Showdown Friday

[thetophat2021]

So many conference etc. showdowns this week Statewide! Which one will be the best? Which one are you all attending?

Here's a little under the radar one: Bolivar at Lebanon could be for the Ozarks Conference title.

Helias at Cardinal Ritter is where I am heading.

If Leb is really as good as their score from Friday night, Bolivar will barely be a speed bump.

deciding between Webb/joplin and Seneca/Lamar. Was dead set on going to Webb until the injury bug hit both teams. Decisions!?

You can do both … I’d go to Seneca/Lamar and let the DVR record the Webb/Joplin game since it’s being broadcast locally on KSNF.

Kinda looking like Lebanon is a sure fire 9-0 agree.

Maryville vs. Pius for the #1 seed in C3D8.

The high profile coc games are tough to beat. However in my opinion there is something special about packed out high stakes games at smaller schools in a smaller stadium way over capacity which I am sure will be the case with Seneca and Lamar.

Should be a good one. Win or lose. Pumped for it.

 

[NEMOFball]

Monroe City @ South Shelby. MC with a 10 game win streak vs SS on the line. South is a pretty heavy favorite though.

Would love to see Seneca/Lamar or Helias/CR

That’s an idea!

 

[Cards1968]

Helias at Cardinal Ritter is where I am heading.

I wouldn't pick another over this one. Best game of the regular season potential iyam.

I am attending the historic Odessa at Oak Grove game first time in over 20 years! Both are unbeaten it should be a crazy atmosphere and planning to go early praying to get a seat.

This one is going to be a good measuring rod to see how good both teams really are.

Didn't put this in Pick Em only because I had it last year and I want to spread my out of region games around the State hard as that will be to pull off but I like Ritter by 2-3 scores FWIW.

Don't underestimate Helias. They handled Hannibal easily. Cardinal Ritter had a couple of weeks off due to forfeits. This game could easily be a blowout or could at the same time be a nail biter down to who has the ball last. Cardinal Ritter has made this game their homecoming game. A lot of eyes will be on this game from all over the state.

I'll be attending the Friday night showdown at our dinner table. My toddler vs myself in an attempt to get him to eat at the table and his veggies.

What is the over/under for the amount of time at the table? 5 minutes.

Money line is -150 on the table and -250 on veggies. Put me down at 150 for the table and 250 on the veggies for the toddler. It'll be the easiest 200 I make this week. If he's anything like mine, if he did it Friday night it'd be the first time he ever did it!

I'm in for another 100 on the under!

We have a separate "tiny table" for our 4 yr old near the kitchen table. She sits at it, takes a bite or two, does a lap or two around the table. Wash, rinse, repeat until she's done with the mac n cheese cup, hot dog, chicken nuggets, french fries, uncrustable, yogurt tube, or whatever other nutritional goodness she's decided to devour that evening. And then my wife will mention she's just not sure why she's built like a 3' tall tank.

Seneca Lamar is going to be an old fashion Big 8 slugfest.

 

[MoSooner69]

Can you imagine the attendance if they played on an off night? Heck, half of the Big 8 would be there if they didnt have games of their own....

Man this one would be good for a Saturday because of the Ref shortage.

 

[thetophat2021]

We found Bosko's soulmate...............

I would probably make the 4.5 hour drive for that one. Been wanting to go to a Lamar home game for a long time.

You should, if feasible! It’s a good time. We supposedly have “the best funnel cakes in the big 8!” Or something along those lines lol 😂 (Our announcer claims that)

How do you plan to DVR the Joplin game?

Channel 16 is only available over the air, not on Directv or Dish. Maybe I’m just behind the time’s technology-wise.

16 is on my dish

 

[farmer_fran]

I am excited about the Bolivar - Lebanon game. Unlike some, I think Bolivar hangs around in this one.

Also interested in the Grain Valley - Platte County game. Grain Valley lost to Oak Park in the last minute by 1 last week. This could be another very good game.

Also, if you don't have any local channels for dish, call them tell them you want the antenna on your satellite and they'll come out and put it on! You'll then have all local channels!

 

[AC100]

I have YouTube TV and I have Joplin locals.

You don't have to DVR it, should be able to watch it on demand here:

[Craig Hull]

Record, watch on demand, whatever it takes ... I watch the local stations through antenna and then with the ROKU, I can scan for games on YouTube and the MSHSAA.tv app.
I try to go attend a game every Friday, then come home, scan scores of games that interest me and then try to find them on demand on the MSHSAA.tv app. Then watch whatever I want across the state.
Tonight I will be watching at least two games, the Joplin/Webb game live on TV and then I'll mute the sound and watch the CJ/Carthage game at my leisure. Usually try to do my own stats off the video.
A part of me wishes the local TV stations -- and I understand KOAM/KFJX 14 are partners, same with KODE/KSNF -- could find a way to set a broadcast schedule before the season each station do a game every Friday night.
For example, they could broadcast the best possible game each week in the Joplin metro (Joplin, Webb City, Carl Junction) and then on the sister station do the best area game of the week and allow those programs some TV time. Seneca, Lamar, Jasper, Diamond, Neosho, Carthage, McDonald County, maybe even Mount Vernon, Monett, East Newton if the logistics allow.
I would imagine the biggest challenge is the logistics. Some of the stadiums simply don't have the space in the press box on Friday nights for a broadcast team nor the capabilities to support all the cameras and TV trucks needed for video production.
I will give a ton of credit to Webb City for its production crew of the CJ at Webb City game two weeks ago. Those kids did a great job with the cameras and video quality. The broadcast team was the Webb City radio crew and they've always done a professional job broadcasting (as long as you don't mind the occasional "we", "they" , "us" and "them" thrown in) so it worked out well. I think the interest is there, would be interesting to see if a station could make it work financially.

Yeah I totally agree. I think broadcasting whatever is a game of interest each week would draw more viewers and ad revenue than whatever garbage NBC and some of those 12.4 channels are spewing out during that time frame and the schools and kids would absolutely love it.

You'd have some weeks where it's impossible to decide between WC/Joplin or Seneca/Lamar and some weeks where there aren't any obvious games to cover. Yea some of the logistics may be challenging but I think it could totally be done. Kind of how that Next Level group does their schedule and game of the week except actually do a good professional job of it and put it out over the air.
