STATE RANKED MATCHUPS IN THE OZARKS

[ChaoticFanatic]

We’ve got:

Class 5 #4 Carthage @ Class 4 #1 Webb City

Class 5 #8 Lebanon @ Class 4 #4 West Plains

Class 3 #11 Springfield Catholic @ Class 3 #7 Reeds Spring


Thoughts? Does anyone know if Riley is going to be healthy for Catholic this week?? They won last week without him. He plays both ways.

Lebanon should not be ranked!!! They have played NO ONE!! I will be very surprised if West Plains doesn't turbo them.

I tend to agree. They barely got by Rolla last week, which is the only explanation I can think of that would warrant Rolla almost being ranked in Class 4 since Lebanon was state ranked in Class 5 last week.
I think the top 5-7 teams in Class 4 are THAT good and then it drops off steeply after that and same for Class 5.

I think that can be said for all of the classes.

Except for Class 2 imo.
Seems to be stacked 1-15. I think so at least.

Rolla has not played Lebanon yet. Rolla's only loss on the season was a bad one to West Plains and they are really good! Not saying Rolla should be ranked but Lebanon has nothing to do with that?

We will know a little more about Lebanon after these next three weeks because they could lose to WP and still be a very good team.

Saw their game vs Glendale. Lebanon's run game looked good (Glendale's defense is bad!). However Lebanon looked horrible on defense. To me the big difference between the OC and other conferences in the area is the OC teams all play poor defense. West plains is probably the exception to that this year.

You’re correct. Rolla barely beat Parkview last week. Idk how I got confused. I knew Rollas only loss was to West Plains. Chalk that up to a brain fart.

I am certain you have more firsthand knowledge of the OC than do I so I accept your analysis.

It’s so hard to gauge other teams when you compare them to their losses to WP, like you said, Lebanon could get smoked by WP and still be a good team.

My personal prediction is WP over Lebanon 42-0. Which would be the same score of the Kickapoo game, but we all know that Lebanon beat the Poo 41-0 in Week 1. West Plains was on top 42-0 at half last week against Kickapoo and then played the reserves the whole second half.
