Lamar has been blessed both by great coaching and some very fortunate genetics. What gets me every year is how they manage to field guys not only in the trenches who are as big as they are, but also at the skill spots as well. They consistently have guys in the backfield pushing 190-200+, in my day that's how big the lineman were in C2.
Heavy recruiting from the nearest town (not city) in each direction. Liberal, Sheldon, Golden City and Jasper😊😏😂
I don’t know a whole lot about them but I would guess a lot of it is they are probably really good in the weight room. I think they develop their kids and they work extremely hard. I always look at some of the most consistent programs or coaches in the state and if they’re a public school usually their coach is outstanding in the Weight Room. Most schools will have a class or two come through that are really good but the ones that maintain it for a decade or more are the ones who develop kids in the weight room and are great teachers in there. I would love to know what every school does and the different philosophies that coaches have in there.
Can you tell me what happened on the 12 man TD to win the game. I didn't watch it nor have I heard any details. ? If the refs had called it, would Luth have had time to run another play although 5 yds further back or would the game be over... ?
A possible field goal. But re read all comments. Lamar could’ve played better, they didn’t. And lost. But yes that was a fairly big (if you don’t look at all previous play before hand) non call.
So that is why Golden City, Sheldon, and Liberals
I mean an 8 yard punt and 3 Fumbles didn’t help Lamar
Population of each.
Nope. Nobody is arguing that. People can’t read lmao. I’ve and other have stated there’s plenty else that could’ve been done to prevent that at the end even being a deal.
Oh I’m well aware, imagine me behind you and you make that point and I just yell Yeah, like I got your back.
I will say there are plenty of kids playing for or have recently played for Lamar, Webb, and Carthage that had parents and grandparents that were former Jasper athletes. Why? It's closer to where these parents work now and there isn't a lot to keep them in Jasper anymore. One Webb offensive lineman had a Jasper all-state grandfather from the 70s. He's continuing the family tradition, just in a different town.
I can see that but Carthage and Webb have jobs and Joplin nearby. Not Lamar.
Lamar has benefited from like 3 kids who were studs, who has parents originally from the town or one parent. And then because there was no football, or bad football at that schooo decided driving 10 more miles to work wasn’t much of a deal.
Don't get me wrong, this is a horrible story line and sucks for Lamar that the refs didn't catch this. This is why we need instant replay in HS football 🤣. What this article doesn't point out is how many Holding Penalties (by Lamar) were ignored. The questionable pass interference calls late in the game. The late hit out of bounds by the kicker. The officials are human and they make errors.Lutheran St. Charles' state championship-winning touchdown vs. Lamar shouldn't have counted
The penalty would have cost the Cougars five yards and could have forced a field goal when their kicking game appeared questionable late in the game.www.news-leader.com
The only thing interesting is the last sentence.
Private school graduated refs. They need to use the multiplier and success formula to move these refs up. Next year they will be moved up to class 5 next year for the crews successful achievement of letting 12 men in the field. I love it
Zero Lamar fans have bitched about it. I’m the only regular on here. The rest have said nothing but Lamar did more to lose game then refs messing up final play.
Yes, I’m sure there’s 4 or 5 people. Check profiles. I haven’t seen many names I know. I live in the town lol 😂
You are most likely correct in that assessment, but there are still more blue collar opportunities in Lamar than those other places. Also, if some folks do still prefer a small town home life with a commute to the cities for work, I'd say Lamar is more convenient to live in that those other towns. You still have more resources, such as groceries, etc, and no, Dollar Generals are not grocery stores. Plus Lamar's conference opponents are probably more exciting destinations to road trip to than the other mentioned 'burgs.
Trust me, their win will never be tainted. They are State Champions and they will tell their grandchildren that. They won't say we were Class 2 State Champions. They will tell their wives and children that in 2021, they were the best team in the State.
Good question and another is what happened to the targeting hit called out by the two announcers I believe in the third quarter. Anyone with access to the game could take screen shot of it and post like the 12 man shot.The announcers called 33 on Lutheran team for making the hit.That talk disappeared faster than Joe Biden mail in votes! Again 33 on Lutheran team made hit! OH wait ! I may have just answered my own question ! !
No the system is fine. Just like any phrasing someone decides to use. You say that like it’s not true if someone states they are “state champions” instead of “class 2 state champions” there’s no difference in regards to needing to state such a thing. Anyone with much care into if someone plays or even likes football in the first place knows there’s classes and differing state champions.
We are having a discussion about the “need” for there to be one. Instead of 6! Lmao. Adults have more important things to care about? Must not be you, you are on here. Mike you are the weakest link. I would say I can’t believe you stated adults have more important things to care about while being on the same message board and deciding to comment on the topic? But I’m not. The stupidity you show everyday just aligns with that perfectly.
LOl I'm the weakest link. It isn't always about you all star. My post was directed at him. You're so hard bent at coming at me you can't even figure out what what I'm talking about.
