Cassville, who Monett beat 21-20, finished 3rd in the Big 8. Cassville is ranked #54 in Missouri, only a few spots ahead of #57 St. Joseph Lafayette who Maryville beat 52-20. Maryville also beat #38 Chillicothe 61-14 and #55 Smithville 39-0.
So, please tell me again how much better the Big 8 is for Monett. Losing to Lamar really isn't an accomplishment.
Hey Honcho, ....yes the Big 8 is better!!! Cassville only lost to Monett by 1 point.
