. They indeed would have gone winless in the COC and lucked into having Waynesville on the schedule early as well as the luxury of Springfield Central.
 
cj was terrible last week but whooped up on Hillcrest. the ozark must of been terrible this year.
 
Makes me question how good West Plains really is ....they rolled again tonight tho .. they may be awesome but it's tough to say because they haven't been challenged at all

Whereabouts in Arizona are you? I was bumming around Lake Powell, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley a couple years ago and really liked it.

I’m a football parent that’ll be making the trek to next week’s game at Joplin.

I'm originally from from Webb City school district, Played football at Webb City. My son went to Joplin and played football at Joplin. I'm currently living in Tuba City, I use to live in Kayenta and Dennehotso.
 
Joplin moved up from #16 to #13 in the MaxPreps Class 6 rankings after their win. If barely being in the top half of your class makes a team "very good" then yes, Joplin is very good.
 
if its win or go home it's a playoff...the globe is correct.

Joplin isn’t hanging with CBC but they are better than 13th. WR Westmoreland is getting looks from Oklahoma. Best Joplin team i’ve seen in quite a while. Not sure if they will win district and make semis but they will be competitive.

That said, Kickapoo looked bad.

they've only lost to the the #1 ranked teams in class 4-5. I'll agree joplin isnt very good...just good. Lindbergh is 7-3 vs other class 6 teams,not world beaters but joplin will be challenged. I dont expect joplin to win but should be competitive fwiw.

CBC was right there will a top 5 team in the country. they would prolly mercy clock joplin,CBC on a whole different level.
 
The globe also stated that Joplin had a "state record" 56 points in one quarter (topping the 57 points, apparently, that both Carthage and Lamar have netted in a quarter).

they were wrong on that stat,doesn't change the definition of a playoff game.
 
The question/point about no playoff wins in 20 years - the point is beyond the scheduled regular season games Joplin has apparently always lost that first game afterwards for 20 years, which seems crazy. Until last night...when they really made the 'poo look crappy.

we usually sucked and when we were decent we had basically a playoff game with rockhurst when mhsaa had the 3 district game format. we could beat ls and ls north but the rock always ended our season.
