Let's take a deep dive into Class 2

Ava is a really well coached team and last year in the trenches they had an all time group, they were hella hyped against Lamar who at this point is more or less a defacto SCA member. That score did not surprise me at all. And LN barely beat Trinity in the district final, 48-46. Unless you're not really counting them, which I get.

This year is exciting because for the first time in nearly a decade some other teams actually kinda have a claim to the title. There are contenders from almost every corner of the state.

Idk HOW I forgot about the Trinity game. So, you’re right. It WAS super close. I agree. I’m enjoying the parity this year too.
 
Pick who you want to. Having an opinion doesn’t mean you know squat about football. Having a vagina doesn’t exclude you from getting it as well as you try to give it. You’re clueless about football. Even when you ride Lamar’s jock and TRY to contribute, the SWMO guys here are scratching their heads while they silently let you babble about halftime adjustments that you don’t know anything about. I’d be MORE than glad to tell you that you’re a wannabe football “expert” to you in-person. I’d even help explain the game to you so you don’t continue to embarrass yourself. Being female doesn’t prohibit you from getting lit into here anymore than anyone else. Go cry me a river and sign up for one of those tutorial events coaches like to throw for football mom’s so you can contribute something meaningful to threads in the future.

I think they could've made the semi's because of how the bracket shakes out, but they were definitely not a top 4 team in C2 last year, which ultimately is a moot point because the bracket is what it is (Case in point: Clark County really wasn't a very good team last year). But a lot of my thoughts on Monroe City stem from the fact that it took an improbable catch to beat Valle (some could say it wasn't a catch) in a game they won 12-7. That same year Lamar beat Valle 55-7. Lamar nearly lost to Ava and LN. Who themselves had close games with mutliple other C2 schools. Add to all that the fact that, if I recall correctly, Monroe City lost their best player in #11. That's basically my thought process, as poor as that all may be.

All great points.
I'm not huge on comparing scores versus common opponents, but in this case it was over 40 points so it's fair. Many things can play into that, I believe Lamar played Valle early in the season & teams typically improve over the season. Also, I suspect Valle could've easily been intimidated in that matchup & possibly laid down after being jumped all over versus being hyped to play for a state championship. Yes, that was a great pass breakup & #11 was a fun player to watch!
 
#11 from Monroe City and #45 from Staley pound for pound were the best players I watched last year. Getting to watch Monroe City/Valle and Staley/Pattonville all in one day in Como was a great time.

And I guess I misremembered that it was Valle who almost got that corner pass to nearly beat Monroe City instead of Monroe catching it to win.
 
I agree on your top 4. We'll see who is a step or two above or below the others. But my hunch is there is a big drop off after the top 4. The NE MO contingent on here will obviously disagree.
I don't disagree. I would argue that the winner of D6 will give BO a game for about a half but that's it. I also believe that Macon will be a very tough test for Lathrop, but they should pull it out in the end. If somehow Macon can hold Lathrop to under 30 points it's a toss-up game IMO. Even so, asking this Macon team to beat both Lathrop and Lawson in successive weeks on the road is too much.

Your hate for me is quite hysterical. This is a high school football forum. Get over yourself. Shouldn’t you be changing so a woman could possibly find you attractive someday? Woman don’t take kind to men like you. I’m sorry our opinions are different. And that you hate me for it. Try logging off and make something of yourself. You beta male.

I get the feeling it's not a personal thing he has with you. I think it's with females in general. Probably stems from some early childhood stuff.

I don’t care enough about you to hate you, Jolene ... and the fact that you really don’t know anything about football is proven by the comments you make. Here’s a tip though. You don’t make yourself more credible by crying about how much people hate you and then playing victim with the whole “but I’m a woman” card. You take shots at posters so you need to roll with the punches when you get punched back. You’re one person, so I don’t know why your replies all have “we” in them. There’s a forum full of posters that think the Sun rises and sets on SWMO and hate Trinity for all sorts of reasons. YOU are the only one that feels victimized because you get called out for not knowing what you pretend you do. If you don’t want this smoke then I suggest you resist the compulsion to swing at me ... because I’m gonna swing back and I’m not going anywhere. Fight your own battles.

Nope. When anyone else here takes shots at someone, pretends to state facts and gets exposed , they get called out for it. She’s no different. She hasn’t had a problem challenging guys’ manhood, but firing back at her is wrong? FOH.

You are a hateful sexist. As far as I’m concerned. Your comments towards me since last month have all been sexist. And definitely not anything to do with what you believe to be a football issue. All comments end up going towards how I know nothing becuase I’m a woman. And I should basically get in the kitchen. Leave me alone if you can’t stick to football discussion. Moron.

I do. And to be honest. It’s beneath me to get into this with you anymore. But for the record? You are such a awful person. You come at me each time. And take a shot. You decide to comment. You decide to be hateful. Besides JN? I don’t take shots at anyone. I’m pleasent to most. I’m not a victim. I don’t claim to be. I’m calling it how I see it. And it’s obvious others agree. Maybe you should look in the mirror. Turning off notifications from you.

Same here. But I’m going to defend myself. I agree.

Defend yourself against what? Against a reply I made to someone else’s post about Trinity that you didn’t like? Or are you defending yourself against the reply I made on someone else’s post where I said ratings don’t matter and the best team will be decided on the field? If you want to “defend yourself” when I tell you that you don’t know about football but pretend you do ... then all you have to do is contribute without embarrassing yourself. Your lack of knowledge isn’t because you’re female, but you playing victim when you dish it out but can’t take it and then want to be treated differently for having a vagina IS.

All of your comments and replies are catalogued. Every random shot you’ve taken at me is there for you and everyone that cares to view for themselves. Pretending to be a victim just because you throw a rock and then hide your hands is cowardly. Not because you’re female, but because that’s what cowards do. You’ve never been obligated to bitch because you don’t like to read my comments about how Trinity didn’t violate MSHSAA rules. It’s just more than you can stand to have someone tell you that they don’t care if you don’t like something they do.
 
Hang in there Jolene. I enjoy your knowledge and love of the game. Keep posting, you can't please everyone.
 
If I was a Lamartian, I'd root for anybody but Ava in D3 and Lathrop. Only scenario to host the semi is to go on the road in the quarter and have Lathrop be the opponent in the semi. The hosted less rule would give home field to Lamar. If it's Ava, Lamar hosts and bottom half tiebreak would go to Lathrop, and if anyone other than Lathrop it would be less/= host with bottom half tiebreak in pocket.

Lamar will be ready for whatever the bracket brings them. If it's Ava, Fair Grove, Strafford, etc....,they will be prepared. Lamar has gone on the road before, so I don't think this year will be any different. Why would it matter if they go on the road in the quarters or in the semis? They are going to have to beat a good team on the road, just like every year.

I would think of any year, this one would be the one I'd want to host the semi with such clear and seemingly close contenders. It's a given Lamar will bring their best wherever it takes place. Just throwing out the only scenario that offers the comforts of home.

Do you think that going to Lutheran North last year in the semifinals was an easier road than what they will have in the semis this year?

In a word, yes. Not to say this Lathrop team is better or worse than LN last year, but this Lamar team is different. I've noticed a tendency for slightly undiciplined play, more so than in past seasons. Plenty of time to still clean this up of course, but they don't have a handle on it yet. Those type of issues seem to be enhanced on the road IMO.

I’m becoming more aware of that. I think everyone should loosen up. Including myself. Yeah that guy is crappy. But I could handle it better. Not everyone is going to go back and see his comments towards me. A few on here know how far he will go during a football discussion. Beyond anything reasonable. I sometimes do it myself. But only if someone has done it to me. Im the kind of person I’ll treat you how you treat me. Im not afraid to let someone know what’s up. Anyways thank you. And I enjoy all Lamar posters. I wish Lamar good luck! And of course safe travels! Let’s see if we can cheer Lamar and Cassville to state this year! And of course represent the Big 8 in the best way we can! :)

Holden vs Lafayette County would be a great matchup. They played in Holden during the regular season, in what was a back and forth game all night. Higginsville went 91 yards with 1:55 left on the clock to score the game winning TD. In other words, these are two evenly matched teams. But like you said, we don't want to get ahead of ourselves. Let's not take any team too lightly.

South Callaway / North Callaway game last week went to overtime. North Callaway has struggled recently but came back against S C last week in the second half to show they aren't going to go away easily. I would take SC as the winner but NC won't just roll over in this one.
