I am sure Mox has had a few....
My reaction to gay jokes at Mox's expense
Small public schools have zero chance
- Thread starter Nwalls
- Start date
Ritter has 1 5 star recruit, a Soph WR, and a 4 star DE and 3 Star QB.
LN has four 4 stars on defense and 3 three stars on defense. and a couple others on offense.
Its really just a STL talent boom, the city has never had this many prospects at one time. Last 5 years has been something we've never seen
Being the bigger man here, I will refrain from making any rude comments about your wife. Now dont cross me!
Jolene is the new expert on every team. How she has time to visit all of their practices is magical.
K one more time explaining the Maryville thing...
City population is 10,000. There is around 7,000 college students. Some of these count in both groups (between 2 to 3 thousand) Are older out of state students that change their residency to Maryville so they can pay in state tuition.
The high demand for housing from students has driven some of the middle class and below to 16 communities within 20 minutes of Maryville all in Nodaway County comprising of 6 additional school districts. While most work in Maryville.
While the city has grown it's youth population has not. Through the 80's and early 90's grade sizes were around 150. Now they barely over 100 per grade.
If a person didn't know their size you would think their HS campus and sports facilities was a class 4 size school. All those landlords and property owners and students that dont have children still have to pay all those property/sales taxes.

Luck had every right to retire. Sorry man.
I love football. There’s this thing called google, you can research teams. See roster sizes things like that.
You can also see what people say on here, who are from the town that’s being discussed. You can go to other boards and see what other people think about local teams.
It’s very easy to have a decent comprehensive opinion on any team if you’d like to. Keep it coming Duck, this isn’t hard though. Try harder.
I went to a local teams practice today. I have a really good understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. Nothing online has remotely painted this picture. But keep telling yourself you know all about each team.
Never said I did. Keep trying to press that idea though. I go to as many games as I can throughout the season. Did you know you see a fraction of plays in practice? I asked, because you used that in your argument. Helping you out.
Not to mention the many other problems with practice in comparison to a actual game. Lol
Duck: “You can sit online, I go to practices!”
(Suggesting I don’t do that, or that I don’t go to games only browse the internet)
Me: I mock that assumption.
Duck: “Clueless”
I think it’s pretty clueless to assume someone thinks they know everything about a team.
Oh well.
One of us has actually coached for over two decades. The other likes to argue online and act like an expert on teams across the state. Continue on. I am ignoring you.
Arguing points of authority doesn’t work in any realm. You coached for 20 years, coached boys or men. Yet, you still have the opinion a man shouldn’t be able to think of his health, and his children, and decide to walk away from the game. That’s all I need to know.
No? You keep desperately trying to counter me. You are waiting for my responses. You aren’t ignoring anything. I fully respect your wishes and hope you don’t respond. I’m bored.
I’ll feed the troll job one last time on that comment. I can find ways, or go to games, or know people from different areas from the state and form opinions on them. Observations. You can’t find where I say I know “everything about every team” *yawns loudly*

Valle was Class 2A only back in the 70's and early 80's when their enrollment was over 300 kids...and YES they did have 80-90 kids a few years back then...but not since they have dropped to Class 1 have they had big numbers like that. Valle has never had a D-I kid and very few D-II players. All their kids come from Parish schools in St.e Genevieve County. There are only two schools in the whole County...Ste.Gen, Public and Valle. Most of the county is Catholic...so even many Ste. Gen. Public kids are Catholic. Most who don't know won'y believe this...but Valle DOESN'T recruit...never has. I lived there for 9 years and coached on both sides of that rivalry. I still have many friends there and know both Coaching staffs well...they have a rich football tradition at both places...but there is no recruiting.
And rural community private schools are totally different than suburban private schools, yet they want to always link them together

Oh. I didnt realize we had a couple of comedians on this board! Ill have you know, that I have been dieting and exercising all summer. So those comments are NOT funny!
Seems I recall that many in 1992. I'm sure some of our friends on Mosports has a roster from then.
My son got 4 stars yesterday and 3 the day before. He is up to 7 on the week. He is only in kindergarten, just imagine when he gets in High School.
Why should Maryville not be in class 2?
Former Valle star QB Jeremy Hoog was a 4 year starter at Missouri State, set multiple records, and is in their Hall of Fame. At the 1995 state championship game during warm-ups Valle was stretching on the yard lines and probably went 6-8 lines deep every 5 yards. The opposing team at the other end of the field was in a circle stretching with about 20 something players. It was a night and day difference watching the 2 teams warm-up from a number of players standpoint.
So the argument here is that public schools don't recruit? Maybe rural areas don't but the metro areas do. If you think otherwise your wearing blinders.
Simple to figure out.........12,000 or more are not students. Remember this is a college town and it has a lot of people that are teachers and retired people like me.

Great for Valle. Sounds like the really got the kids in the community involved back then in the football program. Kind of reminds me of the current day Webb City

It was 92. Hoog was the qb and the class 1 state champs beat the class 3 state champs. How many years can you say that?
Didn't know enrollment numbers. Spoke too soon. Knew last year they were class 3 by enough id want to enrollment numbers. Going to be annoying watching this change year in and year out lol
For as long as I can remember Maryville, Centralia, California, Versailles, Macon, Mountain Grove, Ava are the schools that always bounce back and forth between Class 2 and Class 3.
Honestly i can't believe how many good athletes came out of that town. I graduated in 85. I remember after all my baseball days were over, I got into playing competitive slowpitch teams. Every year i played with the local KC team at the annual KC tournament at the Rainbow complex in Columbia. Back when there was over 100 teams in the competitive side, great great times. Jeff City, St. Charles, Ste Gen, Westphelia, Washington, so great battles. Got to know quite a few guys from Ste. Gen. Great ball players, but even more great people and families. I can see exactly why those teams were so good, and also how they produced some kids who were great athletes even after that.
coincidence that Lamar's run began when Maryville moved up to C3
Lamar may have not win 7 straight if they stay. But some of those Lamar teams were good enough to beat Maryville.
Lamar faced them in 2009, I believe and it ended 21-7, so it was by no means a blowout.
Take more breaks, and post more song lyrics.
I find this hard to believe but friend of mine thats an administrator at a rival conference school heard it was because he wanted to graduate at semester to play spring football at Ohio State but wouldnt meet Trinity graduation requirements.
