And it didn’t get better. Just absolute destruction. 47-12 at half. 2 FG’s for Rolla in first 16 minutes. 80-32 final. Could’ve been 150-20.
 
And Rolls had beaten Poo by 1 earlier in the season. Poo didn’t have Fontleroy for that one but still... They are scary good at this point and should win state. They are at least 20-25 points better than any other team in SWMO
 
I don't know how they match up with Incarnate Word, but IWA is always extremely tough. That is a really impressive dismantling of Rolla though.
 
It is almost unfair lol. Whenever they play Incarnate Word is obviously the state title game. It is good for everyone that they bumped IWA up to class 6.
 
Incarnate Word definitely belongs in class 6. It was getting pretty dumb how dominant they were in class 4.
 
Kpoo vs IWA is a matchup I would really like to see. Don't have a clue who would come out on top.
 
Poo and IWA played earlier this season, Poo led almost the entire way but IWA won by 5, 64-59. The difference between the two coaches showed up at the end of that one. Again, another game where Poo did not have Fontleroy
 
is the Rolla parent problem resurfacing? I've heard some crazy stories about one mom being a loose cannon. Getting the police involved in youth tourneys etc... Why can't the Rolla admin nip this in the bud?
 
Rolla seems to be in a role-finding stage. They are extremely talented, with an especially loaded junior class, that talent helps them win some big games. As a bystander, it seems like the last few years this group has gotten to play off of some older classmates and play that 4th/5th option (Minus Campbell). So they brought some surprising depth, now that they are focal points they are still learning what role each other plays, although the season is almost over, they had a lot of time off with COVID issues, but I think they will figure it out for sure.
 
It was pretty shocking to watch Rolla's coaching staff let Poo score 14 points in the last 1:11 of the first quarter without calling a timeout to stop the carnage.

The difference for Poo this year is guard play. They've lacked it the past couple of years, when they had all the size in the world, but without good guard play you're going to get exposed by a good team. A rematch with IWA could be very interesting. IWA is so consistently talented and well coached I would expect them to have an approach to handle Kickapoo's press, so Poo better have something else up their sleeve.
 
Incarnate Word definitely belongs in class 6. It was getting pretty dumb how dominant they were in class 4.
As a graduate of one of the class 4 schools who has lost a Final 4 game and a state title game to IWA by large margins, it was pretty demoralizing to get that far with our best class in school history and still realize you have no chance
