They were right but for the wrong reason. Things usually went Webb’s way, particularly in the second half, because they were better conditioned and Roderique and staff made adjustments better than anyone in the game. Now Webb has neither of those things. But blaming 30+ years of dominance on the refs is ridiculous.
Easy bucko. Nobody “blamed” 30 yrs of dominance on the refs.
Wouldn’t bet on it,,,Webb has classes coming up filled with Athletes
How good are their 7th and 8th grade teams? JV and Freshman?
Haven’t seen junior high they just getting started. JV won the game I saw and watched 9th beat Nixa two weeks ago .
I know that’s what a lot of people want to see but I think that’s unlikely. Will Webb football be what it was in the 2000-2010s almost no chance of that. Even with roderique I don’t think that would be the case. Not unless they can convince a few hundred kids who don’t play football to leave the school so they can drop a classification.
Two bad losses while abnormally short handed isn’t the end of everything. Now if losing these games becomes a trend we’re seeing when the field is covered with skilled experienced athletes that’s a different matter but it’s not where we’re at today.
Today they are just struggling and everyone is enjoying seeing Webb city be legit bad at football for the first time any of us can remember.
It’s been said many times before (probably even in this thread), but even JRod went 5-5 his second season.
However, one season like this is an aberration. Two and the coaching staff has some explaining to do.
Biggest concern has to be the weight room/conditioning. I get it - football is a violent sport and there will always be injuries. But the injuries these Webb teams endure every season for the last 5+ years are atypical. And severe. We’re not talking about turning an ankle or spraining a wrist. We’re talking about season ending knee injuries season after season.
People used to joke that Webb was putting something in the water to make their kids bigger and faster. Now the joke is the water is making them brittle.
I’ve attended all of the class 1 thru 6 championships for some time. I think 2006 with a few scattered in before. There have been several where I thought the C4 champ was better than the C5 champ. That includes a couple Kearney teams!!
It appears this year’s Bulldog team would be competitive with any C5 team as well. I know Ritter is loaded, but I’d travel and pay to see a matchup between them and Kearney, and be rooting’ for the dogs all the way!!
What's it take to make it happen ill root for Kearney in that one lol
Ritter might be best in state regardless of class but I know KHS would bruise them a little when on Defense.
Kearney stands a real good chance, barring a rash of injuries, to play the C4 version Lutheran North in the semifinals. It would very likely be over in STL.............
This is definitely a sign of the times. Kearney fans hijacking a Webb thread!
Ya know, it’s funny. That is a familiar story. While still good, Camdenton lost their dominance about the time Pappy Pirch retired. It’s probably not that cut and dried, but that’s probably the single largest factor.
Next year Webb will have their QB and a really good sophomore class. The coach will be judged on that.
Soph class better be REALLY good if they want to win as sophs. That’s tough sledding.
I remember when webbies used to say they pulled 5'9 145lbers outta the halls and coached them up and that's how they won.
Was nobody developing the current upper classmen?
Or did other programs just beat them in the weight room?
That seems really unlikely. Only way I could see that is hypothetically there is a resignation and since he’s still a school employee he jumps in on an interim basis until a new one is identified and brought on board. I could see a second search taking longer because they may open it up to a John Perry type. Problem is an “outsider” is likely to have his own system he wants and that kind of disrupts the whole Webb city has one system thing. Maybe they could find someone with a proven track record coaching that type of offense it’s just might be hard to find the right candidate. There are risks no matter which way they would go.
This whole hypothetical is really premature though. Excuse or not they are really thin on talent under a second year coach. Let’s see what happens next year and the year after before we declare Webb to be on life support.
I don’t know specially but there was an abnormal amount of faculty that left that year and he was one of them. I think there weee some personality differences with admin.
If I recall, he took an assistant job with a Kansas JUCO, but was back to high school at Kickapoo fairly quick.
I thought JRod left Pitt and came to Webb and Thompson left Webb and took a job on Pitts staff?

Was thinking it was Coffeyville, but not sure, so I Googled… this confirmed it.
